Beth’s Keep Calm stamp set


It’s not too late to make your project or special cards because students and teachers will be back in the classroom.

WAIT!!! DID SOMEONE SAY BACK TO SCHOOL??? 
 In our house, we have a child that considers the "s" word forbidden in the summer! She hates the early back to school commercials on tv and the radio! I'm not even telling her about this hop! Ha ha!

I created this first card on the new jelly bean card stock.  I love this color green! I stamped the apple {from Stippled Nature} in the jelly bean and then stamped the sentiment {from Keep Calm} in black! What a great card for your kid's lunch bag for the first day of school! This is a 4x4 square card.


Wouldn't this next card be cute for your child to hand to their new teacher on their first day of school? This apple is from Bounty of Blessings and the sentiment is from Keep Calm! Both were stamped in black, but the apple was colored in with spectrum noir markers. 
Ready for more awesome creations?! Just click on the links below for more from the Cast & Crew!

I love how cute, clean and simple these cards are, they would be great to mass produce for all the teachers! Yes, we are not encourage to say the "S" word in our house either, LOL!

Oh Beth, they are both so good. I have a granddaughter that is beginning high school and the apple one would be great for her. That apprehension on the first day of a new school, scary. Both cards are great.

Roberta Eldridge said...

Both cards are simple and sweet and use the traditional apple representing the teacher or school. I especially love the first card with the green apple. That apple is so pretty! It is great for both the child and the teacher to receive a gift on the first day of school. Great job!

Unknown said...

Very cute! some of these cards could be used for scrapbooking page ideas!

I think I'd make a small stack of these cards to put in a child's lunch box throughout the year to keep them motivated and at ease.

Cammi said...

Apples! These cards are darling!

The tale of your daughter is a riot. Your cards are great. All my grand children are grown but these would have been cute to have when they were younger.

Diana said...

I love that way you make simple, quick easy cards. So cool especially when you need something quick. Also we use these when working with the tenants at the retirement home. They love that they can make them and they look so good. You work blesses many!

Great cards and I love the idea of the teacher card with the keep calm sentiment. It should bring a smile to the teachers face.

Beth, Apples are useful *all* year long. I am always looking for new designs to incorporate them, and new ways to "make" them. Thank you for the ideas.
