Back to School

 Supplies:

Stamps: Back to School from my stash, SU School Lines

Paper: Gina K Kraft and White, SU Real Red, Pecan Pie, Old Olive

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU Real Red and Balmy Blue

Accessories: Papertrey Die, Cuttlebug Die, 1 1/4 Inch Scalloped Circle Punch, Spellbinders Circle Die

Hello Stampers!  The Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers is: Back to School.  Today was my first day back to school and I had to participate in this challenge!  For my card I die cut the note pad paper and stamped the lines on in Balmy Blue.  I found the Cuttlebug stack of books die and thought it would be perfect for this card.  Then I added the sentiment.  I adhered this to a kraft card base.  

That's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Summer!

Hello Stampers! Is it too early to be thinking about summer vacation?!  With all of the obstacles teachers are going through this year, I bet I am not the only one thinking about summer vacation already!  When I saw the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches I thought of these crayons right away to use for the rectangles.  Then for the background I thought it would be fun to make it look like a crayon box.  This was a fun sketch!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

I Know School is Just Beginning but...

Supplies: Stamps: Stampendous: Changito Monkey Lawn Fawn: Happy Summer and A Little Birdie Told Me  Paper: Gina K white  Ink: Memento tuxedo black, SU riding hood red  Accessories: Stampin Up ribbon, copic markers, A Little Birdie Told Me die cuts, dimensionals, corner rounder

I know school is just beginning but the teacher in me is already counting down to summer!  Ha!  I made this card for the CASology cue word: book.  I am not a reader, I try, but my eyes just get heavier and heavier as I read.  Which turns into nap time for me!  So I thought this Changito monkey image would be great for this challenge.  Maybe I could read through osmosis like Changito! :)  Thanks for stopping by!

Back to School

Supplies: Cardstock: yellow, cream, pink, black, metallic silver  Accessories: Silhouette cut file  Card Details Here

August is here...back to school time is upon us.  My niece and nephew started school this week, and my other niece starts in a couple of weeks.  I thought I would make them a little treat box to help them start out their school year.  I measured the size of a Hershey nugget and scaled the pencil box file down to fit the candies.  I also created and cut out their name labels on the Silhouette.  I tried a new to me spray adhesive, it was Aleene's Tacky Adhesive Spray.  It was super sticky!  I didn't have to apply a lot and it had a great bond, perfect for those very detailed die cuts.

That's all for now.  Thanks for stopping by!

Getting Ready for Back to School

 Supplies: Stamps: Stampedous, dollar acrylic stamps, school lines from SU, Paper: October Afternoon, ivory, black, kraft  Ink: Memento tuxedo black and summer sky, riding hood red  Accessories: Papertrey die cut, circle punches, copic markers, twill tape

I picked up this Changito set at a rummage sale, he is too cute.  For the focal image I die cut the notebook paper, stamped it using the school lines background in summer sky ink, then I stamped the monkey right on top and colored him.  I thought with the light color of summer sky that I could color right over it.  

Supplies: Stamps: dollar acrylic stamps  Ink: Memento tuxedo black and lady bug  Paper: all from my scraps  Accessories: black brads, Silhouette Cameo, circle punches, dimensionals

Nothing says back to school like new pencils and school supplies!  I made this shape card with my Silhouette Cameo, it took a bit to glue all of the pieces but otherwise it was easy peasy!  I had to add a little stamping, it just didn't feel right not.  So I added the Back to School Label, I popped up the apple in the center of the label on this one. 

Thanks for looking!

Apple of my Eye

Summer sure flew by! August is here, and it is Back to School time....and time for a new Clean and Simple design team over at SCS. I thought I'd give it another chance. I made it to the semi-finals with this card. The theme was Teacher's Pet and you also needed to use a paper punch. I chose to use a corner rounder punch. Being a teacher myself I happened to have some fun apple, teacher stuff for this card. The embossing folder is by Quickutz, the ribbon is from Hobby Lobby, the apple stamps are a $ acrylic stamp set I had bought at JoAnn's, and all of the paper is pure luxury cardstock from Gina K. designs.

Now I need to go and make a CAS card using designer paper for the next challenge....
