Teachers Cards 2015 using Watercolour Thank-you by Stampin' Up!

Hello!

We've been out today to celebrate FiL 80th birthday! We had a yummy lunch out and then home for coffee and cake (as requested by Dad) so a quiet celebration :-) I'll share his card and table favours with you tomorrow.

So, I'm on here today with the teachers cards I promised yesterday. Zack is the only child I have left at junior school so only one lot of teachers this year! But that's still two teachers and two assistants! I'll start today with the teachers. I wanted to make slightly more special cards for the two main teachers so I made (another) shaker card each...

Inside the shaker part I added sequins and wooden stars from my stash and a load of punched apples from the Tree builder punch over the stamped watercolour Thank-You and some cute apples from the Sprinkles of Life set too.

I had to add an extra layer of card inside to balance out the weight at the front of these cards ;-) 

I also made matching tags for the gift bags - we sent in pretty notebooks and pencils as our thank you gifts this year :-)

 and a little collage of these shaker cards...

 So, onto the teachers helpers. I went with single layer CAS style for these cards.

 with matching apples inside

 and double layered apples on the front.

and another collage for these cards and gifts to finish today :-)

Well, hopefully they liked their cards and gifts and you did too?

Thank as ever for stopping by on what is a cold, wet Sunday in the South of England - Happy summer eh!? ;-)

From My Heart by Stampin' up! Chalkboard Teachers Card

Hello!

So, I'm working on the Shabby Chic flower tutorial today, I have tried to film it (several times) but have just had to delete some data on my SD card and will go and try again! I'm thinking news anchor or camera-man (woman) is not going to be on my list of potential jobs ;-)

So anyway, today's card is a thank-you card we made at class last week. I didn't design it to be but I think it would make a great card for teachers, including male teachers as there isn't too much 'fluff' on it ;-)

I started with a Wild Wasabi base and added a layer of white before sticking with Wasabi again and embossing both layers with the Chevron folder....

 this very pretty sentiment from 'From My Heart' was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder and then die cut using the Labels Collection framelits before going over with a sponge and white craft ink to make the chalk board effect

 and finally we added a piece of Pistachio Pudding Twine, I love this thick twine and have used it tons already ;-)

OK, I'm off to try filming this video again so that the hubs can edit it tonight while I'm at work :-)

Must remember to tell him that later..... ha ha ha ha!

Remember to pop over to MY FACEBOOK page for extras and sneak peeks when I'm not on here plus see the magazines I've designed for there too :-) 

Thanks for looking today
