Fun Fold Friday- Everyday Thanks Explosion Teacher Card

I am in LOVE with this Teacher Explosion Card and had so much fun making it! I work  during the day at an Elementary School and know how hard teachers work and how well loved they are from their students! So with school just around the corner, the Everyday Thanks stamp set was perfect! 

 

This card has "belly band" to help get it closed. You just slide it off to see the inside of the card. 

This pencil has to be my favorite part. Somehow I colored it perfectly with my Stampin' Blends (see video) and fussy cut it out with my Paper Snips. 

What makes this card so much fun is the DSP explosion part in the inside! This card was inspired by one of my favorite Demonstrators, Tami White. She shared it a couple of years ago using different products. 

Lastly, can I just say how happy I am to have Pretty Peacock back?! I was so sad when it went and it is truly one of my favorite colors to stamp with and even wear. 

You can make this card too using the measurements below and shopping from my online store!
