Well, Hi friends!
Today I’m delighted to be joining the Simon Says Stamp Friday Blog Hop for the Every Happiness July Release! There are so many delightful elements to this release that I think you’ll enjoy. Today I’m showcasing the wonderful school themed set with coordinating dies called Best Teacher Ever .
Our daughter is a teacher and we’re so proud of her. Every day she brings creativity, intentionality and joy to her classroom. So, this set has a special place in my heart. I know how significant our teachers are, and how much they need to hear they are valued and appreciated. This design tries to bring an elegant feel to a teacher appreciation by using the sentiment as a fun focal point.
To create the beautiful and vibrant pattern I used my beloved Willowweave die and stencil from Simon Says Stamp. The stencil creates the vibrant red layer and the willowweave die addes the aqua blue texture. It’s always a show stopper! I added in stars from the Best Teacher Ever set to the center of each opening to tie it into the teacher theme.
Another fun stamped feature is the aqua dividing line between layers where I stamped the ruler element from the set, and added in the sub-sentiment “You rule!” Totally a cute little teacher touch.
I think it’s a fun and classy way to tell a teacher you appreciate them any time of the year.
