Hi
there! It’s Wendy from Scrappy Bags with
some teacher appreciation cards that I made from Laura’s adorable Teacher Appreciation Party printables.
Today
I am going to walk you through how I make cards from those brown paper bags
that you can pick up at the grocery store.
Gather up some school scrapbooking papers and your supplies. I found lots of fun paper at my local
scrapbooking store.
Take
that brown paper lunch bags and lay it out flat.
I
then simply fold the paper bag in half.
You now will have a 5x5 square to work with. With me so far?
I
then printed out a bunch of Laura’s teacher appreciation items and got
creative! The first card I made using
the my teacher rules chick. I cut it down
a bit to make it work within the 5x5 square and added some embellishments.
Open
up your folded paper bag to do the inside.
I added some fun paper on the left with a ruler and then I used the
lined “school paper” and added an apple, that I cut from my Silhouette Cameo,
as an embellishment. The lined paper is
perfect for writing your own personal message.
The
next card that I made was using the smaller squares that Laura has listed in
her shop as Teacher Appreciation Toppers. I cut down the
thanks! cards with the yellow gingham to make a banner. I then added some more lined paper and an
apple. I also added in my own
handwriting A+ teacher.
Open
up your bag and decorate. I cut a circle
using the my teacher rules printable and added some blue cardstock behind it
for an extra pop of color. I then added
some red lined paper for a personal message.
The
last card that I made uses the teachers make a difference printable. I cut this one down also to work with my card
size. I added some lined paper and
yellow cardstock to the back of it to make it fun and then backed this with
some cute school days paper. I also
added some scrapper’s floss in orange and red.
For
the inside I added more school days cardstock and lined school paper to add a personal
message. I also used one of the small
you are special printables and added a yellow flag to it.
There
you have it – easy peasy, right? Let
your imagination go crazy. You can make
lots of fun cards with Laura’s teacher appreciation printables!
