Teachers Day Cards

Good Morning!

A very happy happy teachers day to all you crafty mommies! After all we are the first teahcers to are kids :-). Thank you all for the appreciation for the teachers day cards I posted here. Well  I had saved my fav collection to share today. CAS is not my style at all & it was rather hard for me to complete all these without distress inks & blooms! Made best use of two paper stacks from DCWV - Education pack & Grade school.

So here goes -

The next two cards are almost same. Note how a slight variation in the size of the layers gives a different look. I have been wanting to use a mason jar on a card for long. The school supplies in the vellum jar are stamped & fussy cut. The scale is a washi tape. I love the bright colors & patterns in the apples here.

In the next one the sentiment was built using a combo of different stamp sets & says it all.

Now won't every chemistry teacher love this! A while back I had seen something like this on pinterest & so wanted to use it on a card. The pattern paper is just perfect for this too!

And finally how about this to delight a geography teacher? The map, the planets...................purrrrrrrfect!!

How I wish I can go back to school either as a student to proudly had over these to my favorite teachers or as a teacher to receive these, what say?After this marathon session of CAS cards & loads of use of pattern paper I must confess that I now am a little comfortable running the scissors through my designer papers.................not to mention that I save the tiniest leftover piece!

Cards for Teachers

Good Morning!

Sharing a couple of cards I made for my daughters' teachers(in India September 5th is celebrated as Teachers Day).  You can view the cards & post it holders I made for them last year here, here & here.

Unlike the ones I made then, this time I decided to play around with some school theme pattern papers & go CAS. This is not my style & will eagerly wait for your feedback friends :-).

In all the below cards I used papers from the DCWV education stack. This is such an apt collection for teachers cards. The busy designs do all the work ;-).

Most of the sentiments are from the Teacher's Pet stamp set from Clearly Besotted.

The next is a very cute one & I think this is my first at using an animal stamp (Itsy Bitsy) on a card.  This is totally inspired by my dear friend Neha Bhatt! Hope she likes it. Stamped & popped the red sheep to make it special!

The minute I saw this cute inpiration pic at Inkspirational #52 I knew I had to ink that stamp.
