School Time You Rule Teacher Card with Elise

Hi everyone! It's Elise today to share a super cute teacher card with you today that features the School Time stamp set. My husband is a high school teacher, so I made this small 4.25" by 3.5" card to slip into his lunch box before school some day! :)


The images are all stamped in black ink onto white card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils. I wanted the notebook page and all of the little images to stand out, so I used a kraft card base for contrast. I also really like to add dimension to my cards, so I used foam tape to attach the apple, pencil, and stars. Here is a close up:


Thanks for stopping by to check out my card using the School Time stamp set! Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for some more inspiration! :)

Watercolored Thank You Teacher card with Audrey

Hi there!  Audrey here with you today to share a card using the new School Time stamp set!  I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I started off my card by creating a watercolor background using several colors of distress inks.  I wanted to create a backdrop for my focal point, and I kept the size of the notebook paper image in mind when painting, so that color was just peeking out from behind the image.  

I stamped the notebook page, crayons, apple and ruler, all from the School Time stamp set, and colored them with copic markers.  To add some interest, I adhered the ruler at an angle near the bottom third of the card front, and added a strip of bright patterned paper below the ruler.  I popped the crayons and apple up on foam tape for some added dimension, and then popped the entire watercolored panel up on a white card base using foam tape.

You can see here how much added texture the watercolor paper gives to the card, and a few accents to the crayons and apple with a white gel pen really bring them to life.  For even more texture and interest, I added a scattering of tiny wood stars, but there are also a few star images in the stamp set too!

Thank You Teacher


That's all for me today!  I hope that you enjoyed my card using the School Time stamp set!  Be sure to stop back tomorrow for more inspiration from the design team! :)
