Teachers Rule

 

CAS919 - World Teachers Day

For this card, I was delighted to see a school themed challenge because with three teachers in the family and a school bus driver, these designs are always useful and appreciated. I pulled out a fantastic retired Stampendous set and stamped three of the images on white cardstock, then trimmed the panel and added a bright yellow highlight layer to make the scene stand out.

While going through my tote of items to use up, I found an old ruler piece that fit the theme perfectly and added just the right touch of interest. I placed it on a black card base, then popped the stamped panel up on dimensionals to give the layout a bit more lift and presence.

To finish the card, I added a scattering of yellow gems for a cheerful pop of color.

Thank you for stopping by to see my card today. Your thoughtful comments are always appreciated. If you leave a note, a visit to your blog will follow.

A+ Teacher

For the IC590 challenge - inspired by Audrie's first "Inspiration" Board on Pinterest. Wowza lots of amazing things to choose from for inspiration. I found these Cookies. I need to get cards started for teachers as my little guy will pass them out at the end of the year and my sister will need them for her school.

This die cut set is from Frantic Stamper. The first card I due cut out the white and layered it over the red using the negative space. Die cut the stem and leaf and sponged the edges then layered the A+ Teacher over the apple.

Then used the white die cut apple I sponged the edge in red and added the red highlight. Added sponged leaf and stem and layered A+ Teacher. I also added some punched music noted that sit on my desk. My son is in the band and loves playing so we have to do a card for that teacher as that is his favorite teacher.

I would love it if you would check out my Blog: Shoe Girls Cards.

Off to check out the Indianapolis Rubber Stamp & Paper Arts Festival. If you are there today, I will be there. You will see me with a shoe bag. So if you see me, say, Say Hello. :)
