School Days

Two of our grand children who live locally started school last Wednesday. That means Nana needs to come up with some teacher cards to have on hand! The Cupcake Inspirations Challenge has a school days theme, so I dusted off an old favorite Go To Gift Card Holder: Backpack stamp/die set by Papertrey Ink.   

This card took me a LONG time to complete! The apple cover plate die must be faulty because I tried multiple times with different papers and using both my manual Big Shot and also my electronic Empress machines. Nothing would give me perfect cuts! I finally opted to just use it for embossing. I used Limeade Ice paper that matched the Granny Smith apple color. The tiny circle stamp for the paint box element was missing in action, so I had to go on the hunt for a circle elsewhere. I found an exact fit in the Holiday Wagon set (PTI).

STAMPS: Go To Gift Card Holder: Backpack Accessories (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Limeade Ice, Cocoa Bean, Classic Kraft, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise, Aqua Mist, Lovely Lady, Hibiscus Burst, Amethyst Allure, Green Parakeet, New Leaf, Sweet Blush, Blueberry Sky (PTI).
