School Encouragement Cards

This year I decided to mail the kids in my life cards at the beginning of the school year to encourage them in the adventure ahead! I then gave them a gift card to a local ice cream place because some days just require ice cream!! Each kid got a card that fit them and their grade in school.

Had a couple 2nd graders and then for the Kindergarten and 1st grade I did the one below.

Supplies:
Digital Image/Patterned Paper: Diane's Daydream Designs
Metal Dies: Stitched Circle
Sketch: Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #487

Those kiddos had younger siblings that aren't old enough for school but didn't want to leave them out so they got the ones below. Basically told them to be good and have fun while their older sibling was in school then they could all go for ice cream!

Supplies:
Digital Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps/Lisa's Doodley Doos (Ice Cream Sticks). I colored them to match the kiddo they were going to.

Then my nephew's and niece (Benedict kids) I adopted when a coworker got hurt 3 years ago got these. The younger are in same grade due to how their birthdays fell on the calendar. The older boy is in 8th grade this year.

This image is special not only for my bright young man it went to but because my husband drew it when he was making a few digital stamps for Clearly Digi Stamps. My nephew is also learning how to draw so extra special to have one of Uncle Patrick's drawings.

Sunny Thought Kit – Annie’s Card Making Kit

Trying to clean my craft room that is beyond a disaster. There is so much to do to get it back in order. One of the things are cards laying around with sketches so I can post them. But as you tell the last few years I haven’t posted much. And this past fall/winter (2022) I didn’t even make any Christmas cards for orders. Just overwhelmed and busy. But in starting to get my life back under control I’m cleaning my craft disaster.

Here are some cards I have made in past year or two!!

I made this for an order. I used the Annies Cardmaker Kit of the Month Club – May 2021 – Sunny Thoughts. Then I made this one as version 2 with the supplies.
