Back to School Season!

Hello, today I have a Back to School card to share using a positive affirmation. I’ve combined a few stamp sets together from Miss Ink Stamps for this one!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I created that background using one of my favorite stencils Basket Case, and a small apple image from the Little Angel stamp set. This makes such a fun patterned paper that you could use for any project, today I am using it as my card background.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!






Hope you enjoy the Back to School season! Thanks for stopping by!

Back to School Good Luck

Hello! It’s Back to School week for our kiddos here and I have some quick cards to share. When I put together cards for kids, I try to remember that they are kids and really don’t care how much time or effort that goes into making a card. So that means, something quick but still cute!

Enter some stamp and die elements that are cute AND will fill the entire card.

I stamped every single image from this Waffle Flower set and colored them in quickly with my Copic markers.

Then, I die cut the large alphabet dies to spell “Good Luck” from cream colored 110# cardstock. To add some punch, I added some ink with finger daubers on the lower part of the letters.

Back to School!

I used patterned paper for the card panel to add some extra texture, and adhered the letters on with liquid glue. Then I popped up the images with foam tape.

A fun card and easy to put together. I’m pretty sure my nephews and granddaughters will love them! But I think they will love the “smarties” candies that I’m giving them to go along with the card. Lol.

I’m often asked what supplies I’ve used, so I have a list below using affiliate links, when possible. When you purchase using these links, I may receive a small commission. This helps me to keep up with blog costs and continue to bring you fun projects. Thank you so much!

I hope you enjoyed these back to school cards today! If you have kids/grandkids going back to school, I wish them Good Luck!
