Teacher Thank You Apple Book Card

Created this Teacher Thank You Card using 2 different Cricut cartridges & some scraps of paper. The book image is from the Cricut This & That Creative Memories cartridge I won from Everyday Cricut last wk. The apple image is from Cricut Locker Talk cartridge which I have not used in quite some time. The apple patterned & school bus patterned scrapbook papers are from the Paper Studio.

I updated my Gypsy which I had not done sine Fall of last yr when it was replaced. This took 1 hr+. Updated my Cricut which took just shy of 1 hr.

Used Frosted Design sketch to make the square card.





Embossed the center square with Cuttlebug Typeset embossing folder.

Photographed with couple of my favorite college books:
Physics, Calculus and Intro Probability & Statistics.















































Cricut cartridges:
Locker Talk 1 1/2" Apple
This & That Creative Memories 3 1/2" Books - cut & used bottom book only


embossing: Cuttlebug Typeset embossing folder

ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

paper:
core'dinations cardstock - Brownie (brown for apple stem), Scarlet (red for Base), Shamrock (green for apple leaf), Tulip (yellow for center square)

  19. hi Melissa,
    this is a really cool card for a teacher. All the papers you have used suit the card perfectly and the embossing looks fantastic as well.

    You have now made me think that I should be using my cricut more. I will start doing this when I come back from holidays.

    Thanks so much for sharing your card at Anything goes, Just keep on creating. I hope you will continue to share your work :)
