These are the cards for the kids teachers. Madison will bake cookies for her teacher tomorrow and Christian wants to give his teacher a Hershey bar. There is a little poem inside... Thank you for teaching me my lessons, And helping me to grow, This card is just for you, You’re the best teacher I know!
In the mood to play with my cricut... and the product of my creativity... I think I used the Stampin' Solutions, Going places, and Plantin cartridges. The paper was a combination of cardstock and a freebie paper pack with my last Stampin' Up purchase, I think it was called welcome to the neighborhood.
Card #1...
Card #2... This one was made with my friend Courtney in mind... She loves owls...
Dustin Pike put up some new freebies to download! He wanted to thank his 1000 followers... visit his blog here and become a follower too! The 1000 followers freebie set included a cute little bear with wings leaning over a sign... as soon as I saw this picture I thought of a military wife, thus inspiring my most recent card. I think I will use this card in the Let's Get Cookie Recipe On DDS Challenge Blog Recipe = DDS Image, 3 Designer Papers, Ribbon, and Bling... And here is the finished project...
I had a chance to play with my new favorite crafting tools also... my embossing items. I got the versamarker pen out and used it to color in the wings and then added the kaleidoscope embossing powder. I love the Embossing Heat Tool which I got for only a couple bucks using a 40% off coupon at JoAnns.
Inside the card is the Military Spouse's Prayer...
Lord, Give me the strenth of heart to see, The difference in duty and his love for me, Give me the understanding to know, that when duty calls, he must go, give me the patience to know in my heart, that he is serving his country and doing his part, Give me the strength to carry on, when he's working late or must be gone, Give me a task to do each day, to fill the time while he is away, Give me others who can share, the ups and downs and who'll really care, Give me the wisdom to get me through, And Lord, while our family is here, Keep us healthy, safe and ful of cheer.
So the original idea for this card came from Dawn's Stampin' Thoughts. However, I changed it up a bit and got to play around with some new things. I used embossing powder for the first time today. I love the stuff! Both stamps are done with a glittery pink embossing powder. Since I don't have the link to the exact website ... Base is 8*4, scored landscape 2 and 4, front is 4*4 glued onto the 2 inch piece. I also tried this with a smaller front and it turned out really cute!
Made these cute little Easter cards with a free digi stamp from Dustin Pike! (http://dustinpike.blogspot.com/) used an embossing folder and some ribbon to accent this cute little guy. Well, Madison and I have to go to the dentist today, so off we go... I love the dentist! :)
