Teacher Kisses and Note Cards

Hi everyone!  I am typing with one bandaged finger, so kindly forgive any typos!  ;)

I finished up all the end of the year teacher gifts and wanted to share them with you.  We are down to two days left!  We will be at a different school next year and wanted to let the teachers know how much we will miss them.  I made each one a set of blank notecards and a handful of Teacher Kisses.  Take a look! 

This is the first set of teacher note cards that I made.  The wonderful Dream Pop Papers were perfect for this set.   I used an older Close to My Heart Stamp Set to make these kisses that I have seen everywhere on Pinterest...

Now here are the other sets of cards.  The first shows the wrapped up gift, and the rest show each teacher's note cards...

I added little sparkles to either the "i" in Miss or the "." in Mrs.

The papers I used are from the Reflections line or My Mind's Eye School Daze.  The inks and stamps are from Close to My Heart.  I am now selling sets of these cards in my Etsy shop, so keep me in mind when school starts up again!  :)

Teacher Appreciation Week!

This week is all about teachers!  Teachers have always been a part of my life in more ways than one and will always have a special place in my heart.  Both of my parents were teachers, I married a teacher, and I have a teaching degree myself!  ;)

I am linking my teacher gifts up to the Heart 2 Heart Teacher Appreciation Challenge.  I am making a set of these note cards for each of my children's teachers.  This one features the bold, bright colors of Dream Pop.  :)  Robi, close your eyes now if you are reading!  ;)

I wanted to keep these easily reproducible, but also visibly pleasing.  With the Dream Pop Pattern Papers, that was a cinch, lol!  I love how the black CS makes the colors pop even more.  I stamped in Ruby Ink and added a tiny red sparkle for the period for a bit of bling.  :)

The Classmate Alphabet is retired now, but I originally bought it for just this reason.  The letters were not terribly hard to line up on the line.  There were no repeating letters in this teacher's name, so we will see how it goes for the next one.  I am up for the challenge!  :)

I only used one sheet of pattern paper to make these 5 cards, and even had some left to add to each on the inside for an accent!  One set down...five to go!  These are going to be used as end of the year gifts, so I still have time, thank goodness!  I have a little something planned to go along with them and, I cannot wait to share it with you!  :)
