Teacher Appreciation Card (*NEW CTMH Products!*)


As a teacher and mom of two students, I couldn't resist the NEW Chalk It Up paper pack and the NEW Teacher Appreciation stamp set!
Isn't that owl cute?!?  I had a lot of fun making this card!  I used the CTMH/Cricut Artbooking card to cut the focal image "spiral notebook" and the pretty Lagoon B&T paper.  I stamped the sentiment first in Sorbet and then the owl in Black.  Using a blending pen, I colored the owl with Cashmere ink (part of the Chalk It Up palette) and added Honey for the mortarboard tassel and owl beak and talons.  Lagoon was the obvious choice for the stamped paper lines, with thank you stamped in black.  Aren't those Chalk It Up embellishments fun?  Puffy stickers are back in style! ;)  I also added a white enamel star.  I love that all of these embellies are self adhesive.  Easy peasy!

Can you believe that today was our students' first day of school (and us teachers started on 7/24)?  Here we are this morning!  My principal wanted all of us teachers to wear a school spirit shirt today (and greet car riders/buses this morning) so my cute outfit is waiting for Monday. ;)

Thank you to the Fabulously Artsy Tresa Black for the great New Product Link Up Party!  Be sure to check out all of the amazing ideas with brand new CTMH products!

  2. This is a very cute card, Haley. Hard to believe school is back on for your kids. We'll be lucky if ours go back in Sept due to strike.
