Teacher Valentines and More

 Hello again!  Well as per last post I have made teacher Valentines.  All Fancy Fold of course.  Now your probably wondering why I am making the cards for my grandkids to give their teachers instead of them making their own.  Well here's the story.  These kids are active in a ton of activities.  2 of them at the moment are in the school plays (2 different schools).  So there is running around to a zillion rehearsals nearly everyday.  Plus they are all in chorus, 2 in band and orchestra, the third in swimming.  YIKES!  I get tired just thinking about it.  So I thought I'd do them the favor and make the cards instead od them taking one out of those boxes of Valentines every other mom buys from a local store.  Plus........I might have a few leftover supplies hahahahaha.

One thing that excited me a bit was while on Amazon looking for a phone case a pop up came up.  It was of a stamp and die set that of course I assumed I didn't need.  But wait!  What did I read?  A stamp that read "Happy Teachers Day".  OMG I have got to have that!  So there I go.   Forgetting my phone case and buying dies and stamps and I don't usually stamp.  LOL  Anyway for only $8.99 I couldn't' pass it up.  Oh ok I could pass it up if I had will power but what fun would that be?  LOL.

What a great set of stamps.  I am sure I will be using these alot.  I'll have to ask my daughter in law when teachers day is.  Ok back to the Valentine cards.

Once again Fancy folds were the thing an since they were teacher cards and teachers have desks, I decided they should be cards that can withstand the bumps a desk takes.  So tall cards are out.  I thought a regular one would blow over too so my choice was an "Easel Card" .  for a sturdier platform I thought a 6"x6" might be a good choice.  So here's what I came up with.

Aren't these adorable?  They are pretty simple and though I don't usually do duplicates for the kids to hand out I had decided it was best this time to just assembly line the cards so I could get them done and move on to other projects I have planned.  I was able to use up a few more embellies and unlike most projects I had very few scraps left so maybe I have slowed down on the Valentine Embellishments LOL.

Well that's it.  They are now off to the kids to give their teachers and I am on to the next project.

So until next time................................................
