The snail image was coloured with my markers, cut out with paper snips and adhered with dimensionals to stand out!
These 3x3 cards came together really quickly. I wanted to make them a very simple layout without lots of layers for this reason. I had to make 14 and they came together in only 1 hour. I made the 4 different styles as above and just made 4 of 3 of them and 2 of the last style.
This card actually came together pretty quick. Once Grant picked which sentiment he wanted on it, I had an idea in mind for the design and just had to make it come together. It's difficult to tell from the photo but the sentiment panel is raised up on dimensionals, then the elephant is raised up even further. Sorry the photos not great but I took it late at night!
Despite all the layers it was very quick because the image/sentiment are a rubon from the SU rubons "so cool." The main panel is raised up on dimensionals - which I generally do on all of my cards. It's not the most "baby" looking card but I like the way it turned out and so did my co-worker who received it!
It's masculine but still really nice at the same time - and totally my style of cardmaking! I'm not used to using this few layers but I loved the original card so I didn't want to add more!
This template was so easy and I love the way it turned out! Here are a couple of other views:
This template is quite large as is too. Inside of there I have 3 onsies and 3 pairs of grippy socks! A bit more fun than wrapping the gift or putting it in a gift bag!
I used SC283 as a starting point and asked Grant if he knew her favourite colours and animals of which he said pink and elephants so I came up with this card. I stamped the elephant then cut out around it and raised it up on dimensionals! Hope she likes it!
To top it off, with tons of cutbacks in teaching, Grant was hired on a permanent basis to teach grade 3 starting September! This is the card I made for him when he got the news!
