Cards for teachers | Happy days Collection | Anna Komenda
Hello everyone. It’s Anna here with another project made with new “Happy days” collection. June is a busy period in our family’s life as it’s the last month of school year. Final exams are already over and now it’s time for a lot of good bye’s as my older daughter is finishing the elementary school and is moving to the highschool and my younger daughter is finishing the first step of elementary school and will be changing teachers. I will need a big bunch of cards to thank all of the teachers for taking such a great care of my kids. That’s why I decided to combine my DT duties and my mom duties and make a THANK YOU cards for teachers.
This week we are also focusing on PUFFY ALPHAS so I decided to show you how easily you can customize your cards with them! All four cards I made are the same size, but each looks a little bit different. I used variety of pattern papers from A5 PAPER STACK for my backgrounds. This way I didn’t have to cut into whole 12*12 sheets to only get a small piece.
Two of my cards have little shakers made with frames from EPHEMERA PACK. This is the fastest way to make a shaker! Just add a piece of acetate behind the frame, then pieces of foam adhesive to create a shaker, fill it with sequins and glue to the background.
Those two cards are more personal, with the names of teachers added. It was so easy to do with those tiny PUFFY ALPHA STICKERS! I decorated the frames with some flowers from FLORAL EPHEMERA PACK and some cut out from LUSH BLOOMS 12*12 PAPER. I also added colorful butterflies fussy cut from FLUTTERBY 12*12 PAPER. They create such a lovely, colorful mix. As you can see I didn’t add any school related items to my cards. Who said teacher’s appreciation cards need to have them? Mine are simply cheerful and colorful.
This card utilise another elements from EPHEMERA PACK – little oval frame, that became a focal point of my composition. I added a title on top of it, this time it’s simple THANK YOU, and surrounded it with some florals and butteflies. My final step was to add few cute PUFFY HEARTS.
Last card features fruits instead of flowers. Once again I reached for my scissors and fussy cut some lemons, peaches and oranges from one of the A5 PAPER STACK patterns. I arranged them in a frame around the background and added title in the middle. Another cute card was ready in just few minutes!
Here are few close-ups for the titles, showcasing PUFFY ALPHAS.
Four cards are done. I just need like ten more. But it’s good to have a good start. That is all for today. I hope you like my ideas for colorful and easy to make cards showcasing all the colors of beautiful “Happy days” collection!
Thank you so much for spending your time with me and see you at the end of June!
