So my sister calls me the other day and asks for my help. My nephew's teacher asked her to make a card for the entire class to sign for the student teacher that has been helping her out this year. My sister asked if I had any ideas and I immediately thought of Jennifer's FABULOUS Dimensional apple tag. I thought it might be fun to do a supper sized apple. :)
Here is the card. It doesn't look too big in the pic but it is huge. I took a poster board, cut it in half, and then folded one half to create the card. It is plenty big for his class to sign....
Jennifer used an apple die for her tag but there is no apple die this big so I created one. I found an apple outline image during a web search, printed it, and then made an enlarged copy of it. (If you try this, just remember whatever image you use, MUST be a mirror image when you fold it in half!) I traced the image eight times onto red cardstock. Then I cut each one out, folded each in half and starting adhering each one to each other. Such a fun technique.
The photos really don't do it justice. It is so neat in real life...
For the "Thank You" at the bottom, I just drew a sentence strip and wrote Thank You on it. Easy Peasy...
Aren't teachers the best?! I was a Preschool teacher for many years and I know first hand how much it is appreciated when all of your hard work is noticed. :)
Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
