Back to School Postcard

Class lists get posted this afternoon, so I can now mail off my "Welcome to Ms. Jones' Class" postcards to my new students!  I like to do this every year so that they get something special in the mail before the first day. I made these postcards by welding together images from several Cricut cartridges:  a 4 3/4" apple from Cheerful Seasons, a 4 1/4" worm from Create a Critter, and a 2" book from Recess.  They are a postcard style card, so I can just write my message on the back.

I added some fun details to make these extra cute.  The apple was run through the Cuttlebug with the Seeing Spots embossing folder.  I hid the face on the worm with my Gypsy so that I could stamp a face from the Peachy Keen Larger Critter Face Stamps, and then I added some Glossy Accents to the eyeglasses.  For the book, I stamped the pages with Papertrey Ink's Background Basics:  Farm & Barn stamp set.  To make this very subtle, I used Fine Linen Ink and stamped it onto scratch paper before stamping onto the actual cut.  The sentiment is from My Creative Time's My Teacher Rocks stamp set.
