Teacher Appreciation Card [Teacher Gifts Series #4]
August 22, 2023 by
🍎❤️ Teachers are like apples: they come into our lives, bright and shiny, and nourish our minds with wisdom.
✏️ Did you know, just like our teachers, we can transform the ordinary into extraordinary? Allow me to share the magic.
🔹I decided to create this special card for teacher appreciation.
🔹I reached for my Stampin' Up Everyday Thanks Stamp Set and like the unsharpened pencil, thoughts started to flow. From bland to bold, from shy strokes to vibrant vibrates, the pencils began to etch gratitude.
🔹Then came the Apple Harvest Stamp Set. As apples symbolize knowledge, it only seemed right.
🔹Coloring the images with the Stampin' Blends Markers, the flat paper began to fill with life. The result was sparkling! I couldn't help but gaze at how these images popped off the paper, just like our teachers who pop into our lives and leave an indelible mark!
🎥 I shared how I colored these images in my teacher gift video class.
So, who is the teacher you would like to thank? Let's honor those who inspired us to color our world! 🌈
