Waaaa….school is almost out for the summer. I’m sad cause that means another year has gone by and my kids are getting older. But I’m happy too cause that means we have lots of outdoor playtime ahead of us. My goal every summer is to keep the kids busy enough that they don’t fight all the time but also fun and relaxed so they say when they are older “Remember the summer of 2010? That was the best summer EVER!”
Anyway, I am making a few of these desktop card organizers for my son’s teachers this year. I’m filling it up with Thank You cards and other assorted sentiments so they always have a card on hand. I’m including envelopes and stamps. I’m going to package this up in cello and ribbon before I give it to them.
I found the template for the card organizer online. I printed it out, cut and folded where indicated and then decorated it. This one shown is in the lovely Veranda paper. I’m also making one in That’s Amore. Below are the cards I’m including. These were made following the designs in Wishes, our latest Card design book. Each set has 16 total cards in it. Hope they like it!
Recipe: Veranda Paper pack, That’s Amore Paper pack, Value pack Colonial white cards and envelopes, Gracious Greetings stamp set, Playful flourishes stamp set, Just Blooms Paper flowers in Spring Blossom and Big Pinks, Filigree charms, Juniper waxy flax, blush waxy flax, Tulip stamp pad, Juniper stamp pad, Craft buttons in Winter & Holiday, Colonial white brads

Quick card. Quick post. I had to make a card for my son’s teacher today. I don’t really know what his interests are so I just stuck with masculine colors and stayed away from my sports/hunting stamps. I pulled out my Wishes book and saw a design that appealed to me: Lower Layers.
I actually mixed and matched paper packs on a very minimal level here too. Yes, I’m starting small and will move up to mixing paper packs on a scrapbook page someday. Baby steps, you know.
Recipe:
Happy Birthday stamp set, Twitterpated paper pack, Grace Paper pack, Desert Sand textured cardstock & stamp pad, sandpaper, Twill ribbon, colonial white brads & Indian Corn Blue CS & stamp pad.
