Thanks Teacher by Jenny Alia

Hi, it's Jenny here today! I'm happy to be sharing a thank you card I created for my daughter's teachers. Once I found the cute design paper in my stash and matched colors, this card was a snap to make. I ended up making a few and they all came out slightly differently but I liked the colors on this one best and my daughter insisted we add the worm to her reading teacher's card.

I cut the apple and backed it with white paper. On this one I actually glued in the letters after but for a similar look and a faster card gluing another paper underneath gives a similar effect. I double layered the ABC as well. Much like the card I created in my last post I only used three dies. The apple was adhered with foam tape for dimension.

Best Teacher with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

It's Jenny posting with a card that could be a quick and simple thank you for teacher appreciation day. I'm a class mom this year for my son's teacher and sometimes I find it difficult to put together teacher cards. This apple makes such a wonderful focal point on a card and it would be great on a tag or gift bag too.

I began by layering a white piece of cardstock about A2 size on top of a red card base. Then I cut the Royal Scandinavian Boutique Stacker A2 Frame out of Kraft paper and popped it up using a dimensional foam adhesive. I glued the design paper to the top. Then I added the Royal Scandinavian Doily Circle also cut out of kraft paper. The Best Teacher Ever apple was colored with distress ink and I paper pieced in the white words after gluing a backing to the apple. I colored the little worm with distress ink too.

I love the way these doilies can turn a relatively simple card into a project that doesn't look it at all.

Best Teacher Ever with Corina Finley

Hello Crafters!

I hope every one checked out the New Release over on the Cheery Lynn Designs Website! There is an assortment of great new dies for you to create with.

My card for today's post features a New Release die set called the Best Teacher Ever. It comes as a set of 2 - the apple which has the Best Teacher Ever cut from it and the little cute Worm!

Here is a close up of the Apple. I cut it from white cardstock and inked with Distress Ink. I layered it on top of black cardstock and used clear embellish liquid over the words to give a glossy look. I also added a touch of glitter. For the leaf & stem, I used Distress Inks also and added Glossy Accents.

While I was colouring (inking) the worm, my son was calling him Fred! So for Fred the Worm, I cut him from white cardstock, inked with Distress inks and used a glitter pen over. I added a small piece of white cardstock behind his eyes and used a black glaze pen for his eyes.

My flowers are created from the Sweet Christine, and the Sweet Williams Strip. I added the leaves from the Tea Rose Medium die and three from the Rose Leaf Strip.
