Today's card was made for Crumbgrabber's (our kindergardener) teacher. Teacher's Apple is still one of my top five favorite stamp sets ever by PTI. I also used Outlines Alphabet on the black CS for the background. I was hoping it would look like a chalkboard, but maybe the letters are too close together for that...? The green panel was embossed with the Canvas/Linen impression plate from PTI too. Apple was colored with Copics. I was completely inspired by the talented Debbie Olson's card!
So, on to the blog candy, right?!
One lucky commenter will win this:
Yep, their very own Outlines Alphabet set!! My mistake is your win! (I accidentally purchased two Outlines Alphabet sets a few months ago and have been saving it for blog candy. Today is the day!)
All you have to do is jump through 6 burning hoops in your best high heels. Um, no. *chuckle* (unless your name is Ted, then the high heels are mandatory!) *brawaahaaha*
Seriously though, just leave me a comment and I'll have random.org choose a winner Sunday night 8 PM EST.

Oh Dana, what a great prize. That set has been on my wishlist since its release! Your card is fabulous, that background is perfect as it is! (A bit wobbly on these stilletos I might add.) LOL.
This set is awesome just for what I've seen you do with it. And I would totally CASE this card and give credit if I were to win one. I love the chalkboard effect. Awesome teacher card!
I look for your posts each morning and since I am on the West coast I always find a new post. You really make some awesome cards. (yes, I think I get the "orange" that you love). I also like the posts about your family. I feel I get to know about you a little. Your son's graduation photo is so adorable as silly as these "graduations" may seem.

hi Dana! What fun!! I follow your blog everyday (through Google Reader) and absolutely love your style! Every card is just beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win a set (straight from my wish list)!! :)
I recently discovered your blog and am loving looking through your archives for amazing inspiration. Thanks for sharing, and I love what you came up with on this card! --Elena
Love your card! I love the teacher's apple set. I'm glad I'm not the only one who buys duplicates ;) thanks for the chance to win.
Fabulous card! It's so well "put together". The background truly looks like a chalkboard, the apple is gorgeous and the sentiment fits so well on the diecuts. Great job!!
Oh, I think the background is perfect! The whole card is great! One question, though: How did you get the bottom of the green panel diecut like that?
What a fantastic card. I'm sure this is one card that will be shown off to the rest of the staff. It's gorgeous. Thanks for the chance to win.
Dana, The background looks like a "purchased" paper! Fabulous. I bet Crumbgrabber will love this card!
Love the chalkboard look you created with the letters/cardstock/ink! The reds pop out so well against the rest of the card. :)
I love this card!! I dont have kids yet, so I dont get to make teacher cards, but I do love looking at them =)
P.S. I wholeheartedly blame you for making me purchase not ONE, but THREE stamp sets from Practicing Creativity Designs. Why oh why did I ever go to their gallery??? he he! =)
I LOVE PTI too ! And I love that set - especially as a teacher ! Thanks for the opportunity and the inspiration!
Pick me! Pick me!! SNORT! Seriously, this card is perfection! The BG totally looks like a chalkboard! Teacher's Apple is one of my ALL TIME FAVE sets from PTI and darn you, Dana, if I don't win this set I'm going to buy it....ENABLER!!!
Genius with the background paper. I think I need those stamps so I can CASE!! Love the card!
Wow! This card is so well thought out! I LOVE the colors together. That green is such an awesome shade! And... I LOVE your 'chalkboard background'! Like I've said before, you have the BEST toys! ;)
Dana - I love the card. I totally thought chalkboard for the background the instant that I saw it. Your blog is always one of the first that I check because I love your style. Can't tell you how many of your cards that I've drooled over (in a good way!). Thanks for the inspiration!
Dana, this card is awesome! I love the colors and that background you created is stellar! I've been eyeing that set but couldn't justify buying another alphabet set. However, if I won, that would be AMAZING! :) Thanks for the chance to win!
I think the background looks just like a chalkboard. This is a perfect card for a teacher. Thanks for the chance to win-I've had my eye on this set!
Hi Dana, I love Teachers Apple too and your card is incredible! I would love to win the Outlines Alphabet set cause my two girls have very unique spelling of their names and I could use the set to create personalized stuff...endless possibilities. Thanks for the chance to win some Blog Candy...your generosity will be rewarded! Good Karma, brings more good things!
It definitely looks like a chalkboard! I love all the placement of the letters and the color combination you used is perfect. I'm loving all the little details you put into this card like the added little dots of white ink on the border, the stitching and the cut out apple. Thanks for your generosity, I would love to win this set!
Fabulous card, Dana! It seriously looks like a chalkboard and your Copic colored apple is perfect!
No, it definitely screams out chalkboard to me! I love your design - it's a fabulous background!
Thanks so much for your scrummy-licious candy too! You're far too kind!
Hugs,
Aimes
