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!

Let's Hang Out Soon ~ HSSCC#336

Hi stampers!  How are you all doing?  I know that there are a lot of uncertainties in our lives right now, but one thing that will remain the same is our creativity!  
Hand Stamped Sentiments  has a cheerful Color Challenge for you to play along with this week.  Take advantage of some of that extra time you have at home and join us!

Today is the last day of Sale-A-Bration...this always makes me sad.  There is just never enough time to create with all of the fun FREE items you can earn!  I think one of my favorite sets this year is Rise & Shine. I am crossing my fingers that this adorable stamp set finds its way into our 2020-2021 Annual Catalog!

I stamped one of the cute little mugs in Daffodil Delight and the other in Poppy Parade, which I stamped off once to add some happy little flowers!  The little tea tag and sentiment were stamped in Pool Party and I added another splash of Daffodil Delight in the background.  

Some fun textures were added with the Coastal Weave and Ornate Floral (coming soon!) 3D embossing folders.  In true Craft-somina Momma fashion, I added a little bit of bling with the Silver Metallic Thread and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  And I can't forget the Daffodil Delight Starburst...it's like a burst of sunshine with your coffee or tea!

I know many of us are hoping to "hang out soon" with our family and friends that we have had to distance ourselves from.  I pray that the spread of this awful virus will slow soon and we can ease our way back in to our normal lives.  But for now, I will enjoy my time at home and my extra stamping time.

Happy Stamping!
