Big Shot Wednesday - Week #2 Serif Essentials Alphabet set

A - B - C - it's as easy as 1 - 2 - 3

Here is another great idea for this Big Shot die set.  What kid wouldn't love to learn their ABC's using these flash cards!

The cards were cut 3" x 4-1/2" using Very Vanilla card stock.  We rounded the corners, sponged with Creamy Caramel and embellished.

The letters were cut out of Basic Black, Real Red and Pink Pirouette card stock.  We embellished with ribbon, buttons, stamps....you can make these as easy or complicated as you desire.  You might even get the kids to help you so they have a vested interested in them!

We though we would share another great "teaching" idea.  We're sure most of you had those plastic magnetic alphabets you had on the refrigerator for the kids to spell and play with.  Why not create your own by die cutting the entire alphabet from magnetic sheets.  You can use card stock or DSP for each letter.  If you don't want the entire alphabet, every child loves to see their name spelled out.

 

Here they are shown on the refrigerator but they could be used on a magnetic board or file cabinet in the office, a recipe stand, any metal object that these will stick to.  You can embellish these but since we designed ours for little fingers, we left them plain.
