Back Packin'

 

I was in the mood to assemble a couple of the adorable gift card holder backpack dies from Papertrey Ink after viewing Tina Smith's awesome tutorial. Though I had made them before, I wanted to refresh my memory and ended up using a lot of the same colors that Tina used. If you haven't watched her videos before, you really must! Check it out HERE.

I am also joining in The Paper Players challenge which is a fun tic-tac-toe challenge by Anne Marie. I went with the top row across: bright colors, layers, embossing (wet or dry). The dry embossing is subtle with the stitching details and the definition around the zipper and sentiment panel. I will give these cards to my grands to use for their teachers if they wish.

That's it for now. It's another dismal chilly Monday in VA! No school today so it's a "Nana day" for 2 of my grands - ages 6 and 8. Thanks so much for stopping by!  ~Wanda
