This card is one of three that’s included in my exclusive tutorials which are FREE with the purchase of the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle from my online store. (*See my Just Stampin’ Rewards below.)

Sunflowers in our area are in full bloom! My husband and I took a little field trip to a nearby farm to view the amazing sunflower fields. It was truly breathtaking! Here are a few photos.

I cut some sunflowers to make a few bouquets with coordinating tags.

Chalkboard Easel Card Tutorial

Yesterday I posted several card ideas for teachers, school employees, or your favorite student. Back to school this year is certainly different during the current pandemic. With so many changes facing teachers, students, and parents, it’s nice to let them know you’re thinking of them.  Everyone loves to feel appreciated and these easel cards are quick & easy to make to brighten someone’s day!

Stampin' Up! In Good Taste thank you and inspirational chalkboard easel card card ideas for teachers or students - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Here’s the details to create a chalkboard easel card:

Measurements

  • Card Base (Thick Very Vanilla): 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
  • Basic Black: 3 3/4 x 3 3/4
  • In Good Taste Designer Series Paper: 2 strips 3/4 x 4 1/4, 2 strips 3/4 x 5 1/2

Directions

  1. Fold and burnish the card base.
  2. Line up the open end of the card base at the 3/4″ mark (along the right side of the trimmer) and cut up to the 1″ mark.  Flip the card and do the same on the other side of the card.
  3. Turn the card sideways so the cut marks line up at the 1″ mark (along the right side of the trimmer). Start at 3/4″ and cut to the 3 1/2″ mark (to remove piece between the cut lines).
  4. Stamp sentiment on black cardstock with Versamark Ink and emboss with white embossing powder using the Heat Tool.
  5. Use a sponge or tissue to dab White Craft Ink around the sentiment. Swirl in a circular motion as if you were erasing a chalkboard.
  6. Adhere black piece to card base.
  7. Adhere DSP strips along the top and bottom first, then adhere DSP along the sides overlapping the top and bottom piece.
  8. Embellish chalkboard as desired.

Here’s a little more details for each one…

Stamp sets: Harvest Hellos, Celebrate Sunflowers. Die cut letters using Playful Alphabet Dies. Create medal with Layering Circles Dies, Stitched Stars Dies, and Misty Moonlight 1/4″ Ribbon.

Stamp Sets: Nothing Better Than, Daisy Lane, Forever Fern. Embellish with Stitched Stars Dies.

Stamp Sets: Free As A Bird, Ornate Thanks, Good Morning Magnolia. Die Cut greenery from Sunflowers Dies. Punch vase from Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper using Vases Builder Punch. Create banner using Banners Pick A Punch. Flower punched from Confetti Flowers Border Punch.

Stamp Sets: Massive Thanks, Good Morning Magnolia. Create Banner using Banners Pick A Punch and Stitched Stars Dies.

Create a coordinating Post It Note Gift using the Apple Builder Punch and Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. Click HERE or on the image below to view the original post for directions.

Framed Sunflowers Card and Tealight Candle Box Gift Idea

I can’t stop creating with the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle! It is such a versatile set! It’s on my list of Favorite Things from the annual catalog and today’s projects are just another reason why! I love making cards to coordinate with gifts!

Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers and Well Written gift set idea for a friend - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

It’s easy to see the inspiration for my card and box came from the adorable tea light candles I purchased from Amazon. I love that 4 candles fit perfectly in the Mini Pizza Boxes for a cute little gift to “brighten” someone’s day!

Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Mini Pizza Box gift idea for a friend - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The sentiment from the Paper Pumpkin Sunshine kit was perfect to go with the candles! I stamped the small sunflowers in Bumblebee Ink and colored them with So Saffron and Cinnamon Cider Blends. I used the Layering Squares Dies to cut out the sentiment and scalloped layer. It makes a nice statement when you open the box. And you don’t even have to untie the gorgeous gingham ribbon to get inside! I just wrapped that around the box, tied a bow in front, and secured with a Mini Glue Dot.

I am really missing getting together with my friends!!! The Well Written Dies (and coordinating Well Said Stamp Set) have sentiments for so many occasions. This one is simply stated!

Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers and Well Written Dies missing you card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The key to making this card easy was using the new Adhesive Sheets (found on page 172 in the annual catalog). Trust me…you need to add these to your next order!!! I easily adhered my cardstock to the adhesive sheet, ran the sunflower die and the sentiments through the die cut machine, removed the adhesive backing and adhered to the card! So simple!!! I added an embossed layer with the Scripty 3D embossing folder.  I love how this simple step adds a little texture! I used the Stitched Rectangles to make my frame and cut strips of the new Foam Adhesive Sheets to adhere the frame to the card.

I wanted to carry the framed sunflower look from the card to my gift box.  I used the Layering Squares Dies and the same technique with the Adhesive Sheets for the sunflower and word die.

So, what do you think of today’s projects? Are you missing someone you could send this card to?

Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers and Well Written gift set idea for a friend - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Here’s what I used on today’s projects:

Stamp Sets: Celebrate Sunflowers (Bundle), Paper Pumpkin Sunshine  Papers:  Thick Whisper White, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Whisper White  Inks: Cinnamon Cider, Early Espresso, So Saffron and Cinnamon Cider Blends  Accessories:  Sunflower Dies, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Layering Squares Dies, Well Written Dies, Scripty 3D Embossing Folder, Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon, Adhesive Sheets, Foam Adhesive Sheets, Stampin’ Seal, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Mini Pizza Box

Here’s a few things to know about the new store design:
With Stampin’ Up!’s new site, login changes are taking place. Your saved login and passwords will not automatically apply.  If you do not remember your password, you can use the forgot password link to reset it. There will be new links to existing categories and products. Old links will bring you to the main store. You may also find a few links on my blog from posts prior to today no longer link directly to the product, sometimes it may go to store home page. If this happens, simply type the product name, or item number into the search to bring it up.
If you would like to place your order with me (and I hope you will!!!), please make sure my name appears in the upper-left-hand corner of your screen. If you’re on an iPhone, iPad, or tablet, this section will be at the bottom.  If there is not a selected demonstrator in this area, a demonstrator will be chosen for you. I want to be able to continue to serve you and offer you my rewards, tutorials etc., but I can’t do that if you’re accidentally shopping with someone else.
Have a great day!
Stay safe! Stay well!
