Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. As we come to the end of the school year, it’s so important to thank a teacher and let them know how much they are appreciated. Today I’m using several new products to create a thank you card for a teacher.
For my card background, I added distress inks in rainbow colors to the Pinstripe stencil. When I finished adding the ink, I sprayed the stencil with water to clean it, but before wiping the ink off the stencil with a paper towel, I pressed the inked stencil into another piece of cardstock to create a second background. This is a great way to make two for one backgrounds. I just love the watercolor look of the pinstripes in the background of my card.

I used a border from the Crafty Days stamp set and adhered it to the bottom of the stenciled background. I also created a tag for the top of the card using the Scallop Square Tag dies. I added a piece of black cardstock to the green tag. The black cardstock measures 2 ¾” x 3”. I die cut the Thank You Script die from white cardstock and adhered it to front. I chose to use black cardstock for the background and white cardstock for the words because I wanted it to resemble a chalkboard.
When gluing the tag to the card, I only applied glue to the left, right, and bottom edges of the tag. I left the middle free from glue so I can place a gift card inside. If you do not want to add a gift card, you can simply apply glue to the entire backside of the tag and adhere it to the card.
For the inside of the card, I added two borders from the Crafty Days stamp set and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I adhered the borders to the bottom edge of the card. I added a sentiment from the Crafty Sentiments stamp set.
Another option for adding a gift card is to insert the gift card behind the border on the inside of the card like shown here.
