School Time You're A Good Apple Card with Vanessa

Hello everyone! Vanessa here with a card using School Time. Here in the south of Germany, we are only halfway through school vacation, so I am still enjoying time with my girl. But it will be over too soon and then I'll have this card to give to her:

Sunny Studio Stamps: School Time You're A Good Apple Card by Vanessa Menhorn.

I started with a panel of watercolor paper, masked off the edges and applied black dye ink with an ink blending tool. This way I created a background that looks like a chalk board. Now I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and adhered the panel to my card base. I stamped the apple, the pencil and the notebook page onto white cardstock, colored them with Copics and fussy-cut them. On the apple, I stamped a second leaf and adhered it to the apple with foam tape. Then I adhered the images to the card. Finally, I trimmed and tied a piece of chevron ribbon and adhered it to the top of the notebook page.

School Time You Rule Teacher Card with Lindsey

Hi! Lindsey here today! I've got a fun card using a previously released stamp set called School Time. This set has lots of great school images perfect for making cards for all those hardworking teachers! You could also use this set to make little notes for your kiddos. Let's get started!

Sunny Studio Stamps: School Time & Woo Hoo Owl "You Rule" Teacher Card by Lindsey Sams.

I started with an A2 sized rectangle cut from some patterned paper. Then I cut a slightly smaller rectangle out of some patterned paper that looked like notebook paper. The notebook paper is where I decided to stamp my sentiment. Next I cut another rectangle the same size as the notebook paper from white cardstock. This is what I did my stamping on. I stamped several rulers from School Time in a row along the bottom of the rectangle. 

Then I stamped the owl from Woo Hoo on top of one of the rulers. I had to do a bit of masking on the owl's feet before stamping the ruler under him. I colored all my images with Copic markers. I then fussy cut the rulers and owl along the top of the stamping. I then attached the stamped panel to the front of the notebook paper rectangle and popped that rectangle up on the A2 sized patterned paper with some foam tape. I just loved how this card turned out. The bold rainbow colors are just too fun!
