I have two projects for you today. The first project is the
Circle Window A2 Card with Mat.
The stamp set I used is one of my favorites from
Clear & Simple Stamps,
ABC123.
I ordered this
Apple #01 small in chipboard, as well as, red and green cardstock to make this delicious, layered embellishment. I think I used every stamp in
this set!!
I stamped the apple on yellow paper then colored it in a bit with Copics. The house image is from another
Clear & Simple Stamps set,
Home. Isn't it just darling?
The more you stamp on the inside the less you have to write. Am I right? ;) I think the staples are a nice touch.
Now on to the second project . . . .
Every teacher deserves not only a beautiful handmade card but a gift box to match. This is the
Apple Window Square Box #01 from
Creative Cuts & More.
I made the banner with three
Triangle #01 petites. I love the look of the graphic crayon stamp in the background and the pop of yellow on top.
I stamped the alphabet repeatedly from the
ABC123 set and distressed the edges of the box with ink and a sponge. Even the button is from
Clear & Simple Stamps!
Inside is a special keepsake for teacher. It's a magnet made from the same chipboard apple I used on the card. Below you can see the magnet in action.
These die cuts and stamps are truly the Perfect Pair!! Leave some love for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate!!
Your next stop is Jen Tapler!
Thanks for stopping by and good luck!
