Stephanie 
Steph created this adorable card perfect for the special teacher(s) in your life! She used both "ABC Background" and "Teacher Notes".

DoBea
I absolutely love the way DoBea paired "Great Big Greetings" with funky elements to create instant eye candy!

Jinny
Isn't this card amazing? I love the antique vibe, and the way she pulled the gingham ribbon and rustic twine really pulled the images from "Teacher Notes" into the paper used.

Julie
Julie is always my CAS (clean & simple) inspiration! How clever to circle all the "hi"'s in "ABC Background"! Love how the design now doubles as the sentiment.

Brenda
What teacher wouldn't LOVE this adorable card?! Brenda used "Teacher Notes" for her sentiment and used "ABC Background" for interest - just a few extra elements and voila!

Angelica
I've been having a lot of fun playing with some of my personal favorite images and turning them into SVG cut files. I'm still getting things just right, but be watching for their release soon! I paired the fun slanted border from "Great Big Greetings" with a coordinating sentiment for my sweet chihuahua.

Jen
This big, bold, and BEAUTIFUL card is so gorgeous, isn't it? I love how she used the border stamps to tie the card together with the great big "Hello" from "Great Big Greetings"!
