Many of us are approaching the end of another school year. And that means a host of graduation parties, awards dinners and backyard cookouts. This time of year, has such a wonderful feeling of possibilities! I am proud to share a couple of cards designed to celebrate a favorite school teacher and Sunday School Teacher. Here is the first project showcasing Our Daily Bread Designs' Class Act stamp set, Notebook Paper Stamp Die Duo, Clipboard Set Dies and A+ Apples Die.
I started with a rich navy card stock and used ODBD's Side Step Card Die to create my base. I trimmed patterned paper a bit smaller for each section from the Americana Quilt Paper Collection. I stamped the sentiment (ODBD's Class Act) with a coordinating navy die on white card stock before framing with the Pierced Ovals Die and Ovals Die. I stamped the book image on Neenah Solar Crest with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored the image and fussy cut them before adding the to the card. I added a few die cut props from the Notebook Paper Stamp Die Duo, Clipboard Set Dies and A+ Apples Die. I even added a bit of baker's twine (looped around the clipboard) to the faux whistle. It looks like coach just left it there for a minute... Here's a side view of the card...
Not to be outdone, I needed a little something, something for a fellow Sunday School teacher. So I pulled out the new Sunday School Teacher stamp set and coordinating Crosses Die.
So I chose papers from the Whimsical Wildflowers Collection and Plum Pizzazz Paper Pad. I stamped the image with a soft plum ink on white card stock before using a coordinating die to cut it. (Sunday School Teacher , Crosses Die) I added a base layer of white card stocking using the Lattice Background Die. I also used the Circles Die and coordinating Pierced Circle Dies to frame the cross. I also used Pennant Flags Die to frame the sentiment panel and coordinating Double Stitched Pennant Flags Die to frame it along with the faux banners. I double up on the banners behind the cross to make them longer, hiding the seam with the circle dies.
So here are the new items you see today...
