Well we are just about at the end of the school year here, so you know what that means-teacher cards and gifts. For my son's class several of the parents contributed to a group gift so I of course volunteered to make the card:)
Oh, I am so going to miss the Celebrations Designer Series Paper and the Spiral Border Punch when it retires on June 30th. To check out a full list of retiring accessories be sure to Download Retiring Accessories 2011 updated June24. If an item sells out before June 30th it will not be made available again, so please let me know if there is anything you would like to order from the list.
I started with a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2" card base in Real Red. Next I layered on Basic Black and Celebrations DSP. I also place a strip of Wild Wasabi DSP from the Subtles Pattern Paper Stack. I really wanted to play around with the Cork Sheets, so I decided to create a Bulletin Board. I thought that would be kind of "teacher-ish":) I have no "teacher" stamps per say so I had to improvise,lol. To create the board I took a piece of Cork measuring 3 x 4, then cut 1/4" strips of Crumb Cake Card stock that I stamped with the Woodgrain Background and sponged with Whisper White Craft Ink. For the note I used a piece of DSP that will be available on July 1st, called Just Add Cake and made it look like a page from a notebook by using the Spriral Border Punch. The sentiment is from the Hostess set Apple Blossoms and so is the cute little apple. To finish it all of I just had to add a Mini Library Clip and some White Bakers Twine. I actually also created a pocket inside to hold some gift cards, but of course I for got to take a picture of that!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Apple Blossoms, Woodgrain Background
Ink: Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Whisper White Craft and Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Real Red Markers
Accessories: 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 Circle Punches, Spiral Border Punch, Basic Black Brads, Mini Library Clips and White Bakers Twine
Oh my gosh, how clever is this!!! I love it!

very cute, I am sure the teachers will miss you and be very sad when your kids move up a level meaning that you won't be helping with their gifts next year!
