Stamping with Julie Gearinger: Thank You for All That You Do

Hi Friends!

I am having such a great time using the Our Daily Bread Designs May 2017 Release this month and decided to create another card using the new Teacher Tools and Seeds of Knowledge stamp sets along with the A+ Apples Dies and previously released Double Stitched Rectangles Dies.

I incorporated the Simon Says Wednesday “Going Dotty” Challenge along with the Word Art Wednesday #282-#283 “Anything Goes” Challenge into the design.

If you have not had a chance to visit the ODBD Blog or the other challenge sites yet, I hope you will find time to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!!

To create this card:

1). Ink the Teacher Tools stamp with archival black ink, stamp onto white cardstock, die cut and emboss with the Double Stitched Rectangles Dies. Color the image with watercolor pencils, mount onto black cardstock and trim close to the edge.

2). Ink the sentiment from Seeds of Knowledge using embossing ink, stamp black cardstock and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Once the powder has cooled, trim and create the flag banners by hand.

3). Die cut and emboss red, brown and green cardstock using the A+ Apple Dies for the apple and black cardstock for the A+. Assemble the apple die and set aside.

4). Trim a piece of Birthday Brights Collection 6x6 Paper Pad, mount onto white cardstock, trim and mount onto the black card base.

5). Mount the Teacher Tools image and A+ die cut directly to the card front and add the die cut apple along with the “Thank You” sentiment with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by- hugs and I hope you have a fabulous week, sweet friends!
