Today’s design was inspired by two card challenges, which you can see below. I began with three pencils from the Trusty Tools Stamp Set. I stamped them in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used a Trusty Tools Die for cutting, and layered them for thickness. Then, I colored them with three colors of Stampin’ Blends: Crumb Cake, Peach Pie, and Shy Shamrock.

Back to school

The Just A Note Dies were used for the Basic White Cardstock notebook paper, Crumb Cake Cardstock clip, and Peach Pie stars. And, the Just A Note Stamp Set provided the Shy Shamrock lines and Crumb Cake “Happy back to school” sentiment.

After gluing the clip, stars and pencils to the notebook paper, I attached it to the card front with Dimensionals. The card base is Crumb Cake Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Shy Shamrock Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and a top layer of Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 4 3/4″, which I embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

Prior to gluing, I used a Fancy Borders Die to give a detailed edge along the top of the Basic White Cardstock. I think you can see how I used the two card challenges for my design. Lily can give this card to one of her pre-school teachers.

The colors are from TGIF.
