Envelope for Summer Pre School Teacher's Thank You Card

I decided to break out my Envelope Punch Board and make a cordinating envelope for the Teacher's Thank You Card.

 This Envelope Punch Board is from Stampin Up but Micheal's and Hobby Lobby carry different brands and you can use a coupon too.

I started off by cutting my paper to 8X8.

I placed my paper at the 3 1/2 inch mark, punched, then scored on the right side.

 I alligned that score mark with that knotch you see sticking out towards the left.

The paper ends up being at the 4 1/2 inch mark, punch and score again.

Repeate and each time allign with that score guide, punch and score two more times.

 There are many many videos on You Tube if you need more help.

Score with a bone folder and I always cut one of the corners to make the envelope more cleaner.

This is a very wide score tape that I purchased from Micheal's.

It's half an inch thick.

I added it to the bottom parts of the envelope, where the cut off triangle part will go over.

 I added more of the tape to the top two flaps and cut off the top of the triangle again about 1/2 inch down.

When ready its easy to peel off the score tape after you place your card inside and fold over to seal.

Here are the Teacher's Thank You Cards I made, Would you like to know how, CLICK HERE.

Here is my Envelope Punch Board that I have, all the markings on the bottom have many different card sizes.

Summer Pre School Teachers Thank You Card

I made two sets of 25 3X3 Thank You cards for Alivia's Summer Pre School Teachers and wanted to also give them a card along with a Starbucks Gift Card.

I searched Pinterest and found a Thank You card that I wanted to recreate, I looked threw my stash and found simalar items and got to work.

These two cards were quick and easy, I would say just under 30 minutes to make.

CLICK HERE to see the inspiration card.

 This is an EK Success punch that I had in my stash.

It also has flowers and a center on it as well.

I used Wild Wassabi card stock and I also cut a 1/8 inch strip as well.

 Using a petals embossing folder to add some texture to the back ground using Crumb Cake card stock.

 Using Heavy Weight White card stock to punch out some daisy flowers from a Recollections punch.

I cut out two for each flower.

I will add some nice dark but still yellow buttons for the center of the flowers.

 I used some Heavy Weight White card stock and Fun Foam along with a Stamps of Life thanks die.

A little Tombow Mono Liquid glue to adhere them together and then a block on top just until they dry which will not take too long.

 I used a foam dimensional in the center and layerd the flowers to give a more dimensional/fuller look.

 Again a small amount of Tombow Mono Liquid glue to adhere the buttons, I added the glue in a circle as to not let it seep threw the buttons hole.

 A thanks greetings stamp set with sub sentiments for the inside to finish off in Wild Wassabi ink.

All done and I could not be happier, I love this card and plan to make many more.

Kind of a close up/side view to see the dimension and texture.

Inside which I also added an extra piece of my embossed paper.

Back of the card as well stamped in Wild Wassabi ink, I like to have a few different back of card stamp sets to get some variety depending on which card I am working on, this one with the flower fits perfectly.

3X3 Thank You Notes for Summer Pre School Teachers Set #5

This design was a very quick and easy set to make, it took less then 45 minutes to make 10 from start to finish and write this blog post.

 I am using a set of circle dies that I purchased from Micheal's but not sure the brand but it has a ton of dies.

 I took some Basic Black card stock and a heart punch and punch out a bunch and cut them right in half.

 The bigger circle is in Cucumber Crush and then I skipped a die and cut out some Heavy Weight White and then the next die down in Watermelon Wonder.

 A very thin layer of Tombow Mono Liquid glue to adhere all the circle together.

 You can see the skipping of the die between the green and the white gives the watermelon a larger rind.

 Scratch paper between the 3X3 card base.

I am using the cordinating Cucumber Crush marker to make some lines on the back ground.

I have the marker so I get a more wider line, not straight down on the card front.

 Using my Fiskars paper trimmer and placing the watermelon in the center.

I push down the blade in the center and then cut up and down this makes it easier and will not tear the card stock.

 Adding some foam to the back of the half watermelon and then adding three tiny drops of Tombow Mono Liquid glue to adhere the little black seeds.

Just a Drop not a lot.

All done, I did add a Thank You sentiment in the inside and stamped the back in Cucumber Crush ink.

3X3 Thank You Notes for Summer Pre School Teachers Set #4

All right here is Design #4 for my 3X3 Thank You Notes for Alivia's Summer Pre School Teachers.

I went with a fairly simple design but added some flair/dimension with some flowers.

 I am basicly making a one layer card with some Heavy Weight White card stock.

Using the Hampton Art Stamp Perfect Tool.

 To use foam mounted stamps in the Hampton Art Stamp tool you just remove the black foam part.

 Using Versa Fine Black Onyx ink to stamp the sentiment which makes it easy using the tool because you can stamp twice which I did to get a crisp dark black image.

 Using a small flower punch and some purple card stock I stamped out three of each color for the ten cards.

The black foam I put back in the Stamp Tool and used a pen to push down the center to give it some lift.

 Using some Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to adhere the flowers in a triangle order and a Pearl pen for the centers because this would be the most cost efficent way since I am makeing ten of the same design.

All Done.

3X3 Thank You Notes for Summer Pre School Teachers Set #3

This is Design #3 that I will give to Alivias Summer Pre School Teachers.  I made one design but used two different sheets of 6X6 pattern paper from a studio g pack.

 I used some Heavy Weight Black card stock and a scallop punch to make some borders.

I cut out pattern paper and a cordinating butterfly for each thank you card.

I am using a Hampton Art Stamp Perfect Tool along with a stamp set from this company and some Versa Fine Black Onyx ink to stamp on some Heavy Weight White card stock.

 I made a Heavy Weight 3X3 base.

Using some ATG adhesive to adhere the Hello Honey card stock near the top and butted the pattern right below.

More ATG adhesive on the sentimnet strip and scallop strip.

 Grid mat to make sure everything is straight.

I cut off the extra pattern paper from the bottom as well.

 Some foam on the back of the butterfly and I will add some pearls to the center of the butterfly.

All done.

3X3 Thank You Notes for Summer Pre School Teachers Set #2

This is design #2 for my Pivia's Summer Pre School Teachers, I am making 25 3X3 Thank You Notes for the Teachers that they can give out to other Teachers, Parents, or Volumteer's.  I make five designs with five of each design.

 Here I am using a Heavy Weight Green card stock that I cut to 3 inches wide by 6 inches tall and scored at 3 inches.

 Using Versa Fine Black Onyx ink and anouther piece of the Green Heavy Weight card stock cut to 3/4 inches wide by 2 3/4 long.

 Using my Hampton Art Stamp Perfect Tool and some Heavy Weight White card stock to stamp my flowers.

 These are rubber mounted stamps so I took out the foam insert of the Stamping Tool.

 I only use one magnet to hold down the paper.

 Even if the paper is too long its OK it will not crease it.

I am stamping the sentiment on the inside.

 I did hit the images with my heat tool on low just to dry them before I start to water color them with Distress inks.

I am using Mowed Lawn for the leaves.

 Mustard Seed for the buds and inside of the butterfly.

 Carved Pumpkin for the other buds and the rest of the butterfly.

 Abandon Coral for one of the flowers.

 Seedless Preserves for the other flower.


Its easy to water color with distress inks, just take an acrylic block and smoosh the ink on it and use a water brush to add water and pick up the color.

Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to adhere the banner to the bottom.

 Some light and dark brown twine wrapped around twice and adhered on the back with some Scotch Tape.

 Using that same Mowed Lawn to stamp the back of the card and added some foam the the panel and placed on the front of the card.

All Done.
