Teacher Appreciation Cards

This week is Teacher Appreciation week, so I made a simple card for each of my kids’ teachers.  I made the cards, then let my kids decorate the insides.

I used a Gelly Roll Stardust gel pen in my Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder for the Silhouette to write the teacher’s name with the font “Jenna Sue”. I used my freehand drawing tool in Studio to draw a squiggly line, then adjusted the curves with point editing to get it just the way I wanted. Then, I just changed my line style to a perforated line and it made a cute little flying trail! The butterfly is cut directly out of the card base and backed with red polka-dot paper.

Look at the shimmer of the ink! That’s the best part of using sketch pens. You can’t duplicate that with a printer.

For the card’s inside, I cut out the letters for the word “teacher” so the kids could use them to describe their teachers. (That was their idea.) And the paper I used to back the butterfly on the front left a nice little area for a note or a drawing.

I hope their teachers enjoyed these cards!
