She's back in the classroom this week getting things ready for when the high school
See that cool swirl up the side of the card? I used the leftover piece from when I cut the swirl for this card, like a stencil. Using a sponge dauber, I "stenciled" some VersaMark ink along the edge. It looked pretty good as a watermark, but I thought it would stand out more if it was heat embossed with clear EP. Kind of reminiscent of a steam swirl, don't you think?

What a fun card -- I love the swirl!
Cindy, this card is the bomb. I use ALL my scraps in one place or another, and my gal pals poke fun at me all the time.
I've used the two part bird punch as a template to sponge the bird on the inside of my cards, but never thought about embossing something. I love this coffee set and I LOVE your swirls. Too cool.
I'm following you too and I added you to my favorites so I can come back and see all your awesome creations!
The swirl is awesome! I love the sentiment, too, on the left. My symmetrical self doesn't think of stuff like that! Coffee is critical to a successful day of teaching!
What a cute and fun blog. Thanks for following me. I am now following you and can't wait to come back and see all of your creations.
Have a great day.
What a precious card! Love the pretty lace ribbon. Following so I can see your terrific creations as they happen! Blessings, Diane

Super cute! I LOVE that swirl. It's goes perfectly with this set. And the lace is so pretty. I still need to get me some of that.
I wish my freshman son had your daughter as his English teacher. So far, that's the only class he dislikes. A good teacher makes ALL the difference!!
I love this card..simple yet elegant ! You hit the mark again Cindy (bowing)
Great way to use that die scrap! I've saved mine too - was gonna use for a scrappage border, but now that I see your emboss stencil....hmmm :)
