Teacher Cards

If you read my blog....you would think I am crazy about Valentine's Day!  Actually the opposite is true, I have really never been crazy about the holiday but for my kiddos I usually try to go all out:)  Brett who is in 5th grade, is not crazy about giving his teacher a gift this year...I am sure I will be dropping that one off..but Andy is super pumped!  The gift I have not gotten together yet but that is the easy part...we had to get the card together first.  These are very similar to the Christmas cards I made for both teachers. 

I started out by cutting the layers for the cards.  I LOVE this size of card....I have created this card for so many things...birthday cards, invitations, and thank you notes.  It is a fun size, doesn't take much paper, and can be used later as a magnet or placed on a memo board.  The card is cut at 4x4, the second layer is 3x3, the third is 2 1/1x 2 1/2, and the fourth is 1x1. 

 The above picture does not show the first layer of paper...the base layer is pink.  The second layer I have stamped around the edges with pink.  Each piece of paper I sand paper across at least once and distressed the edges with tea stain distress stamp.   Next I used a printed piece of paper and attached with double sided sticky tape.  On the one inch square I used a Creative Memories stamp from my collection.  At the bottom I half-stamped the paper with another stamp from the collection, on the one inch square, I distressed the edge with pink instead.  Spray glitter was used on the entire card after it was taped together.

 I will print out something for the back of the card and of course will use a font from my favorite place Kevin and Amanda.  They have the best fonts on the web, so check them out!!!

Thanks for stopping by:)
