Back to School Cards

Filed under: Projects — August 30, 2023 @ 9:54 am

Are you doing the happy dance? I don’t have any kids returning to school, but I wanted to share these cards with you. You can use the ideas to scrapbook back to school photos also!

I used the Bird’s Eye View stamp set to make this card duo. For the first one, I made a background of stamped birds. For the second one I used the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper – it looks just like a school project!

For both cards, I added a new bundle (stamps and punch) that comes out September 6. It’s called Curved Occasions so you can add that to the search bar in MY STORE after that date.

I added some colorful letters and numbers cut with the Alphabet a la mode dies. The books and bird were colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Links to all the products are at the end of this post.

This is a spinner card! I added a cardstock circle and layered dimensionals to the back of the bird. Just punch the curve in the Designer Paper and pop it up so the spinner can move on the card.

Swaps are one of the fun parts of any Stampin’ Up! demonstrator event. Look at this dude card with the sunglasses! It uses the faux shutter technique. And the bookmark card is so cute. You can also make a longer bookmark by stacking lots of the books together.

The center of the first card flips up and the second one features a corner bookmark.

Surprise!

And above are a couple more swaps from a previous demonstrator event. Do you agree that the Bird’s Eye View stamp set is a must-have for creative cuteness?

We had a blast at #stampinupbackstage last week. Connecting with new and old friends is even better than swaps! If you would like to join us at a future event, why not JOIN THE FUN.

Happy crafting,

Kim Wilson
