Hello friends,
Today, the Card Maker Magazine Blog Gals are teaming up with the Lil' Inker Design Team for a fun blog hop featuring loads of inspiration using Lil' Inker Designs awesome stamps and ingenious dies. You should have arrived here from Chrissy Larson's blog. The full list will be available on the CardMaker blog in case you need to catch a link or start from the beginning. :)
Teacher Appreciation day falls this year on May 2 and I am determined not to be scrambling the night before on cards and gifts. My daughter's teachers deserve better! So for my project, I chose to work with Teacher Talk stamp set, the Teacher word die, and the Stitched Mats Rectangle dies.
I stamped the apple images onto a panel of white card stock in shades of red, pink, yellow and green and added in details like seeds, hearts and words with black ink. Once the stamping was complete, I die cut the panel with the largest Stitched Mat rectangle die. The stitched mat adds so much interest to the simple rectangle shape, and I love that Lil' Inker was the first to offer this innovative design.
I die cut "teacher" from bright pink card stock and stamped the sentiment just below the die cut word onto a rectangle which was die cut with one of the smaller Stitched Rectangles Mats dies.
I added just a few clear sequins to the card and I'm going to call this one complete! I'll make a few more of these and I will be all set for Teacher Appreciation Day!
