Teachers Gift reaches for the sky

Grow... our kids are blessed with so many who help them grow into bright, funny, loving people.  This year my daughter, Carina, had two amazing student teachers in her Kinder class.  Creating a sweet gift to mark their time with the kids is easy and fun with our Stampin' Up! Products!
Create this pretty picture with:
Feel Goods stamp set (#131916 w / 129684 c)
Whisper White card stock (#100730)
Wild Wasabi ink (#126959)
Soft Suede ink (#126978)
Tangerine Tango ink (#126946)
Daffodil Delight ink (#126944)
Aqua Painter (#103954)
Stampin' Sponges (#101610)
Vellum Card Stock (#101856)
21 kindergarteners and their cute fingers (lol) and a baby wipe to prevent spread of
Frame to hold the project.
 
MYSTERY HOSTESS!!  Place an order using THIS Hostess Code (At check-out enter:  FPVUB3DD ) On-Line or Email me directly by March 30th and I will select a Mystery Hostess for FREE HOSTESS DOLLARS on March 30th!!  YES - still earn FREE Sale~A~Bration items for every $50 you enter!
I started the project by stamping this pretty Sunshine sentiment from the Feel Goods stamp set in Tangerine Tango ink on the Whisper White card stock (cut down to fit the 8"x10" frame).
 
Inking the kids fingers, I started with the thumb in the Wild Wasabi ink.  Then wiped it 'clean' to do the fingers surrounding the thumb.  This will quickly fill a page and resemble the leaves.
 
After collecting all the finger prints and using a pencil to mark each child's name, I then used my Aqua Painter and the Soft Suede ink to paint these branches and trunk.  I even 'carved' a heart after for an extra touch!  The Aqua Painter makes for beautiful water colored lines and I don't have to stay 'within' the lines or be perfect. 
Add some sun to this sentiment with the Daffodil Delight ink and Stampin' Sponge.  Coloring the corner adds a warmth to the card and the colors beautifully coordinate. 
Their little fingerprints really warm my heart!
 
Print the sentiment you desire on the Vellum Card Stock.  Here I adhered it to the sides with Glue Dots.  It floats above the tree while adding a pretty greeting.  Here we discussed their love and support helping them to grow and reach for the skies.   It is so true, the love these teachers pour into my kids are great ways for them to feel supported and cherished.

This project pulls together to signify the Growth our kids have done with the love and support of these amazing teachers.  Teachers are our unsung hero's and I couldn't do what they do (I used to want to teach, sigh... I now do with my kids, lol).  Create a sweet gift to mark the impression the teachers have made on the lives of the kids and our family. This project is sure to warm the hearts of the teachers.

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
