Teacher Cards - PART 3

PART 3

Today is the conclusion of this series of posts sharing with you the cards that Hunter and I made for his Prep teachers this year.. We put them all into a box and gave them to them for their Christmas Gift.. 

I went through a couple rolls of double sided tape and a roll and a half of 3D tape.. 

I used A4 white cardstock from the newsagent, only $12.99 for a 100 pack.. Much cheaper option and of course, white goes with anything.. lol.. 

Just over 1m of the white mesh ribbon & black twine,  some gesso & clear impasto, some washi, doilies, bling and flowers too..

All of these cards 60 cards (4x6 inch size) + 37 mini cards (2x3 inch size) + 19 tags  - were all made in only 3 days.. 😀

Teacher Cards - PART 1

My normal go to gift for teachers are a big A4 size per page diary thingy..

This year however, every teacher in the school was given one for World Teachers Day, so I didn't want to double up.. Instead this year Hunter and I chose to make cards especially for his two main teachers - Miss Page & Mrs Tucker..

We made over 60 cards (4x6 inch size) + 37 mini cards (2x3 inch size) + 19 tags.. 

I will share these with you in a 3 part series, as there are 21 photos to share all up.. 

So please make sure you come back tomorrow for the PART 2 or "like" my facebook page for when the blog posts go live..

Christmas Album - Teachers Gift

This year Hunter's class had to have a supply teacher for 3 days a week in the last term as his main teacher filled in an AP role when that teacher when on LSL.. Hunter is quite excited as he will actually have this teacher for her main teacher next year in Grade 1.. 😀 

Anyway, although he didn't have her for very long, he still wanted to make her some special.. 

Hunter and I agreed that she should have something different to his other teachers though.. So we made this 4x6 chipboard Christmas Album.. 

Using the Kaiser - Silver Bells collection, we the album and this quick card.. 

The cover of the album was covered and layered with the paper.. The middle has been diecut with the Big Shot.. The middle circle is being highlighted by some silver glitter behind it.. 

The bling is from Memory Maze..  Rings and BTP album from Kaiser.. and some silver ribbon from the dollar shop.. 

For the inside pages I really wanted to make sure I had the balance right for photos to be added and the embellishments... This page features a Memory Maze ATC chipboard piece with a diecut from the 6x6 paper pad, bling and mircobeads..

Here are some baulbles I fussy cut off a sheet from the 6x6 paper pad, then added the string pearls to give the effect of them hanging / dangling.. 

Here is the perfect opportunity for journaling.. 

Using the Memory Maze "Pebble" stencil, I added some clear impasto and glitter to make this fun texture.. 

Last inside page simply has some white mesh ribbon, string pearls and the sentiment saying.. This is the small strip that is cut off the bottom of the 12x12 sheet of pattern paper.. 

Last step was to add the diecut (again, from the 6x6 paper pad) and Hunter's name.. 

I decided not to paint any edges of the project until it was all put together.. I really LOVE the look of distressing and especially the Winter Wonderland feel, so this was perfect to achieve both effects.. 

The white gesso applied at the end, gave that snowy edges look... 

Thank you for dropping by today and allowing us to share this project with you.. I hope you may have got some inspiration from it for your own projects?!?

Butterfly card

Classic Elegance??? I do think so, even if I do say so myself.. :)

I used the other side of the torn piece of pattern paper to create a second card.. I have to admit, I kinda love it too!!

Timeless Clock

Timeless Clock

What could be more fitting to suit this clock project than the Timeless collection from Kaiser..
It also features loads of Memory Maze chipboard and some flowers for embellishments.
There is a step-by-step video of the process taken to create this project, it can be viewed HERE.
It has plenty of details of the products and techniques used.

I started off with a torn strip of pattern paper on top of another and stuck down the translucent sheet, this project is all about layering!!

Next was to colour all the chipboard - The cogs with ink for a distressed look, the clock with some grey paint and sprinkles of clear glitter, the wire is simply painted in a cream colour and the words too are simply painted with a Turquoise colour. 

Now the chippie layering begins -  the big cog down first, then the clock. Now the wire is cut into the correct shape and stuck down... Then the cream filler circle and the small cog on top.. 

Here are some close ups of the project.. Don't forget, to see the process of this creation and for more information on how I made this, on the products and techniques used - please drop by the video.. It can be viewed HERE..

Acetate front cards

Acetate fronted cards

Recently we had some special people having birthdays.. I have seen these Acetate cards on Pinterest but always thought they would be so complicated so have been putting off making them.. I finally had a go and WOW, I am so thankful that I did.. They are so simple, I can't believe it!! I will be making many more of these I do believe.. lol..

Although each of these cards have been made with the same technique, they are all very different, for very different people.. I can't wait to make some fun, bright, kids cards with this style!!
