Teacher Appreciation

 Good Morning! Mollie is getting ready to go back to school next week. summer has passed so quickly and we now have an 8th Grader!

I love to send teachers little cards of thanks throughout the year not just on teacher app reaction day. Maker Forte have some great sets for this so I have made a head start.

I have made a short video explaining the process I used. which you can view here: 

I hope you enjoyed the video and it gave you inspiration for teacher cards. Below is a list of products I have used:

Good morning, Sorry I've been a bit absent lately, life has just been getting in the way and my mojo had flown away but I think today's card may have brought it back.

The new moodboard challenge starts over at SumMore Fun today and the theme is so pretty, you can check it out at the bottom of my post 👇

Onto my card, I have used a Raisin Boat stamp set - Imagine:

I stamped the larger image in the set with 2 different shades of blue. Then the sentiment images were stamped on top of this. I inked the edges of my card to take away the stark white.

The butterflies were die cut using a blue pearlescent acetate, I lifted the wings and adhered them onto the card. I added some silver gems as trails from each individual butterfly.

My topper was matted onto some color coordinating card and a white card base.

Flower Box

Good morning, well the snow has vanished again over the weekend and the temperatures are reaching above freezing through the day - who knows for how long though!

Today I'm taking over the SumMore Fun blog and my card is a folding flower box creating using 2 SumMore Fun stamp sets:

I made up a card box and decorated this with pretty pink, white and turquoise papers. I then used the Curly Cute Stamp set to stamp out a number of flowers and framed flowers in the same colors. The frames were cut out and placed around each side of the box. I fussy cut the single flowers and glued these to strips of acetate and attached them at different heights inside the box.

I then stamped the frame again and added a sentiment from the Brush Floral stamp set into the center of this. Again this was cut out and added to the back of the box:

The box is made in such away that it will fold and fit inside a 6x6in envelope.

The colors look darker if the photos but they are perfect for the moodboard challenge over on the blog:
