It feels like we were just celebrating the 4th of July, and now, just as summer seems to be getting started, it's already time to welcome the kids back to school! Time truly does fly.
We took our son to his new college apartment this week, and it instantly made me nostalgic for the simpler days of grade school and middle school. In that spirit, I've crafted a school-themed card this week that's absolutely perfect for a new student to give their teacher as the academic year begins.
To make this card, I started with a pre-patterned card base. I used an apple die from my stash to cut out a stitched apple-shaped window. To fill this window, I placed strips of Tape Measure Washi Tape onto yellow cardstock. It was then very simple to glue the panel on the inside of the card, allowing the cheerful yellow washi tape to peek through the apple cutout.
I added a stem and leaves to the apple, and then stamped and cut out my sentiment strips. I applied a strip of Book Washi Tape as a themed border before adhering the sentiments. Then came all the fun brads! First, I placed a delightful Pastel Owl Brad above the "Thanks" sentiment. Next, I added Computer & Headphone Brads along the border, tying into the school theme. The final touch was a perfect stack of books in the form of a Book Brad, completing this school scene.
This card is a sweet and simple way to show appreciation as the school year kicks off!
