Apple for Teacher

Apple for Teacher

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

As usual, I started by die cutting my base panels,

Attached the two bottom panels together,

Added an acetate window and double layer of foam tape.

I am only making the big window a shaker.

I added another piece of acetate to the back. . .

It makes it much easier to place your shaker when it is already sealed up

Then I placed the shaker on the base panel.

I stamped, colored and cut my images.

I am leaving the fronl blank because I do not know if I will

 use this card for new teacher, teach appreciation or end of year. 

I can always attach a sentiment to the front or just put it all on the inside!

I added some more sequins to the front and love how this turned out!

For this card I used the Apple for Teacher blend.

This is one of my favorite blends!

I love the primary color mix!

Pineapple Garden - Happy Birthday

 Happy Birthday

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I used the Aloha stamp set from Lawn Fawn and 

this dark pink gingham paper.

I cut the base panel at 5.25 x 4 so I would have a 

white border on the card.

I decided to ad another layer to the card so 

I cut a top panel and stamped directly on it. 

I colored my pineapple with copic markers.

Then I used Lawn Fawn reverse stitched scallop 

circle window die to cut the shaker window.

I added a double layer of foam tape and laid out my sequins.

I added sequins to the top panel.

For this card I used the Pineapple Garden Sparkle Blend.

I think it is a great blend of summer colors and 

worked so great on this card!!

Have A Hoppy Birthday!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I started with die cutting my base panels and my shaker frame

I die cut some grass and use a masking technique to great my little frog on a log.

OMG!!! He is sooooo Cute!!!

I added the panel to my card base.

I used a double layer of foam tape on my balloon frame. 

I die cut the balloon string from black paper.

So pretty!

I die cut a banner and stamped the sentiment in black ink.

I just love this guy soo much!!!

Scootin' By To Say. . .

 Scootin' By To Say. . . 

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I started with die cutting my top panel and stamping the sentiment.

I stamped these images from Lawn Fawn Scootin' By stamp set.

I colored them with copic markers and die cut them out.

I assembled my images on the card front,

I used winks of Stella on the dirt cloud and balloons, 

and a black glaze pen on the wheels.

I used foam tape and closed in my sequins with a second layer of acetate.

I chose a pink speckled background for the shaker window.

Then I added sequins to the front to finish the card. 

I used the new Sparkle stick to place these sequins. 

That stick is amazing!!

I usually use tweezers and end up with sequins flying all over my desk!

This stick made them so easy to pick up and and released great also!!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

For this card I used the Subtle Rainbow Sparkle Blend 

that will be part of the June release, Available on June 4th.

It really is a great subtle rainbow mix and I love the little rainbows!

Poppin' Up To Say. . .

 Poppin' Up To Say. . . 

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

For this card I used a shaker card kit from Queen and Co.

It included the card, foam spacer, acetate sheet and a cover cut out.

I placed a base panel on my card so my shaker 

windows would have a colored background.

I placed the foam piece so I could figure out where to stamp my sentiments. .  .

Perfectly lined up after one re-do!

Then I removed the backing paper and 

attached the foam piece to the card.

I added the sequins. 

I glued a few sequins to the background 

so that they would always show in the window. 

Then I placed the top panel onto the card. 

This was a great kit to use, it lined up very easily.

I pulled these images from my pre-stamped stash

and colored them to go with my sequins.

I put a slit in the toaster so my pastry 

looks like it is poppin' out.

Then I added sequins to the 

front to finish the card.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

For this card I used the Wonderland Sparkle Blend

I picked out the wonderland themed 

pieces so I could make a 

non-wonderland card. 

Now I have lots of extra elements for when 

I use the blend on a themed card!
