Pop-up Teacher Appreciation Cards

For teacher appreciation week this year, I made these pop-up flag cards inspired by a Knall Crafting! birthday card. I try to give teachers a treat each day – a scone for breakfast one morning, flowers and cookies. I made homemade crackers this year and paired them with some fancy cheddar cheeses I found at

Easter Bunny Butt Card

Easter Bunny Butt Card I saw these bunny cards on Split Coast Stamps while I was sifting through my pinterest for ideas for cards to make. The kids and I thought the bunny butt was very cute, so we pulled out the punches and got to work. I designed the card on Affinity, I wanted

Origami Bunny Baskets

Origami Bunny Baskets I made these one year for teacher treats. I had to go to the DMV for work and it was unscheduled, so I knew I would be waiting for awhile. I had saved these on Pinterest and found a how to video. I brought a bunch of paper and a clipboard started

St. Patrick’s Day Cards

To go with the boxes and shamrocks I made last week, I needed a card for the teachers for St. Patrick’s Day. I hit Pinterest for inspiration and found a stampin’ up card that I liked. After pulling envelopes and paper, I sat down to design in Affinity. I planned to use #10 green envelopes,

4- Leaf Clover Bouquet

Valentine’s for School

Kid’s Valentines When the kids were in preschool, it was easy to make Valentine’s for their classes, with less than 24 kids, it’s not too much work. When they entered elementary school, it changed some because they had their class AND their afterschool care. Both had a Valentine party, which added up to nearly 75

Ice Skate Cards

A number of years ago, my family went skiing for Christmas. It was a wonderful trip-it snowed every day we were there except the day we arrived and the day we left. Coming from Southern California, it was exactly what we hoped for in a Christmas vacation. In the lodge where we were staying was

Thanksgiving Cards

Thanksgiving cards for teachers can be a challenge, there are often barely 3 weeks between Halloween and Thanksgiving, and I am working on the menu for Thanksgiving at the same time, but I do try to make them as creative and special as all the other cards. One year I used a turkey graphic from

Halloween Bat Cards

Since I made bat treat holders, I thought bat cards would be appropriate. I’d already done spider cards, witch boots, a haunted house, an owl, spider cards, and a skeleton, I don’t like to repeat myself, hah. I saw a bat die cut in a Joann Papercrafting Group made for a #10 envelope. The envelopes
