You Rock Teacher!!

Posted in August 2014, Back to School, Blog Challenge, Simon Says Stamp Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog Challenge and Word Art Wednesday.

The theme is my favorite!! It’s Back To School! Yayyyyy! If you’ve been following my blog you know how I feel about new paper, pens, pencils, notebooks and crayons. I love the smell of new school supplies. I get excited when my daughter gets her list from school. We are one of the first people in the store. I end up buying way to many supplies, LOL.

The card I made is for all of the teachers in the world. Teachers have the hardest job in the world to me. They deal with little people all day and those little people have different personalities. Can you imagine all of them talking at the same time, lol!! Oh no!!

On a serious note, they are responsible for preparing our children for life. They teach them all of the fundamentals they will need to be great people in this world. That is a big job. With that said, I like to let my children’s teacher know they are appreciated.

Take a look at my card:

I just love how this card came out. The embossing looks so good against my favorite color cardstock, Audrey Blue. I also used Simon Says Stamp Teacher’s Pet New Release for this card.

Here is how I created this card:

1. My card base measures 4.25 x 5.50 scored at 5.50 is Simon Says Stamp Audrey Blue cardstock!! So pretty to me. My card panel measures 4 x 5.25 and its Neenah Solar White cardstock.

2. I used Simon Says Stamp Scrambled Letters Stencil and Wendy Vecchi White Embossing Paste to create my background on my card panel.

3. Then I used Simon Says Stamp Lunch Box Notes Craft Die to cut my frame out of Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Delight cardstock, the stars out of Stampin’ Up! Real Red cardstock and the small window out of Simon Says Audrey Blue cardstock.

4. I used Simon Says Stamp Teacher Craft Dies to cut the word teacher out of Stampin’ Up! Real Red cardstock.

5. Now its time to put my card together. I stamped “You Rock!” from Simon Says Stamp Lunch Box Stamp Set with Versamark Ink and then embossed it with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder.

6. I attach the square piece to the frame and two of the stars to the embossed panel using foam adhesive. I attached the teacher die and one of the stars with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.

7. For the finishing touch, I added a Clear Wink of Stella to the stars and the die cut teacher.

Nicely done! What do you think? Let me know.

By the way, this card was made for my Blogging and Instagram friend Malini from My Little Pink Craft Kitchen. She is a school teacher and I wanted to show her my appreciation. Enjoy!!

Hello everyone! I’m here with a2z Scrapbooking today. Our month long challenge is still going strong. The theme is Encouragement!

We are in that back to school season, which I love, as you already know. My daughter has a male teacher this year for the first time so I need to stock up on cards and projects for him since I hardly make masculine things. Big change for me.

All of us need encouragement from time to time and teachers are no different. They have such a difficult job everyday. Image 25 little people all with different personalities. Now imagine them all talking at once. OMG!! I hear headache coming on fast.

So to keep my daughters teacher motivated, I created this card:

Posted in August 2014, Back to School, Blog Challenge, DoubleClick Blog Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today with the DoubleClick Skittles Back to School Challenge!! This will be so much fun!

I love back to school. I love new paper, pencils, pens, notebook, glue, OMG I love everything.

This is our second challenge and I wanted to say to everyone who participate in the first, Thank You so much.

This challenge runs for two weeks. This is the second of the two. So, you have one week before the challenge ends.

Now on to my card for this challenge:

My daughter has her first male teacher this year so I wanted to make sure my projects were male centered. This is challenging to me since I’m so use to making cute girly things, lol.

Want to know how to make this card, well here’s how you do it:

1. I cut my card stock so that is measures an A2 size card (4-1/4 x 5-1/2 scored at 5-1/2).

2. I used my Big Shot and Stampin’ Up! Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create the the texture on the front of my card.

3. I used my Project Life Lined Journaling Cards for the first time ever, LOL. I love these little cards. (I have no idea what my resistance was but its over.) I divert!

4. I stamped my crayon, glue, paintbrush and ink from the Sweet Stamp Shop Artsy Fartsy Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

5. I used my Copic Marker #G07, YR16, V17, B14, R27, G28, Y19, Y13, B12 to color in all of my images. (I’m so happy about that. I’m trying to practice my coloring.)

6. I stamped my sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Hey Teacher Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

7. I added color to my apple using my Copic markers.

8. I adhered my journal card to my card base using foam adhesive.

9. I added Wink of Stella to some of the embossed letters and numbers on my card base.

10. To really make my card pop, I added my Pumpkin Skittles to the four corners.

Here’s a close-up:

So what do you think? Now its your turn to play along with our challenge. The challenge ends on August 19th. The winner will be announced on August 23rd.

The winner will receive The New Summer 2014 Skittle Release!
