Teacher Gifts 3











This is the last of the teacher's gifts I made this year. This set of cards (6 total, 2 of each design)were made for a friend's son's teacher. I love this Raspberry Tart paper and am sad to see it retire along with Kiwi Kiss!

Teacher Gifts - Cards







Here is a set of cards that I made for our son's preschool teachers. I made two of each card and packaged in a card box. This is a layout that I have used before! I love it! It is clean and simple. The chocolate covered strawberry card and cherry card have crystal effects on the fruit to give them a clear embossed look and the orange has dazzling diamond glitter on it for a little extra pizzaz.

Teacher Gifts - Journal Jar




















The summer has had a busy start! I'll be posting a couple of gifts I made for teachers the next couple of days. The first one is an idea that I got from Nichole Heady. It is a journal jar with journal prompts and a matching journal. The journal questions are all related to the teaching profession....why they chose teaching as a major, how has their teaching style changed over time, where did they go to college, etc. I ended up making 3 of these. The first one was for my son's Kindergarten teacher which I did not take a picture of before I gave it, the second was for my daughter's first grade teacher and I made one for a friend to give to her son's teacher. It is a unique gift and I hope it will be memorable for the teacher's and that they enjoy reflecting on their profession. We have been SO blessed with INSPIRATIONAL teachers for our children.
With encouragement from a friend, I'm in the process of making a journal jar for kids. I will post pictures when I get any done!

Custom Card Class - Rasberry Tart












These are some pictures of a Stamp Class I am offering on June 3! These cards feature the Raspberry Tart designer paper. This is a unique class in which participants will make 8 cards with a blank spot on each one to add the sentiment to fit their need at the time the card is given. A variety of sentiments will be stamped on “stickers” that you punch with the large oval punch and you peel the back off of and place on your card when needed. Each card has a white base with designer paper and a scallop edge. These cards would be a great gift. A matchbox using the Big Shot holds the sentiments. If giving this as a gift, you could also include postage stamps in the matchbox. The idea for the custom cards concept is from Nichole Heady.
If you would like to sign up for my class, please email me at karieklundstamps@gmail.com.

Embossing Made Easy!






These two cards were made at a class I offered. They are EASY to make, but look beautiful! They were made using the Big Shot and the SU!'s Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder. The sentiment was created using the Oval All stamp set and Oval Scallop Punch that are featured in the mini catalog. The base of the card is shimmer white cardstock which may be hard to tell in the photo.
