Chistmas Card for Teacher

************************


Ooops, I'd forgotten Grandson had asked for a card for his teacher so I used this tag which was made to be just that - a tag for a challenge.

Once again a tall DL - got a pack of these so need to get using, LOL.
Free papers again from craft mag, edged with gold pen. The tag is one from a pair of jeans and is popped up with foam pads.

The tag is quite basic compared to some but it still took a while to do....and I like the result :)
I first painted front and back with white paint - remember it was just going to be a 'free standing' tag so needn't have done the back.
I then painted with lovely cheapo gold paint added glitter then stuck on some crumpled tissue paper and the greeting image with watered down PVA glue.
More gold paint, more glue and more glitter.
An organza bow, a glittery snowflake and computer generated banner with teacher's name and I thought that would do but it looked very bare and corners didn't work or any other embellies so after leaving it alone for an hour I had  a sudden 'ping' of inspiration and added two 'ribbon' strips cut from another of the free papers.

Granddaughter asked for a card for her tutor who is leaving the school for pastures new.
Most of the makings for this have come from my stash.........I found the map of the school location on Google and gave it a sepia look with PPx2.

The star die cut should be all separate pieces but I couldn't get them apart but I think it looks good like this. I rubbed over it and the corners with some metallic rub-on in walnut colour and a tiny bit of silver blue

Thank you for stopping by :-)

Thank You Teacher

A request from our 7yr old grandson for his teacher. He is moving up to junior school in September....oh my, how time flies.

The easel is one of the images from Crafty Ann's new set - In the Artist's Studio. I printed it on to Woodgrain Effect paper, one of the earth tones collection
The apple is one of Ann's too and is coloured with copics.
I made the BP by printing some numbers and alphabet on to some neutral coloured Polished Stone paper

I fixed the back leg of the easel directly to the card but the rest of the easel is raised with foam tape.
I also cut around the top part of the easel to hold the 'canvas' in place.

An apple for the teacher is just right for the
Simon Says challenge this week which is 'Let's get Fruity'

Thank you for stopping by and all your lovely comments are greatly appreciated

The second Thank You card

An unusual occurrence - I made two cards today. This happened because I had to stay in all day.
Hubby paid a visit to the loo at 5.30am (ooops, maybe too much information, haha) and heard water running in the pipes. Had a look outside and the driveway and front garden were like a lake. Turned off the supply at the mains, so no water. Then we couldn't lock the back door!
The chappie came and fixed the door about 12.30 and the Homeserve men came about 3pm.
Decided we needed a nice cuppa tea and I dropped and broke the teapot lid.
Son popped in for a while after seeing the doc and has been signed off work for two weeks. He kneeled on a screw head at work and his leg is swollen from knee to ankle.
Quite an interesting day!

This card fits the following challenges

Colour Create - Grassy green, apple green, sunflower yellow, lemon and white

Pollycraft - Arrows

Crafty Goings On - Coloured stamped or digi download

MMSC challenge 8 - Sketch


A6

The cute young fella from Pollycraft digi downloads has made another appearance but I had to give him a different colour jumper for this one.
Coloured with Copics as the previous card. BP's are some of the oddments I am trying to use up.



Thanks for visiting and any comments which are really appreciated

Thank you cards for Teachers

A6

This is the first of two I've made for 6yr old grandson.
He needs two as his teachers are job sharing.
Not such a task as last year when I had to do four



I followed the Carol's Sketch Fun challenge 9
I have got so used to doing 150mm square or A5 I find it difficult to do such small cards nowadays.
This cute young fella is from the Promise Collection by Pollycraft



Thank you for looking and as always your comments are well and truly appreciated
