End of the year cards



We're just about done with the school year here.  Ellie's done on Friday, and Carina's preschool transitions to a more summer camp type format starting next week.

Instead of creating coordinated card sets for the teachers this year, I opted to just package up some of my cards for them since I think those are always nicer than the sets of cards that I make.  They're also getting gift certificates to a local bakery because carbs are always an excellent reward for a job well done.

Anyway, I had ordered the Teacher's Pet stamp set and coordinating die a while back from Studio Calico because I thought it would be perfect for this purpose, and it's always nice to follow through on my crafting plans.



The crayon box was stamped with Versafine and then colored with Kuretake watercolors.  Then I just picked some of the coordinating colors out of the crayon box to serve as card bases and for the sentiment die cut.

This is such a fun set and it's got some great sentiments/images for kids too, so I'm thinking maybe some lunch box/encouragement notes for next year might have to be created.

Thanks for stopping by!

  19. You are amazing!!! I LOVE the watercolor. How do you get such tiny detail? It must take you forever or do you dry it in-between? One reason I hesitate with the watercolor is because of the running. These are so perfect!!
