You are the Best Teacher

The Teacher’s Pet line is such a fun set of papers, stamps, and ribbons. The primary colors are perfect for both cards and layouts. I started this card by cutting the notebook shaped paper using Graphically Speaking set at 7”. Then I adhered all my patterned paper pieces to my cardstock. I stamped the apple, then using scissors, cut around him. I printed “you are the” on my computer printer, then added the “best teacher” stamp. I placed this piece of cardstock into my Expression and cut the marquis shape around it using the Storybook cartridge and the Center Point function. I created the orange border in Design Studio using the Accent Essentials cartridge. I used the border set at 1”, then using the arrows in Design Studio, I shrunk it down to the size of scallop that I wanted. I created three of these borders, and welded them together to create one border the entire width of my card. The tag is from the Tags, Bags, and Boxes cartridge, and the flower is from PDDU. Any teacher would be thrilled to receive such a cute card from their student!

I’m Hoppy Your My Teacher

When I saw this hopscotch print paper, I knew exactly what I was going to do with it! The Locker Talk cartridge had a hopscotch cut to coordinate perfectly with the paper. I cut the hopscotch at 4 5/8”, using several different colors of cardstock to match the patterned paper. The greeting was printed on my computer, then cut out of the Storybook cartridge set at 2”, using the Center Point function. That fun little sun is on the Doodlecharms cartridge and is elevated with foam tape for dimension. I initially used plain cardstock behind the hopscotch die cut, but decided it needed a little extra “something”, so I ran it through my Cuttlebug with the houndstooth embossing folder. Then I added the ribbon around the front for a little more texture.
