Lil Inker Apple Shaker Card


The theme challenge at The Paper Players this week is "Back to School."


I just bought a bunch of school supplies to donate at my hubby's workplace. Every year they have a school supply donation box in their lounge. I got some really good deals this year! BUT....I can't believe it's already that time of year again...where has the summer gone? Sob....


I decided to make a card for a teacher, and found my Simon Says "Thank You Teacher" stamp set. I love the sentiments in this set! I cut out a stitched rectangle and stamped the sentiment off to the side. Then I made a shaker with Lil Inker's Apple shaker die. SO cute!!!I love the stitches. I also added a pencil from Cheery Lynn's School Supplies die set.

This is a lot of fun, Laurie! I love the shaker apple and the quote is absolutely perfect to celebrate back-to-school. All of the stitched detail is wonderful, too. Love it!

Darn cute, Laurie, and the sentiment is fantastic! I've said it before... you always have the best sentiments. If you had a bunch of back to school cards that you didn't plan on using it would be fun to include them in the supply box at your husband's work. There are far too many things reminding me that summer is almost over. I feel like it's just begun!

What a perfect teacher card, Laurie! As a teacher for 34 years, I can say without a doubt that it is a card which will be treasured by the recipient. The sentiment is absolutely wonderful. And...who doesn't love a shaker card!
