Teacher Appreciation Card

Hey Deer Friends,

         I hope you had a great week!! I spent this morning with my Mom and Sister in Law yard selling. It's always fun to go to yard sales and find treasures for cheaper prices. And crafty treasures are my favorite. Yesterday, I got a scrapbook paper rack for $20. It's got 30 slots to put all the paper in. I'm super excited about it!!! I need to do some rearranging before I can actually put it in my room though. I also got some brand new school themed washi tape and some black and white twine for 50 cents each.

Tonight, I want to show you the last Teacher Appreciation Card I made for my other nieces teacher.  I used a combination of two files from Kadoodle Bug Designs for this card: Cutie Katoodles Smarty Owl and Color Me Cute.

Like the previous card, I let my niece look through the Kadoodle Bug Designs School files. She picked out the Color Me Cute Bear with the Crayon. I wanted the card to have a little something more so I added the book and the bookworm.

Below is a complete list of supplies and materials used to complete this project:

Bookworm Thank You Card

Hey Deer Friends,

         I hope you had a great week!! Today was my nieces last day of school.  She's sort of emotional because next year she will be going to another school district and she's only been to this school. She's got lots of friends here, so she's taking it hard. So, the other day I showed the first teacher appreciation card I made for one of my nieces teachers. Today, I'm going to show you another card for another teacher in her classroom.  Every year, I make Teacher Appreciation cards for my nieces teachers.f I used the School Day Bookworms file from Kadoodle Bug Designs to create this card.

Like the previous card, I let my niece look through the Kadoodle Bug Designs School files. This time she wanted the bookworm holding the pencil. I also switched it up and made this one a round card instead of square.

Bookworm Teacher Card

Hey Deer Friends,

         I hope today has been a great day for you!! Every year, I make Teacher Appreciation cards for my nieces teachers. One of my nieces finished preschool yesterday and the other finishes school on Friday. So, I have a few cards I've got to work on for the teachers, so stay tuned for more cards. I used the School Day Bookworms file from Kadoodle Bug Designs to create this card.

So I let my niece look through the Kadoodle Bug Designs School files and she wanted the worm coming out of the apple. She thought it looked cute and so did I. Instead of doing the bow at the neck, I made the bow on top of the worm so it looked like a hair bow. I really liked the sentiment too because it looked kind of like child's writing.

Below is a complete list of supplies and materials used to complete this project:

Horse Thank You Card

Good Morning Crafters,

I hope you are having a fantastic Monday so far!! : ) This morning I'm going to share a super cute card I made for my sister and Brother in Law. I used the  Christmas Ponies file to create this card. Hurry on over to Kadoodle Bug Designs website if you love this file because it is Retiring soon.

So, last week I went on vacation to Branson Missouri with my Sister, her family and in laws. While we were there, we went and saw Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede. It was our first time ever going to the Dixie Stampede, it was fun and entertaining. My niece Hailey was so excited to go because she just loves horses. She was going around telling the people working there that Dolly Parton was one of her favorite country singers. I had to giggle to myself because I'm positive she doesn't know any Dolly Parton songs. I could be wrong. I wanted to make a thank you card for my Sister and Brother in Law for taking me there with them. So I decided to make them a card with horses and thought this was the perfect file for what I wanted.

To make this project I used the steps below:

• The green base was cut at 5.79 x 5.79
• The brown base was cut at 5.48 x 5.48
• The cream base was cut at 5.19 x 5.19
• I water colored the background so it looked like they were outside.
• Then cut out and stamped some light brown pieces with a woodgrain stamp to give it an authentic wood look. The bottom wood strips were cut using the same Christmas Ponies file, I just made the pieces different sizes.
• Then I pieced it all together to look like a barn stall.
• And I cut out an arch in the same shade. Then stamped and inked it like the bottom part.
• The brown horse was cut at 2.48 x 2.11
• The pale horse  was cut at 2.28 X 3.33
• The flowers and the Thanks sentiment were cut using some files in my Cricut Design Space.
