Teacher Appreciation

Did you have a favourite teacher growing up?
Do your children have a teacher that has helped to make school enjoyable and special?

Well, Tues., May 3rd is Teacher Appreciation Day and we asked a couple of our design team members to create something for this special day.

Happy Hump Day Imaginisce fans! I am here today to share a happy little gift set I created for a favorite preschool teacher with my favorite papers from the Sunny collection.

The gift set includes home decor, a decorated frame, a box of sweets and a coordinating card.

For the home decor, I bought a 4x6 frame from Michael's and discarded the glass. I lined the background with "Pineapple Days" (really my favorite paper in this collection) and added a card from the "Good Vibes" paper layered on top of the stripey side of "Fun in the Sun", adhered with a few foam dots for dimension. The ribbon and enamel dots add different textures and a bit of color.

The little gift box was created following a tutorial I pinned a while ago, again with "Pineapple Days".

Finally, the card was super simple to make with a border made with "Fun in the Sun" and two super cute die-cut shapes, also from the Sunny collection, popped up on foam dots. That pineapple die-cut is to die for, don't you think?

Here's my little gift ready to go. I love how it all coordinates and I can't help but smile when I look at it :) It is pretty much guaranteed to uplift anybody’s spirit, teacher or not!

Thank you for stopping by! If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments!
