TE Sneak Peek Day 2!

Howdy hens!! Welcome to Day #2 of the Taylored Expressions sneak peeks. Today I will be featuring two new sets PLUS a new A La Carte image. The two sets are "Make the Grade" and "Extra Credit". Did you hens know that Teacher Appreciation Week is May 2nd - May 8th? Gotta get those little appreciation gifts ready so you can show your little chick's teacher how much they mean to you. Teachers really are REMARKABLE, aren't they? So this year, show 'em some love, k? I started by stamping my image onto some SU Natural Ivory CS and colored it with my Copics. I decided to add some siding to the school house, so I drew little black lines with a fine tip pen to resemble boards. Cool huh? I stitched the image onto some SU Basic Black CS and popped the image up with a few dimensionals. This DP is from DCWV's Hittin the Books collection and I embossed the little A+ on the chalkboard with some white embossing powder. To finish, I tied this striped ribbon into a cute bubbly bow!

For card #2, I used the A La Carte Cuppie image and the Extra Credit set for the sentiment. I stamped the image onto some SU Very Vanilla and colored him with my Copics. Of course I added some Glossy Accents to the Teach's glasses. Hehe! I cut the image out with my circle Nesties, sponged some chalk ink around the edges and then I matted it with the SU Basic Black. This DP is from October Afternoon's Report Card collection and I thought the alphabet paper was just perfect!! I matted the DP with the SU Basic Black CS and used my SU scalloped border punch along the bottom edge. To finish, I tied this twill tape into a cute bubbly bow and added the bright red button tied with some black embroidery floss. The sentiment is "You're an Awesome Teacher" but I decided to only ink up the "You're Awesome" part. Just another way you can use this set. I thought it might be a good card for a little chick who did well in school! Ok, leave a cluck below and let me know what you think, k? Be sure to check out the rest of the Baker's Dozen for some more awesome ideas using these sets. I'm sure they're gonna WOW you! {{{hen hugs}}}
