Quaran-TEAM Teacher Appreciation

It's Teacher Appreciation Week!  As with so many other things in life right now, this week of celebrating teachers is going to look so different.   But that doesn't mean we can't show our teachers how much we love and appreciate them!

My son's elementary school is doing Spirit Packet Pickup days every Monday between now and the last packet pickup of the year.  Today is Rainbow Spirit Day, so I thought it would be fun to make a fun card for the ENTIRE staff.  Yes, it's teacher appreciate week, but if it wasn't for ALL of the staff throughout our district, Distant Learning would not be as successful as it has been.

I think this is what you can call a $200 card!  I used SEVERAL different stamp sets, inks and supplies.  I think these are my favorite cards to make!

"You Make A" comes from Broadway Birthday, "Great" comes from To A Wild Rose, "Team" comes from For The Win,"Thank You For All You Do" comes from Rooted in Nature, and the fun little sunbursts come from Rise & Shine.  How awesome it that so many stamp sets can come together to make a fabulous card for some amazing teachers?!?!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, Whisper White

Ink ~ Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel, Gorgeous Grape

Stamp Sets ~ Broadway Birthday, To A Wild Rose, For The Win, Rooted In Nature, Rise & Shine

Other Supplies ~ Hand-Lettered Prose

I hope you are able to show a teacher in your life how much you appreciate them this week!  Make their week with a handmade card, their favorite coffee or lunch delivery...or just a simple text or email letting them know just how much they mean to you.

I hope you all have a great week!

Happy Stamping!

Birthday MVP

Welcome back to Monday Montage!!!  We have another fabulous hop in store for you this week!  Make sure you click on the links below so you don't miss any of the creations...we promise you will love them all! 

My baby is 8 today and I'm still trying to figure out how this is possible!   I feel like I was just bring him home from the hospital!  For any you who know my sweet Owen, you know he is a BUSY kid and ALWAYS on the move.  On any given day, you can find him in our yard playing soccer, hitting baseballs for our dogs to chase or throwing a football around with anyone who will play with him.  My dad found some golf clubs at a yard sale earlier in the summer that fit him perfectly, so he's also picked up on golfing too!  He may exhaust me, but he also keeps me {feeling} young!  
With his love for ALL the sports, For the Win was the perfect stamp set to create his birthday card this year!  I had so much fun making a shaker card last week, I wanted to create another one for his special day.  This was so much fun to make!

I rediscovered my love for Pacific Point this week...It's such a bright and cheerful color!  It was just the color this card needed, along with a few other of my favorites from the Brights collection.

I stamped and cut out each of the balls to add to the shaker frame.  I decided these weren't quite enough, so I punched out some stars using the Twinkle Builder and created my own confetti.  Now I just need to figure out what to do with all of the leftover moons!  I finished off the card with the fun Birthday MVP image, along with the pennant and trophy, all which were heat embossed and fussy cut.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Pacific Point, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede, Whisper White, Basic Black, Window Sheets

Ink ~ Real Red, Basic Black, Granny Apple Green, VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ For the Win

Other Supplies ~ Layering Circleds Dies, Twinkle Builder Punch, Clear Embossing Powder, White Embossing Powder.
