White Rose Crafts LLC Blog: Back To School Cards

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with some School Cards.

Most of our children have started or will be starting school soon. I thought it would fun to create a few cards to inspire them to back into school.

Card # 1 Learn Full Tutorial

Let's get started.

I gathered the components for the card.

I stamped and colored the Ruler, & Pencil. I also stamped the Notebook paper 3x and added a few of the mini sentiments, math problem and letter grade to the paper. I trimmed the pattern paper and card front panel. I die cut a File Folder from yellow cardstock for some finishing touches I used some Gold stars, paper clip & chipboard tag.

Next, I start layering the blue star pattern paper and a red cardstock onto the card front panel. Then, I layered the Ruler to cover the seams of the other papers.

I tucked two of the notebook papers into the little file folder. I added a bit of adhesive to make sure they don't move. Then, I added a paper clip. Place some foam adhesive to the back of the folder and placed it onto the card front. Next, I added the chipboard tag.

Then, I added a bit of foam adhesive onto the notebook paper with all the stamped mini sentiments and layered on the file folder. Next, I adhered the pencil toward the bottom of the notebook paper. For finishing touches, I added 3 gold stars.

Card # 2 - Hi-Ho- Hi- Ho It's Off To School We Go!

For this card, I basically followed the steps above. I added a scalloped yellow cardstock border under the white cardstock. I stamped and colored the elements (backpack, apples, book stack, & Lunchbox) I fussy cut them and popped them up on some foam tape and placed them on the white cardstock strip. I added a bit of foam tape on the back of the white cardstock strip and added it to the card front.

I cut some fishtail banners from the pattern paper and stapled them together with Tim Holtz mini Stapler. Tuck them just under the white cardstock strip. For the sentiment, I used a sticker that I backed onto white cardstock for a firm piece. I also added a bit of foam behind it. For a finishing touch, I added some Zig Wink of Stella on the apples and some Sakura Gelly Roll White pen.
