Thank Your Teachers ~ Monday Montage

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! 

I'm kicking off the start of Teacher Appreciation Week with a simple card and a cute gift basket for Owen's teachers.  His teachers have been so amazing this year!  As we near the end of the school year, I know the days get more and more difficult for both the kids and the teachers.  I thought a fun little treat would help them get through the week, especially since it's state testing week!

I am so sad to see Picked for You retire.  This set is SO GOOD for teachers and friends, of just to say thank you.  This may be a set that I have to hang onto.

We made these cards in my stamp class this past weekend.  It was a great opportunity to show just how amazing the Stamparatus is for multilayer stamp sets like this.  My customers loved just how EASY the Stamparatus was to use for perfect stamping!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Whisper White

Ink ~ Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Memento

Stamp Set ~ Picked for You

Other Supplies ~ Basket Weave Embossing Folder, Linen Thread

Owen is so excited to deliver these to his teachers this week.  Don't forget to thank your teachers this week!

Next up in hop is my crafty friend Cathy...her creations are so awesome!  Or if you'd like to take a hop back, you'll find the amazingly talented Amy...I love her style!

Repeat After Me - #tgifc170 Inspiration Challenge

Oh my goodness...how can it be Friday again already?!?  My days of summer break are coming to an end so quickly!  I am blessed beyond all measures to have been able to spend a better part of summer off with my boys.  We haven't gone on any big trips, but we have made lots of memories right here at home.  While I am sad for my summer break to come to an end, I am also looking forward to going back to work and getting my boys back into their school routine in just a few weeks.

Speaking of school, this weeks TGIF Challenges Inspiration Challenge helped me to create a cute back to school card for Owen's teacher.  This weeks challenge is "Repeat After Me"...so we could stamp the same image multiple times without re-inking your stamp or use the same image multiple times for a repetitive look.

I chose to stamp the same image multiple times in different colors, using the amazing new Picked For You stamp set.  I was so happy to see a stamp set that was geared towards teacher appreciation!  We don't thank our teachers often enough and this set gives us an excellent reason to do so any time of year.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Brights DSP

Ink ~ Real Red, Blushing Bride, Soft Seafoam, Granny Apple Green, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso

Stamp Set ~ Picked For You

Other Supplies ~ Real Red 1/8" Solid Ribbon, Basket Weave Embossing Folder

These apples are too much fun to stamp!  It's fun play with different color combinations to come up with the perfect apple.  

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope that you'll play along with us at TGIF Challenges this week too!

Happy Stamping!
