Teacher Cards and Gifts

Good morning all, I hope you are having a good start to the week. For us last Friday saw the end of the school year, so today's offering is the cards and gifts that I made for mine and Jude's granddaughter's teachers. 

I used some files from my Silhouette software and changed them into fully black shapes, instead of cut-out images. Then I printed them on the laser printer and then coloured them with foil using the Minc machine.

I cut them out with small square or rectangle dies and then added them with foam tape to small handmade card blanks.

Then I printed personalised labels with the Brother labelmaker and added them to each card.

Luckily I only had seven to make so they didn't take too long lol.

Then I made each of the lady teachers an angel keyring, on one side of the heart it had this quote, and then it was personalised with the teachers name on the other side.

For the male teachers I went with a round wooden keyring, again with a quote on one side and their names on the other side. I used Safmat to print the text on and then cut them to fit the shape with round or heart punches. Then I sealed them all with several coats of lacquer and glitter.

Hope you like them, the teachers did! Take care and I'll see you soon.

Family

Good morning all, hope you had a good weekend.

Today's card is another Mother's day one, this time it's the one I made for my granddaughter's to give to their mummy. 

I tried to replicate their little family with two girls and two dogs. So I used an old stamp for the 2 little girls and then part of the Lawn Fawn, Critters at the dog park set for the dogs. 

I stamped the girls with brown ink on to Kraft paper and then heat embossed them with fine detail embossing powder. Then I watercoloured the images with Distress Inks.

I stamped the dogs on to some light brown card and cut them out with the matching dies. Just colouring their noses and leaving the rest plain.

I used papers from our What A Hoot pad by Trimcraft and backed it with a mid pink card. 

I used some dies from the MFT Dynamics range for the stitched panel and bow and then added lace and ribbon from the stash.

I found some coordinating flowers and grouped them in the bottom corner, then added a few flat backs to the ribbon.

I finished it off with a sentiment from the Crafters Companion, Sentimentals Greetings - Female set stamped in Pink Archival ink.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
