Back to School ~ Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration

It's that time of year again...the most wonderful time of the year...Back to School!  Don't get me wrong...I love my kiddos and love having them home with me, but by the end of summer I am always ready to get back into a more structured routine.

Today over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration, I'm up with an individual post.  I wanted to do a fun gift box and card for each of my boys to give to their teachers tonight at their meet and greet.  I made this cute box using the Deco Label framelits and filled it full of little things to help any teacher survive the first few crazy days of the new school year.

And you have to have a fun Back to School card for the teachers too, right?!?!?  With some inspiration from The Friday Mashup challenge, I have a cute card to match!  The Mashup this week is to create a school themed project using this sketch.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Pool Party, Very Vanilla, This and That Epic Day DSP

Ink ~ Calypso Coral, Gumball Green, Pool Party, VersaMark

Stamp Sets ~ 123-ABC Outline and Sketch Alphabet & Numbers, Gorgeous Grunge

Other Supplies ~ Pool Party Embossing Powder, MDS (gift box tag)

Thanks for stopping by today and good luck to all of your kiddos who will be, or have already, headed back to school! And best of luck to all my teacher friends out there...you are all amazing in my eyes!!!

 

Happy Stamping!

 





Framelits Friday

Happy {Framelits} Friday!  I'm a little bit sad today...we are heading home this morning after 10 wonderful days in Pacific City OR.  We vacation here every summer and it is my all time favorite place to be.  While I am sad to leave, I am itching to get back into my craft room and work on some projects that have been brewing since I've been here :-)

And I am super happy for Framelits Friday over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and I have a FAB-ulous Framelit card to share with you!  I used three different framelits for this card...Square, Heart and Expressions (Thinlits). Take a look and see what you think! 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Melon Mambo

Other Supplies: Chevron Embossing Folder, Square Framelits, Hearts Framelits, Expression Thinlits, Typeset Alphabet Bigz, Small Heart Punch, Gingham Garden Washi Tape, Witches Brew Washi Tape

 

Notice anything missing?  STAMPS!  I love to stamp, but sometimes it's fun to create a card with nothing but paper!

 

Now head on over to Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration see what the rest of the Design Team has for you.
