Simple Teacher Thank You Cards Done 3 Ways | Studio Katia

Hello friends!

This week my kids went back to school, by this point I'm pretty sure they are one of the last ones to start. I'm not going to lie, and even though we had a great summer together, I am happy they are back in school and I have a little more time to myself, lol! Today, I want to share with you three similar yet different cards to have on hand for teacher thank you cards that will be given to them at some point throughout the year.

CARD DETAILS

All cards were done the same way as you'll notice but with different background colors, layout and sentiments.

The first thing I did was repeat stamping with all the Kobi's and the apples using the stamps from the KOBI LOVES SCHOOL stamp set. I then colored each Kobi in different grey tones using Copic markers and their backpacks various colors.

I then used the coordinating KOBI LOVES SCHOOL dies to die cut the images, and set them all aside to blend out some backgrounds. For this background, I blended out picked raspberry, mustard seed, and peacock feathers oxide inks.  I then toped the background using the GRID COVER die. For the sentiments, I used the SCRIPT TEACHER die and the Thanks Die from the A CUP OF THANKS dies that I die cut, stacked and glued three layers together. I then embellished the apple and Kobi's nose with glossy accents and added some SILVER FEVER FUSION sequins to the card front.

This next card was done the same way only this time I blended the background using mustard seed and blueprint sketch oxide inks. As well the placement of the elements are centered and the apple is incorporated into the SCRIPT TEACHER die cuts by gluing it to the top of the "a".

I also heat embossed the YOU RULE sentiment from KOBI LOVES SCHOOL in white on black cardstock.

For this last card, I was going for a fall-inspired background so used ripe persimmons, candied apple and mowed lawn oxide inks on the background.

Again I used the same SCRIPT TEACHER die stacked and the embossed sentiment from the KOBI LOVE SCHOOL stamp set.

Hope these 3 similar yet different Teacher Thank You cards inspired you today. Having these ready will definitely save me sometime throughout the school year. 

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Simple Piano Cards | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Everyone!

Today I have made a few examples of how to create some simple Piano Cards for any occasion.

CARD DETAILS
For my first Piano card, I decided to make it into a Birthday Card.

To begin all off these cards I stamped out the piano keys from the MUSIC SPEAKS multiple times onto a card panel and then used my trimmer to cut them along the stamped edge. You can make these cards horizontal or vertical, either way, all you do is glue the keys along the bottom of a black card base. The horizontal keys fit perfectly onto an A2 card base, on a vertical card base, I just trimmed off the excess as I did in the next few cards.

The next thing I did was stamp the musical notes from the MUSIC SPEAKS set onto black cardstock and then heat set them in using white embossing powder. For this birthday card, I also stamped out the "Happy To You" using stamps from the HAPPY BIRTHDAY set.

To finish the greeting on the center of this card I stamped out the scripted Birthday and then used the coordinating HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY CUTS to die cut it out and then colored the dotted shadow layer using Copic markers in rainbow colors.

Once the top panels were done I added foam tape to pop up the card panel and then trimmed off the excess.

TIP: When creating cards with a black card base it looks nicer if you don't see a white foam tape from a side view angle. So to fix that I use the broad tip of my black Copic marker and run it along the foam tape while it's still on the roll. I then just color the snipped end it is visible from the side of the card.

These two cards were made exactly the same way as the birthday one but vertically. To these, I stamped a few greetings from the ROCKSTAR SENTIMENTS stamp set. I also added a couple of white satin bows and some CRYSTAL PRISM GEM stickers for shine.

For a little pop of color, I added a couple of die cut hearts that I had previously die cut from the BUSY BEE set. To the hearts, I added some Liquid Pixie Dust and then finished them off with a layer of glossy accents.

I hope you were inspired by these Musical Piano Cards. I think these would also make great cards for a music teacher or any music lover in your life. For more inspiration using these products visit the Honey Bee Stamps Blog.
