Warm Appreciation...

My little guy has some really wonderful teachers at his preschool. Now that school is wrapping up for this year, I wanted to put together a little thank you gift for each lovely lady who is teaching him so much. I am starting with the cards, as I have to make several, which means the goal is cute, but simple! I was inspired by this week's Wee Memories Holiday challenge to incorporate the fun of the holidays into these thank you notes.

I began with some adorable paper from Cosmo Cricket and chose my complimentary colors accordingly. I love the non-traditional colors and kept to them as much as possible. Next, I stamped a pretty snowflake from the set, Winter Wonderland from Taylored Expressions directly onto vellum, adding a few Stickles for some sparkle. I mounted them onto a piece of punched cardstock to really make the snowflakes pop. Then, I added the perfect little sentiment, finishing off with some cute twine. All in all, this sweet little card took about 10 minutes, so in an hour I had all my cards finished and ready for my little rugrat to sign his name (which will take up the entire inside of each, despite the fact that his name only has four letters!)
