Teacher Thank You Gift!

Hi Everyone! It's Monday! Hard to believe another weekend is behind us! I spent the weekend enjoying my family, how about you?

Since summer vacation will soon be upon us, I will be taking a break from Blogging 6 days a week. Don't worry, I will still be sending out new blog posts, only 3 days a week from July until September. I really need this time with my family, hope you all understand!

Don't forget, if you are interested in a ribbon share, please send me a message ASAP!

Okay, back to my card that I have for you today!

It's all about Thanking our wonderful teachers, they do such an amazing job with our kids.

I forgot to take a picture of the card and the treat bag all by it's self! Oops!

I know many of you are curious as to what we put inside that little treat bag...

An aromatherapy bracelet that we (my daughter and I) made ourselves! Super easy and fun too! 

There are black lava beads on the bracelet that you can put essential oils on. Great for when you are having a very stressful day, or when you need a little pick me up. You can put whatever essential oil you want on the lava beads.

Supplies for the card only, the treat bag is same as these but a little bit larger.

Paper:
Very Vanilla
Basic Black

Loving Dapper Denim!

Hi Everyone! We are in the final few weeks of school around here, then it's summer vacation! That also means it's time to thank the wonderful people who have taught/inspired and kept our kids safe over the school year. 

This one is for the school bus driver. Great guy, he puts up with a lot of kids twice a day!

He hinted the other day that some Chocolate Chip Cookies would be fabulous right about now! Which is great because I love to bake. 

I used the New InColour Dapper Denim. I promise that you will fall in love with this colour! I do hope they decide to keep this colour for a while.

As you can see I used absolutely no dimensionals! I know, from time to time that happens! This card just didn't need any at all.

I did stamp off the Dapper Denim and Crumb Cake once. I didn't want it full strength. (It is full strength for the sentiment).

Supplies:

Paper:

Crumb Cake

Dapper Denim

Whisper White

Inks:

Crumb Cake (stamped off)

Pedal Pusher!

Hi Everyone! I know I have said this before, but I just have to tell you again! I LOVE the stamp set Pedal Pusher! I know it's retired, but there is just something about it...

This card is 4" x 4 1/2". I wanted something small, but not too small. 

I LOVE how this turned out! This was my THIRD attempt! I know hard to believe, but it's true. 

The first one the clouds had an awful colour to them, like the stamp set wasn't cleaned and I didn't like the colours I choose for the bike.

The second one the greeting got smudge when I stamped it! Grrrr...!!!

This is the third one! 

I didn't want to stamp the bike again so I just cut it out from the second card. 

Can you see the shadow because the bike has Dimensionals?? I love that!

I stamped off the clouds with this card too. I wanted the bike to be the main focus.

Paper:
Whisper White 9' x 4"

Throwback Thursday!

Hi Everyone! Yep, it's that time of the week again! Throwback Thursday! 


It's called 'So Many Scallops'. 

I believe this set was a Sale-A-Bration many years ago.

I stamped the flowers then punched them out using the 1 3/4 scallop punch.

For the 2 flowers on the ends, I used only 1 dimensional. The middle one I used 2 on top of one another.

I loved how it turned it out! 

Here is what I used to make it.

Throwback Thursday!

Hi Everyone! It's Thursday again and you know what that means... I show you a card that I have made using a retired stamp set.

This one goes way back, I think to 2008, and it might have been a Sale-A-Bration freebie. 

So, not everything on my card is retired. I have used Timeless Elegance DSP (I guess you could say that it is retired!). 

I have embossed everything! The swirls, the sentiment, leaves, everything!! I also fussy cut the leaves and the flowers.

It would look great with our Brights DSP and embossed in black.

Supplies:

Paper:

Very Vanilla

Basic Black

Timeless Elegance DSP

Inks:

VersaMark

Stamps:

Friendship Blooms

Express Yourself

Accessories:

Black Embossing Powder

Heat Gun
