Thank you for Bus Driver

Hello~

I think this is finally wrapping up any school themed projects I have left...at least for the next few months.

This is the first year my son has had to take the bus to school. His elementary school was close enough to walk. The bus drivers have tough jobs. I sent a treat on the first day and did a little something at Christmas. Although my son doesn't think she appreciates it, (She hasn't come across exactly as the most friendliest person) I feel it important to thank them for the important job they have!

I think this is maybe one of my favorites out of the recent set of cards I have created.

 

I started with a blue textured card base onto which I added my school bus patterned paper down the middle. I had a scrap of apple paper on my desk that I added about 3/4 of the way down.  I took a length of blue twine and wrapped the card front and tied in a bow to the left side. I had some other scraps on the desk that I used to create a frame for my focal image.

The bus is cut out using my Cricut. I used the Recess cartridge. I added it to the PTI limitless layer circles. The sentiment is part of the GWP I received a few years back from Peachy Keen Stamps. A final finishing touch of enamel dots in the upper right of the frame to finish it off.

I am sharing at: Crafting from the heart - Anything Goes, Pause Dream Enjoy - Circles, D.L. Art - June Linky, Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes, 613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes, Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes, Cardz TV - Anything Goes.

I hope you enjoyed all my school projects and various ways to use up those papers. (I think they secretly have more papers daily because they seem to multiply)

Please have a Terrific Thursday!

You Make All the Difference

Hi!

I am sharing a quick thank you card for someone who as the sentiment states has made a difference with positive influence. Since this card is for a man I am already challenged....ha. I don't have many papers that have a masculine feel. I would say that this didn't photograph well on many forms. These papers are a lot richer than shown. But hey I play with paper not a photographer.:))))

I followed the sketch from Sunday Stamps for inspiration. I always need direction when it comes to "Dreaded Man Cards" Ha! The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps and is a sentiment builder. I believe the set was called Say it Loud. I added a few sequins for finishing touches.

 As mentioned earlier, layout inspiration from: Sunday Stamps

I am also joining over at D.L. Art - June Linky, and  Four Crazy Chicks - Crazy Egg/ATG

Thanks for popping in!

Thanks for all you do! Teacher

Good Day!

I hope your week is starting off well. You guessed it another school themed card! :)))) I think I have officially wrapped it up with the exception of doing one for the bus driver. That's a tough (and loud) job, and they do have the lives of our kiddos in their hands.

This is more simple and will go to one of his male teachers. Using some of my scraps from previous makes I used two different banner dies to cut out my patterned paper. The red frame was already created from a design I had worked on another make and decided not to use but is going to work well here. All I had to do was add a sentiment. It's a sentiment builder set from My Creative Time. I added Teacher at the bottom of the school rule paper adding a red enamel dot to the left for a little embellishing touch.

I never remember to take a picture of the inside, but I usually decorate it as well. This set is called Book Worm from Our Craft Lounge (no longer in business), but it's also another favorite set to use for these projects.

I am sharing at the following places: Lil Patch Crafty Friends - Anything Goes, D.L. Art - June Linky, Creative Fingers Challenge - Anything Goes, Four Crazy Chicks - Crazy Egg/ATG,  Hiding in my Craft Room - Use 4 different Colors, A Gem of a Challenge - Use Three of Something (Patterned paper), Crafting From the Heart - Anything Goes.

Thank you so much for dropping in!

Thank you (School themed)

Hello!

I hope you all had a fun weekend. I managed to crank out another thank you card for one of my son's teachers. I think I have one more to go. 

I started with an A2 size card base using blue card stock I had out from a previous make. (The other half) I added those never ending school themed papers to the card front. They sure are coming in handy. Those of  you who have repeat visited, I am sure you are sick of them, but I am always wanting to use my stash. Hopefully maybe you find a little inspiration while here.:))))

 

I used my Cricut to cut the apple and I added an adorable Peachy Keen stamp face to the center. The pencil is a die-cut that you paper piece and is from MCT. I added a few sequins to the focal image for a touch of embellishing. I had a ribbon snippet that I used to create a tab anchored by a black button laced with red and white Twine.  The sentiment is also from Peachy Keen and was a "Thank you" gift with purchase.

I am sharing at the following places: Lil Patch Crafty Friends - Anything Goes, D.L. Art - June Linky, Creative Fingers Challenge - Anything Goes, Four Crazy Chicks - Crazy Egg/ATG, Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes, Penny's Paper Crafty Creations - Anything Goes, Hiding in my Craft Room - Use 4 different Colors, A Gem of a Challenge - Use Three of Something (Sequins), Crafting From the Heart - Anything Goes.

Thank you for visiting! Have a marvelous Monday!

2018 Graduate

Hello there!

We interrupt the marathon of teacher cards to bring you a graduation card!:)))

The weather has been dreary with this tropical storm looming about. It's been a VERY wet spring.

I started by embossing the Graduation Cap (DeNami Designs) with gold embossing powder to create my focal point. I had a piece of patterned paper from a recent card I made still on my desk. I liked how it looked against the navy card stock, so that was an easy design find at my finger tips.  I adhered it to the front of the card leaving enough room to add the die-cut numbers (My Creative Time) for the year to add to the bottom of the card.

I have this huge roll of Gold ribbon from May Arts that I have had for at least 10 years. Good thing that gold never goes out of style! :))) I took a length and wrapped it around the card front and instead of tying in a bow, I secured it with a blue button from my stash to complete this graduation card!

I am sharing over at: Shopping our Stash - Graduation, Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge - Anything Goes, D.L. Art - June Linky, Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes,  Creative Fingers Challenge - Anything Goes, Crafty Creations - Anything Goes,  Four Crazy Chicks - Crazy Egg/ATG. Die Cuttin' Divas - Anything Goes with a die cut

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friday!

Quick post to share another Teacher card.

I pieced together my patterned paper from scraps I still had on my desk from my previous make. I never cut into a new sheet for this card.

I used a set from My Creative Time (Write On) for the sentiment. I created a "clipboard feel" by using a wood grain background stamp also from My Creative Time onto a piece of kraft card stock. I used a clip embellishment from Tim Holtz to clip together.

I rounded the corners and all is done!:)))
