Teach & Inspire Revisited...
August 01, 2015
It's August 1st, and hard as it is to believe, it's time to start thinking about school. I know! I just registered my son for high school a few weeks ago and I'll register my girls in a few days! I don't think I'm ready to get back to the grind, but it's coming...ready or not.
To get you a little more in the school mood, today the Papertrey Ink Sr Team is featuring projects using the Teach & Inspire set. On the first of each month we dust off an older set and bring you some fresh inspiration, and this month is Teach & Inspire...
I created a card and a bookmark using this set...
For the bookmark, I started off with the Basic Bookmark I die as my base. I impressed the smallest hexagon from the Mat Stack 7 die collection into the center of the bookmark (just run through your machine using the embossing mats and your usual embossing sandwich). Inside this impressed rectangle I stamped the "teachers" sentiment from the Teach & Inspire set as well as several pencils, using a bit of masking to keep them inside the impressed hexagon.
For the backside, I diecut another Basic Bookmark I so that I could adhere them back-to-back for a clean finish on both sides. On the back-side bookmark I impressed another hexagon and stamped this great sentiment from the Teach & Inspire set, as well as more pencils, this time filling the area outside of the hexagon. A few lengths of red baker's twine threaded through the hole finishes the top of the bookmark.
I created a coordinating card using some more elements from Teach & Inspire, along with the Enclosed: Apple dies. This sentiment from the set fits perfectly in the space above the diecut "thanks" in the apple.
There is a great little chevron element in the Teach & Inspire set which is great for building backgrounds. I stamped it several times on the lower portion of my card and topped it off with a bit of twine.

That wraps up my projects for today, but you can hop around to the other Sr Team girls to see what new projects they've created using the Teach & Inspire set...
