Hello and welcome to the Back to School Blog Hop where we are sharing projects with a school theme. I have used two main stamp sets to create my card – Alphabest and Cheerful Basket.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the back to school card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Real Red card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White. Pear Pizzazz & Crumb Cake

 

I ran the smaller panel of Basic White through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder and glued it to the Real Red card layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to add the panel to the Crumb Cake card base.

The ‘nest’ image from the Cheerful Basket stamp set was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto scrap Crumb Cake card and fussy cut it out using sharp Scissors. I added the image to the card front on Dimensionals.

Using a dauber, I smeared Real Red and Daffodil Delight ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut the apples using the Full Basket Dies. I also die cut the stems and leaves from scrap Pear Pizzazz. The stems were added to the apples with a dab of liquid glue. The apples were then tucked into the basket/

I stamped the outline labels from the Alphabest stamp set in Pacific Point, Real Red & Daffodil Delight inks onto scrap Basic White. I added the letters in the same colours inside the labels before punching them out with the Best Label Punch.

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Fun-Fold. I have used the Plentiful Plants stamp set and Perfect Plants Dies to make a card inspired by one I saw on Youtube made by Cindy Lee Brumbaugh

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the perfectly planted card, you will need:

Cinnamon Cider card – 5½ by 4¼” – back panel
Bloom Where You’re Planted dsp – 5¼” by 4” – brick pattern
Cinnamon Cider card – 9½” by 4¼” – column folding mechanism – scored on the 9½” side @ ½”, 1¼”, 2”. 2¾”, 6¾”, 7½”, 8¼” & 9”
Bloom Where You’re Planted dsp – 4” by 3¾” – wood planks
Window Sheet – 4” by 3”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 4” – back panel
Scrap Basic White and Granny Apple Green

 

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the brick pattern dsp to the back panel of Cinnamon Cider card. This was then set to one side.

I chose 2 nesting Rectangle Stitched Dies and used the larger of these dies to cut a rectangle from the centre of the large scored panel of Cinnamon Cider card. The dsp was then glued to the centre of this panel using liquid glue. The smaller rectangle die was then used to to die cut the centre of the negative space giving a ‘window’.

The piece of Window Sheet was then added to the back of the window using Mini Glue Dots.

Using a Bone Folder, I burnished all the score lines before adding Seal + adhesive to the ½” tab at either end. The columns were then formed.

Seal + was added to the back of each panel and I adhered the whole piece to the centre of the back panel.

Then came the decoration. I stamped a plant pot from the Plentiful Plants stamp set in Cinnamon Cider ink and foliage in Garden Green and die cut them using the Perfect Plants Dies. These were added to the front of the window using Mini Glue Dots. I also stamped a smaller pot in Night of Navy ink and die cut the spiky plant from scrap Granny Apple Green card. These were also added using Mini Glue Dots.

I stamped the same pot and greenery on the Basic White panel which was then adhered to the back of the card.

The sentiment, from the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set was stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink onto scrap Basic White card, trimmed down with my Trimmer and added to the card front on Mini Glue Dots.
