This sample for today was inspired by my daughter's kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Williams!!! When I saw the measuring tape in this new set, I knew a teacher card was coming. To make the measuring tape look like an authentic ruler, I had to find some paper that looked like wood grain. I clear embossed the measuring tape and then sponged over the whole image to show the numbers and the 1/8th inch markings. I finished off my card with some die cut letters and a heart punch. Did I mention that I have been die cutting for the classroom all year. Mrs. Williams and the teacher's aide had been tracing and hand cutting shapes for years!
I had to make another card when I saw this sentiment! Those fabulous chipboard buttons and lace trim have been keeping my company at my desk for some time now. The Sew..What's New? sentiment and the faux stitching with a simple little sketch is exactly what they have been waiting for.
Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to head over to Tangii's blog to see what treasure she has today!

Really cute cards. I love the thank you card! I like how you did the measuring tape sponging.
I love both of these cards. Really love how the rulers turned out.
What awesome cards; both so creative!
Love that thank-you card. Matting the tape measures really shows them off nicely. And your second card is so pretty with the purple color (one of my favorites) and buttons.
Toni, I love the first card...so realistic. I am sure teacher loves it. That is great wood grain paper, too.
The second card is so pretty and the chipboard buttons and pretty lace are fab. It is great to get to use something that has been longing to be put to good use, isn't it? :-)
VERY cool cards! I love the broken measuring tape with the THANKS on the top one with the heart. And I love the purple lace ribbon and buttons on the bottom one. :) Janis

I love both your cards Toni-the first one where you made the measurign tape to look like a ruler is fabulous-I am sure the teacher loved it
The 2nd card is dressed up beautifully
Great cards! I think your "pinked" measuring tapes are so cleaver!
Sew nice. I like the split rulers & lace with buttons. Wish I knew how to sew. My mother was a wonderful seamstress. I took Home Ec sewing in high school.
Had jury duty summons today. 25 people were selected. I was left in remaining 28 group and after waiting for some time we were told we were not needed & could leave.

Wonderful teacher card--the measuring tape turned ruler is perfect.
Your second card is so pretty with the lace.
These are so creative. I especially love the ruler card. I'll have to tuck that away in my memory. PS. You text behaved on your post today. I can read it with no problems with it running off to the right. Go figure. I bet you didn't do anything different. I hope you have a blessed day.
Great job on both cards. Love the color technique on the ruler card.
Toni, these cards are fab! I love the rulers and the buttons with the sentiments. Great job!!!
Wow, very pretty cards. But I have to say I really love the second card with the lavender colors and I've never been a lavender fan. But - it's really lovely!!
Great cards - teacher one is great!
very pretty like very much the frist one
but they are all very pretty
I love both cards! I like how you focus upon the sayings!
So clever - I would have never thought to use the tape measure that way - ingenious!
Your Thank You card is so cute, Love it. But I fell for the sew what's new....the colors, lace and buttons...oh so cute! Thank You
Great cards, especially the 2nd one. Thanks for sharing
Wow - what great cards using this set.
I REALLY like your first design, Toni. Very fresh and clean.
Great cards, love the purple and clever sentiment : )
