Thank You

Today’s Paper Pretties challenge is Fab Fav. Make a card using your favorite Paper Pretties set. Do you know how hard that is? Picking your favorite set? I love all the Paper Pretties sets so I just closed my eyes and picked!

I used Thank You Teacher Sophia and colored her with copics. Then using some kiddie themed design paper, set about making my card. Cut the sentiment apart so I could layer it. Card is taller than usual but still 4 1/4 wide.

How to Enter: If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project using the above challenge and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword PWC259.

Don’t forget to include a link to your card on the Paper Pretties Blog, so everyone can see it too. You don’t have to use Paper Pretties stamps to play, but of course if you have them we would love to see you use them. One random participant will receive a Paper Pretties Stamps set … see the Paper Pretties Blog for more details.

Masculine Birthday Card

Before we get to my cards, I just wanted to let you know that if you hoover over the pictures, you can now pin them if you wish!

Have a masculine card for you today using JFF stamps. Masculine cards are hard to come up with sometimes but with  Watches and Pens, I created a card that is guy worthy.

Stamped the watches in different colors and used the corresponding cardstocks for layering. I didn’t add a sentiment to the outside which then makes the card for any occasion.

So last week I had to post over at the JFF blog but didn’t share my card here. I used stamps from the Spring 2013 release. How great to do nothing... is the sentiment I used. For my main image I used Hammock in Palms. Colored image with copics. Stamped the image again so I could color and cutout just the Palms. Attached them with glue dots to give it more of a 3-D look.

Congratulations

Paper Pretties challenge this week is Graduation cards. Something I need tons of this year. So here is the start of my cards.

I used Graduation Zac for my card. Colored him with prismacolor pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits. Used white gel pen on his shoes, gown and tassel. Stamped sentiment at bottom. I used Basic Grey papers for my card.

Day 5 - ad-“mitt”

Today is the last day of Teacher Appreciation Week. Have to
ad-“mitt” you will like this one. I wondered around the Dollar Store finding items for this gift. (sad to ad-“mitt” that their mitts were so much cuter than Wal-Marts!)
The top three went to the Middle School for Teacher Appreciation Day but I couldn’t post them till now as my younger kids took them in today to their teachers. (and we didn’t want to spoil it for them, now did we?)

Isn’t this the cutest idea? Get an oven mitt and fill it with goodies. I filled them with pencils, pens, candies. The middle school ones got nail files and big chocolate bar while the elementary ones got glue sticks and lotion (since they got a big chocolate bar yesterday).

(hoover over a picture to pin it)


Used the Craft-Dee BowZ to make my bows.

This time around I didn’t make my own tags but used this Download. Feel free to use them.

Day 4 - You deserve…

Day 4 of Teacher Appreciation Week brings us fun little gifts that could work for anyone but for today it they are going to 1st and 4th grade teachers.

Take a chocolate bar (any flavor and any size, I used an X-Large Hershey’s Chocolate bar) and wrap them in design paper. Attach some ribbon how ever you would like and attach the saying. Isn’t this cute? I used the Craft-Dee BowZ maker of course to make the bows.

My teacher is AW-esome

Go here for my Paper Pretties post about a teacher card!

Today’s teacher appreciation gift is a little cheesy, I will admit it but still a hit with my kids. Only cause they got the leftovers!

Once again I made up the wording on the computer to my liking. Hard to tell here but I did cut the wording out with Spellbinders which I also did with the colored cardstock.

Attached tag and a small baggie of chocolates to the A&W with ribbon. Once  again I used the Craft-Dee BowZ maker for my multi looped bows.

Thank You, Teacher

Today’s Paper Pretties challenge is to use Colored Pencils! Talk about stepping back to the very beginning of stamping time. lol

So I pulled out my Prismacolor pencils (which I love) and colored away. Blended with odorless mineral spirits. Did add some white gel pen to the tennis shoes.

I used School Cooper in keeping with Teacher Appreciation Week goodies I am doing. Sentiment is from Thank You Teacher Sophia.
