An Apple for the Tutor

Stamps: Definitely Decorative (retired), Sincere Salutations
Paper: Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Ruby Red (retired), Whisper White
Ink: Old Olive, Ruby Red (retired)
Accessories: Ribbon (retired)

This is actually an old card but I have always liked it.  I decided to give it to a friend who tutors Ian and the other kids on their seminar day with Classical Conversations.  It seemed appropriate since it was common to give the teacher an apple before class.

This card is a copy of the one we made for the New Catalog Stamp Camp.  I wanted to make a simple yet striking card for the ladies in my bible study and this seem to be the solution.

This looks equally lovely in every color I tried it in (Concord Grape, Marina Mist, and Pacific Point.)

This is a really simple card, just layer starting with the Dotted background stamp, wrap the ribbon around the base, use the brad to tack the flower and punches to the card (punched through the ribbon and paper with the awl in the tool kit.) Adhere the layers to the card, stamp the sentiment and there you go. A simple and cute card.

Embrace Life

Paper: Blue Bayou, Whisper White, Kraft, Designer Paper

Inks: Blue Bayou, Close to Cocoa

This was a very basic card ... stamp the background stamp using color on color ink to paper. Stamp the flower from Embrace Life and then paint in the petals. Cut the corners and mount image to kraft paper, trim to size and mount on designer series paper for color contrast. Attach brads to hold image down and to coordinate colors between image and paper. Attach to card and your done.
