    {Teacher Appreciation Day Shape Cards 

    Everyday should be Teacher Appreciation Day. Of course, I say that ’cause I’m a teacher. It’s nice to get spoiled and appreciated for a day.

    My son is in 4th grade and he has had a great year with his teacher. She LOVES the color purple and her last name begins with A. So after much noodling (and surfing Pinterest forEVER), I came up with these:

    (edit: I just reshot the pictures. I hated them and wanted to redo them)

     

    This is an alphabet set from Lettering Delights that I believe is free this month.

    I did a pixel trace on the letters and broke apart all the pieces. I made a shadow layer and turned it into a card.

     

    I love using the foam tape to give the cards some dimension. I’m terrible with glue, which I’ve told you before, so excuse the glue mess.

    I cut these using the Zing and I couldn’t figure out why I was getting little hanging chads (heh, heh, heh, I made a Chad pun). Finally I realized my offset was set to 0 so the cuts weren’t coming together. I didn’t feel like redoing them (and I was running out of purple paper) so I just used my exact-o knife to fix the little areas that were bad. I felt so stupid when I caught my mistake. But I keep it real here at TeamKNK so you get me faults and all.

    I decided the cards weren’t enough (I made 10) so I decided to make a holder for them. I’m sure someone has one of these made or is selling one, but I drew it in Make the Cut:

     

    I really would have liked to use a pretty pattern paper for the folder, but I didn’t have any double-sided purple patterned paper in my million and one drawers of paper so I went with plain card stock. Keeping with the purple theme, I added the little frame and flower from Lettering Delights files.

    Here’s the inside:

     

    Oops. The corners are coming up a bit. I didn’t notice that when I took the pictures. Easy fix.

     

    I took this from the side, so you could see the pocket comes out about a half inch and I was able to slip in 5 cards and envelopes on each side. I also thought it might be cute to put a pen at the bottom. It would be easy to add a little strip to hold the pen.

    If you like this, I will send the file (minus the Lettering Delights stuff) to Sandy and have her add it to this post. I’m sure you can decorate it way better than I did.

    Here is the link to the download the card folder file in MTC, PDF, and KNK formats:

      Loved the card holder. Not just teachers would enjoy receiving this. I have made some cards
      and taken them to the nursing home. Great for the residents who have a tough time writing but
      oftentimes need thank yous or other kinds of cards but don’t have a way to get them.
      Thanks for sharing the file.

    A Banner Day 

    It was such treat for my husband and me to get our very own personalized banner made by Lynn K.  What a wonderful, versatile concept that can be used for so many different occasions!

    When my friend and I were talking about things to make for her son’s graduation celebration, I offered to make a Linked Letter Banner for her.  Since we couldn’t find any fabric with a graduation theme, we decided to use all paper.  A patterned paper for the inner letters and cardstock for the linked letters.  Lynn generously shared the file with me and this is the finished banner.

    Although the inner letters look as if they were cut from camo paper it actually does have graduation themed items and words printed on it.  To keep the letters with open tops – such as N, U, and H - from spreading when the banner is hung, I cut small strips of a rigid clear plastic and glued them across the openings to stabilize the letters.  These are barely visible when the banner is hung.  The red and yellow P in the picture is the school logo.  I manually traced the logo using the KNK Studio software.  It was cut from two layers of card stock and the mustang’s head and the letters were cut from vinyl.  There is a piece of the clear plastic under the opening in the P since part of the mustang’s head is positioned in that opening.

    When Lynn sent me the file for the Linked Letter Banner, she included a couple of triangular flag shapes saying that someone might want to use them as backgrounds for the letters instead of having just the letters themselves.  I thought that was another great idea and started playing with those shapes.  Beginning with the file for the Linked Letter Banner and with Lynn’s approval and blessing, I created a second file in which the flags are linked, there is a smaller flag inside the linked flags, and there are letters with a shadow layer on the stacked flags.  I did some resizing so two of the larger flags (the linked ones) could be cut from a 12 x 12 inch piece of cardstock and resized the other components accordingly.  Then I cut and assembled the banner shown in the picture below.

      

    As you can see, “CONGRATULATIONS” is one l-o-n-g word!  As I was assembling it, I realized it was a bit longer than I had anticipated so I laid it out in the hall and measured it – 10.5 feet!  The logo that is in this picture is the same one that is in the Linked Letter Banner picture above so you can see that the individual flags are larger than the linked letters.  I am curious to see where my friend has hung this when we get to the celebration on Saturday.

    As an alternative, I offered the option shown in the picture below.  This time the word “CONGRATS” measures just under 6 feet.  Perhaps a more managable size.

     As with the Linked Letter Banners, the Linked Flag Banners can be folded so you have an easy to store stack rather than a long unwieldy string.  The picture below shows the word “CONGRATS” folded and ready to transport or store.

    In this picture you can also see the details on the graduation themed paper.   I was able to find brads that matched the red paper so they do not show when in the banner.  If you can’t find matching brads or cute ones like the lolipops that Lynn used, a Sharpie pen in the right color can be used to customize the brads.

    Since I was having fun making things on my KNK Maxx for the graduation celebration and since I already had a file for the school logo, I decided to cut a couple of logos from glittered paper.  Using my KNK Studio software it was easy to scale the logo to a size that just fit a 12 x 12 piece of paper.  I’m not sure the graduate will be very impressed with these logos in bling but his mother and I think they are great!  Here is a picture of one of them.  Again, the clear plastic was used behind the opening in the P.

    Thanks to Lynn K for generously sharing her creativity and talents.

    The file for the Linked Flag Banner can be downloaded from the link below.  Enjoy!

      Judy, these turned out Great! I’m very flattered that you saw value in my alphabet and have tweeked it for those that might want to use it for upcoming graduations. A big thanks for discovering the use of a piece of clear rigid vinyl on those letters such as ‘N, U, H’ that might need a bit of extra support in their center openings.

    Linked Alphabet Banners 

    Through the years I had a metal Christmas banner consisting of linked letters that folded up neatly between holidays.  I enjoyed it so much that I decided to create an alphabet on my 15″ KNK Maxx that would give me diversity and store easily.  The alphabet that I am sharing today has evolved over the past few months.  The first one I designed for New Year’s, but somehow I “lost it” in my computer before I actually cut and used it.  ‘Cupcake Judy’ and her husband, John, came to visit this spring.  Before they came I got busy, so I could have it hanging when they arrived.  They have a March anniversary, so when I saw this neat fabric I knew it would be perfect.

    The base letters are cut from poster board.  The top letters are 5″ tall and are cut from quilter’s weight fabric that had Lite Steam-a-Seam2 ironed on the back.  The letters cut from fabric were applied individually to the base letters with a dry iron.  The single shamrock has a top layer of glittered cardstock. It was originally designed with links, but didn’t work as I envisioned, so I removed the links and adhered it to the wall with temporary adhesive.  Small nails were used to hang the 2 banners.  These banners and those that follow are assembled with small brads inserted in the pre-cut holes at the end of each link.

    When John and Judy left, I folded the banner on itself so they could safely take it home in their luggage.

    While Judy was here, we went to visit Sandy.  Of course I wanted to take a banner for her to see, so I made this one:

    When I showed it to my husband, he said why didn’t I use a “K” for K-N-K.  So, I was back to the drawing board and made this one. The top letters in both of these are glittered cardstock, although the photography doesn’t show it in these pictures.

    I was challenged with both of these to make them hang level and be supported by the top design, which is also included in the free files.  To accomplish this, I cut the top design 4 times and glued them together and also added additional poster board horizontal strips on the blue and purple rows.  Only with a Klic-n-Kut can we cut with that kind of accuracy!   I took the KUT-KUT-KUT to Sandy and I kept CUT-CUT-CUT.  Since then, mine has been hanging in my craft room and hasn’t held up well as the 2nd and 3rd rows are bowing.  A PFD is included with this post that will show you what happened and how I solved the problem with popsicle sticks.  Now, Sandy hasn’t said anything, but I think I probably need to retrieve hers and ‘fix it’.

    Easter came in April and I made a banner to go with a metal sculpture that hangs in my entryway.  The top layer is purple glittered cardstock, mounted on a base alphabet of gold metallic cardstock.

    Lastly, I have made a Happy Birthday banner.  For pictures, I have it hanging on my fireplace mantel.  It looks so pretty there that I am going to leave it until the middle of June for my husband’s birthday.  The top letters are glittered cardstock and the brads used are small lollipops.  Ribbons are attached to the ends for tying to small nails.

    This has been a fun project with lots of possibilities that I am sure I will use many times over.  I hope you will enjoy it also.  Be sure to check the next posting to see what ‘Cupcake Judy’ has done with it.

    Graduation Cupcake Wrappers Revisited 

    In addition to making name tags and announcement/invitation cards for my friend’s son’s graduation party, I decided they needed some special cupcake wrappers.  I started with the four cupcake wrappers that have been available for download since I designed them in 2009.  The first thing I did was to update the closure on all of the wrappers.  I like the hook and slot closure much better than the winged tab and slot version.  The hook and slot is so much easier to put together and can be easily ‘unhooked’ if some one wants to keep the cupcake wrapper.  I then updated the date in the #2 (in the picture below) wrappers to 2012 instead of 2009. 

    I had been requested to create wrappers that people could cut from pretty paper – that didn’t have any detail in the main part of the wrappers but looked like wrappers #1 and #4.  Unfortuntely, if you cut those files from light colored patterned papers it is sometimes difficult to read the wording on the top edge of the wrapper.  My solution was to modify the wrapper by removing all of the wording on the top edge and to make it just a bit larger.  Then it became a sleeve which fit on the bottom part of the wrapper but the words are easy to read since they are a solid color.  In the picture below you can see the two separate pieces.

      

    In order to keep the two layers together, I assembled them as if they were one piece.  That is, I held both pieces together and put both hooks through both slots at the same time.  Then I pulled the sleeve down away from the solid piece at about the middle, applied some glue, and then put the sleeve back into place.  That way it was secured in two places. 

    For the #1 cupcake wrapper, I gave it some extra interest by adding the graduate’s name, the year, and the school mascot from the school logo in outdoor vinyl.  The outdoor vinyl from KNK-USA is easy to cut and work with.  It is also shiny which makes it stand out on the matt finish cardstock.   My friend said that those wrappers might never see a cupcake.  I’m thinking she liked them.

    The sleeve and the vinyl idea could be applied to any of the other cupcake wrappers that have a large plain area at the bottom.  Other embellishments such as flowers, ribbons, rhinestones, cut cardstock pieces, photos, etc., could be used as well.  Just be sure that you add about 1/8″ to the length of the sleeve so it fits around the inner wrapper.

    Updated files for these wrappers and the sleeve are in the link below:

    AHOY! A Beach Themed Card Swap 


    My local group of crafting friends do cards swaps and our last one was based on a beach theme. I found a really cute card idea on the Internet to “borrow from” and proceeded to create a very similar card using KNK Studio and my 15″ KNK Maxx.

    First, I traced the sea creatures from the photo using the polyarc/manual tracing function in KNK Studio. After cutting the crab, octopus, and starfish from three different colors of cardstock, I then used embossing folders to add different textures to the creatures. This was the first time I had used my Epic embossing machine since buying it several years ago! How sad is that? lol

    The eyes are obvious… I glued on googly eyes. Behind the “smile holes” in each creature I glued a small black cardstock oval, also cut on the Maxx. And then each creature was pop-dotted to a light blue card.

    For the water, I also used KNK Studio’s polyarc function to design some waves and then I cut these waves from blue paper. The waves seemed a bit “dull” so I inked them with Ranger Broken China distress ink.

    For the word “AHOY”, I picked a font called Feetish and cut the letters from Sookwang double-sided adhesive sheets. Without removing the letters from the surrounding waste, I carefully peeled off the back sheet of the parts I needed to press down to the card first. After arranging on top of the wave, I then removed the surrounding waste, peeled off the top sheet of the cut letters and then applied gold colored embossing powder. However, I did not apply heat because it causes the powder to turn a deep gold. I preferred the raw look which more closely resembled, in my opinion, sand with sun hitting it:

    So, there you have it! Wish I could share the cutting files, but because I used someone’s manufactured card, I will not share. Maybe this will be an incentive for some of you to give the manual tracing feature in KNK Studio a try? It’s VERY powerful and actually kind of fun and relaxing at the same time! Kind of like a day at the beach!

        We do not sell it… but we should! I’ll talk to Chad about it. Meanwhile, Joe Rotella, another dealer of ours, really likes this kind: Cut Bond Create from USArtQuest. I need to get some and compare it to the Sookwang.

      I LOVE THIS CARD!!!! I am at the beach now and can’t wait to get home to make this card. I guess that means that crafting means more to me than being at the beach. LOL Go figure!!! :)

      TOO CUTE! That would have been a perfect card for that cruise we took!

      So adorable!! I have a niece that loves mermaids and ocean creatures – and wants to grow up to work as a marine biologist and let me tell you, she would LOVE this!

      Humm, never thought about the embossing. It really added a lot to the card, with out making it too busy. What a great idea. Love the sand font…

      FUN! I like your little sea creatures! The googly eyes are a great touch :D

      Great card Sandy. I just got back from Myrtle Beach last night and I need to make this card as a thank you to my friend. Love it.

      Love the critters! I have (only a tiny bit left now ;/) a sheet of shiny blue “waves” that would be perfect for the cardstock for this design! Wish I had more! Where did you find the Feetish font? I’d love to have it!
