Card ... oh card!

Hello everyone!

I love using my die cutting machine for all my projects - especially 3D projects which are awesome! - but I'm struggling a bit with cards ...!

So todays challenge to myself was to make a thank you card for our neighbour who baked my hubby a rhubarb crumble for his birthday and to thank her for making me buy some vanilla bean ice cream to go with it! ;-)

I love the last minute addition of the flower and accessory!

I had an already made card base from Michaels in my stash so I decided to use that - anything to ease myself into cards - and the patterned paper is from the 'South of Market' collection paper pad, Studio Calico (which has some fab patterns).

Thanks for visiting,

Thank you Teachers!

It has been a wonderful year at my sons school and we've been lucky to have two AWESOME teachers in his class. I made these gift card boxes for them with a neat tag to thank them for making my sons first year so SPECIAL.

I used my Cameo to cut out the boxes from a SVG file from the Silhouette store and I designed the tags and cut them out on nice gold cardstock

I found a suitable font on my computer and used the sketch pens to write the wording

Inside I added a nice lip gloss from the Bath and Body Works store and a gift card from Chapters, my favourite bookstore. 

Enjoy your two weeks break Mrs B and Miss P and see you in July!
