Teacher's Apples

You might remember THIS post when I was doing my strawberry week.   Well, here is the card that I mentioned that was a similar layout but made with apples instead of strawberries. 

These apples are very easy to create.  Punch a circle of light yellow cardstock.  Sponge on a few colors of read being sure to leave the "hightlight" part.  Add a hand cut leaf and stem that are also sponged with the appropraite color! 

Truthfully, you could use any fruit or vegetable that you want: lemons, bunches of grapes, oranges, carrots, pears (sorry Susan!!), peaches ... just cut the shape to be appropraite and sponge appropriately!! 

The rest of the card is very straight forward.  The letters are from Trajan Monogram Set (Papertrey Ink) and the sentiment is from Limitless Labels (Papertrey Ink).

Thanks for dropping in.

Home-Made Strawberry Embellishments

Hey everyone. I told you I was on a bit of a strawberry kick!! This is Day 2 of my Strawberry Inspiration week. Make sure you check out yesterday's strawberry post too!!

These strawberries are home-made and easy to do!! You simply punch out a 1" circle (or whatever size you want or need) of pink cardstock. Then, trim out the sides to make the shape of a strawberry. Then simply sponge on red ink making sure to leave a hightlight of the pink where you want it. Finally, I used some yellow puffy t-shirt paint to make my seeds. Add some hand-cut green hulls that are also sponged and you get a strawberry!

The card is pretty straight forward. Any questions, just ask!!

Supplies: Stamps - sentiment is from Green Thumb (Papertrey Ink).

You will be seeing a similar card to this soon (after Strawberry Inspiration week is over), except I`ve used apples intead of strawberries!! Stay tuned!! See you tomorrow with yet another strawberry card!!

Teacher Cards

This card was totally inspired and cased from Alli Miles' card that you can see HERE. If you haven't visited Alli's blog, you definately should poke around there for a while. She is an amazing card maker!!

One big difference is that I don't own a great apple stamp like hers so I had to make my apples. To make these apples, I cut a 1 1/4" circle out of So Saffron cardstock. Then I used my scissors to cut a slight dent in the top. I used a sponge dauber to rub on Ruby Red ink leaving some of the yellow showing through for the apple's highlight. The stem and leaves are also hand cut. The letters are stamped with versamark and embossed with white embossing powder!!

To the card, I added some apple soap and an apple shaped note pad for an end of year thank you gift! I hope the teachers liked it!!

Supplies: Cardstock-Kraft, Basic Black, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi (all Stampin' Up!),lined designer paper (unknown); Ink-Ruby Red, Basic Black, Versamark (all Stampin' Up!); Stamps-Trajan Monogram Ed, Limitless Labels (both Papertrey Ink); Other: white embossing powder, sponge dauber.

Thanks for visiting.
