Hello, crafty friends. I’ve been busy making end of the school year gifts for teachers. I created some cards for my son’s teachers… I started by creating the sun rays in the background using Buttercup ink and a blending brush through a sun ray stencil. Next, I die-cut the Big Picture Book Bear dies and bodies using two different browns. This way I could use the left over pieces for the next card. It’s...

Howdy, crafty friends. I have a fun card set to share today that features product from THIS new release… I love giving card sets as gifts and with Christmas just around the corner I decided to make my son’s teacher a card set.

Next, I cut a grassy hill using...
