Back to School

I saw these Wood stamp cases at Convention used for school boxes, gift boxes, any occasion boxes.  So here are the first two.  One for a Younger student and the other a an Older student.  The boxes come with a clear sleeve to slip your paper in, this protects the paper and any embellishment under the protective coating.  The paper is cut at 7 inches X 11 1/4 inches.  Our 2 sided paper is perfect for this project as the other pattern shows on the inside of the box. 

I added a tablet, scissors, pencils and candy to the World Map Case.  Stamp sets Blue Ribbon and Sketched Alphabet were used and all placed under the plastic sleeve.  ABC was stamped directly to the "I Am Me" designer paper.

 

A tablet, mechanical pencils, candy and crackers are in the Worn Alphabet case.  Soho Subway designer paper lines the case.  I cut a Tag with the Chalk Talk Framelits in Crushed Curry.  The tag is embossed with the Alphabet Press and sanded lightly.  A Naturals Designer button tied with line thread is added to the outside of the box.

Cosmos by Kat

What do Cosmos and the Royals have to do with inspiration and card making?  In my life.....lots!  The Royals are pretty HOT right now and the last few weeks driving in and out of the ballpark has been a Beautiful journey.  Last week I took these pictures, you may have seen them on my Facebook page.  I love my flowers and purple, well that is icing on the cake........

 

What a great display of wildflowers, cosmos to be exact out at the K.  www.Edenbrothers.com sells a mix called Sensation which looks a lot like the above picture.  I may plant these along my far fence next year, sure beats weed eating!  So where am I going with this.......

I have struggled to use this stamp set until I took these pictures.  Finally time to sit down and create my version of Cosmos by Kat.

 

 

 

 I used Rich Razzleberry, Wisteria Wonder and Versamark ink.  Clear embossed the Cosmos on Whisper White card stock.  The Flower Garden Embossing folder was inked with Rich Razzleberry, Sentiment from Best of Greetings.  Panels popped up and there we go, my version of Cosmos.

 

 

  

I hope you get a chance to visit the K, before the Cosmos are gone for the season.  The gate 6 entry off Stadium Drive is the BEST.  Speaking of BEST, you can order the Best of sets until 2014!  And if you buy 6 you get any stamp set up to $14.95 FREE.  My collector card has 6 stickers, so I need to choose and get my Free stamp set.
