Teacher Gift

Hello stampin' friends,

Thank you for stopping by! I have a teacher gift to share with you today.  I just love making them!  I brings me right back to basics with bright colours and the timeless chalkboard technique.  

My youngest had a super special teacher this year!  He was wonderful and really great for kids who love sports!  He showed my son how you can be good at sports and be smart too - don't stay in a stereo type.  And even through all of the distant learning that happened this year, my youngest has said this is the best teacher he has every had.

Global Design Project has a super fun sketch to follow along with this week and so I want to play along.  Here is their sketch...


Here is the card I made for Mr. B.!

I just love how it turned out.  I used the Harvest Hellos stampset and the Apple Builder Punch to create these apples in Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Granny Apple Green.  I used the same colour ink onto each colour of cardstock.  The little leaves were stamped in Old Olive onto Old Olive Cardstock. 

I used Versa-mark Ink, White Embossing Powder and my heat tool to add the sentiment and the squiggles up the side.  I also sponged the edge of the black card stock with White Craft Ink to create the chalkboard look.  

The tag I made for the gift bag created by using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch and the Banner Triple Punch.  I couldn't resist using the retired Large Letters Dies to make sure he knew it was for him.  LOL

One more apple at the bottom.  

What is inside?  This beautiful handmade mug by a local potter Leishman Pottery.  They make such beautiful handcrafted pottery.  

And some candies of course.  

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy Stampin'

Just Add Ink for a Teacher Thank you!

Hello there,

I hope your week is off to a really great start! 

This week I am busy making teacher thank you gifts and cards for my kids to take to school with them - the count down is on and they are just SO exctied to be finished school!

I stopped on over to Just Add Ink for some inspiration and what did I see...

Just Add Ink #267....Just Add Typography!

I am sure everyone is having the same thought....what does that mean?  So they also gave us the definition:

"Using font or type to create print"

So, I had a great idea.  Use the paper from the new lightweight DSP paper pack.  One of the sheets has big bold numbers on it and the colour scheme is Basic Black and Very Vanilla - perfect for my two older son's who have male teachers!  

Here is my card...

  

I wanted to use up some of my Chalkboard paper that has recently retired (sniff, sniff) a great option for a teacher card, don't  you think?

 I wanted to coordinate the gift bag so I used some of this great DSP to cover the side of a paper gift bag.  Inside, I added some treats with handmade tag.

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy stampin'
