Teacher Gift

This is the first thing that I tried to get published in PaperCrafts Magazine. It was for the Holiday Gifts issue and then the Nov/Dec issue. It didn't make it but I forgot to post about it until now.

It's a gift I made for my son's Kindergarten teacher. I gave it to her along with this card.

I'm still really proud of this. I cut out every one of those leaves by hand, obviously. ;) The acorns were clear embossed and cut out as well.

Here is the back:

The felt die-cut hides the staples I used to affix a piece of twill ribbon between the back of the project and the stand.

Thanks for stopping by!
