Today's JustRite Friday Challenge is to make inexpensive gifts. Perfect timing, since this was Teacher Appreciation Week at our school! Here's the card I made for our fabulously sweet 2nd grade teacher:
To accent this pretty Webster's Petite Paper, I used JustRite's new Kaleidoscope center to stamp a focal point in Spun Sugar Distress Ink. Then I overstamped it with the What's Cookin' border:
The image was die cut and matted with Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circle Nestabilities dies. A striped border strip of the reverse side of the paper was punched with Martha Stewart's Circle Dot edger punch and placed along the lower edge of the Memory Box Sugar Plum notecard. The focal point was accented with a chocolate KaiserCraft pearl.
You can find all the details of the coordinating gift bottle of gourmet ice cream parlor mixed jelly beans over at the JustRite blog and I hope you'll play along in the challenge this week!

The card! Looks simple and sweet (even if it wasn't simple) :)
