This week, Claire is hosting our monthly Clean-and-Simple (CAS) Challenge.
Check it out and play along with us!
I wasn’t really sure what to make for this project as I don’t have kiddos, so Back to School isn’t an occasion I usually create for. However, I do have a LOT of friends who are teachers, so I decided to make some cards for them for the new school year. Things are definitely different this year, as many schools are starting out the year with online “distance learning” and I just wanted to make a few cards to send out to let my friends know how much they are appreciated for all they do.
*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for this card below along with a full supply list at the very end of the post.
Novelty or not, this was what I had to use, so I went with it. This card came together really quickly thanks to the punch. I added a little pop of red buffalo check from the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper and a bit of woodgrain texture to the background. It’s Clean-and-Simple week, so I tried not to go TOO crazy with the embellishments. Of course those apples have some added Wink of Stella sparkle because…well, why NOT. I also popped on a Linen Thread bow and a trio of tiny rhinestones as the finishing touches.
