教師節快要到了,我原本打算如同去年一般,做幾張卡片分送兒女的幼稚園老師,後來看到 Hero Arts 網站內有一個影片(請見:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVivYkPJPrQ),敘述 Hero Arts 的卡片設計師 Jennifer 協助她的3歲兒子做卡片的過程,我不禁想,快要 6 歲的女兒應該也可以自己做卡片送給老師吧!
所以,我就準備好卡片底紙和印章,讓女兒自己來做卡片。
首先,她蓋上小鹿斑比的印章,把它剪下來,上色,再貼到卡紙上。然後,在內頁寫上她想寫給老師的話。最後,再在卡片正面畫上其他細節,迅速確實地完成四張卡片(她的動作實在比她媽快多了)!
After watching the vedio(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVivYkPJPrQ)in the webside of Hero Arts,I think my girl could also make cards for her teachers herself.
So, I prepared the patterned paper and stamps, let Jo-Jo do her job.
She stamped the image "Bambi" first, then cut it, colored it, and pasted it to the bakground paper.
圖一:女兒做的卡片和內頁。
This is one of the cards she made for her teachers.

圖二:她用超白筆寫內頁,因為底紙是暗色的。她製作卡片時,真是超專心的。
She concentrated on making cards, so she finished her works so fast.

圖三:這是半成品,因為卡片封面的構圖尚未完成(我當時也很好奇,她到底會畫什麼)。內頁的構圖倒是都差不多,都是「Jo-Jo love …」,然後在右上角畫一張郵票花。
When Jo-Jo was making her cards, I was really curious what she will write on inside of the cards.
However, I did not do anything, just wait to see.
圖四:這是我借給 JoJo的印章。她選上小鹿斑比的印章。這是Unity Stamps 家去年11月的套組印章"enjoy YOUR STORY...laugh",印章詳圖請見:http://unitystampco.com/stamps/1537-KOM11_enjoy_YOUR_STORYlaugh_November_Kit_of_the_Month。
This stamp set is from "Unity Stamps. Please refer to the abovementioned link about the details of this stamp set.

圖五:四張卡片都完工了,來個大合照。This is the picture of the cards made by JoJo.

想起去年時,還是我替JoJo做教師節卡片(請見"purse cards"的部落格文章:http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/happy-peipei/article?mid=228&prev=258&next=207&l=f&fid=13),JoJo只會寫她自己的名字和老師的名字,今年的教師節卡片卻幾乎都是她自己獨立完成,看來她真是長大不少了。
I remember JoJo could only write her own name and teachers' names when I made cards for her teachers last year. (please refer to the link "purse cards" abovementioned.) However, she made her works almost 90% by herself this year. Suddenly I realize one thing--she just grows up before my konwing.
