All Teachers and Stuff

Today is my oldest daughter's last day at school for the indefinite future, as the state shuts down schools due to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. I wanted to make a card for the teachers and staff at the school who have been working hard to get the children prepared for the possibility of homeschool next term.

Initially, the school was planning on having it's last day next Tuesday, so here I was thinking "all good, I'll make some cards over the weekend", but then an announcement from the Premier yesterday threw a spanner in the works - today will be their last day!

So I stayed up late last night getting these cards done, some ideas are CASEd from general Google searches. Enjoy the crazed creativity. Smashing goals.

All Welcome Back and Stuff

It's been a while!

This post is dedicated to my recent wedding. We were so fortunate to have our close friends and families provide services that made the day possible, and I sent out cards with pictures enclosed. There were 15 cards in total, but I forgot to take a photo of one...

I will have 3-4 cards per post over the next 4 days. Some cards I made quite a while ago, and I can't remember the exact details of what products I used. Sorry about that. There are also quite a few retired products used, as I'm only just getting back into the card making game. But enjoy!


For these two cards, I created backgrounds using the emboss resist technique, and came up with these 2 designs:

Our best friend, we credit with being almost entirely at fault for the relationship, got this card below. I love the kind of sarcastic tone of the "gee, thanks" sentiment!
