Back to School with Hello Kitty

My niece is starting the 4th grade tomorrow and I wanted to make her a special back to school card.

She loves Hello Kitty and I found this great SVG file for those of you who use Sure Cuts a Lot with your Cricut.  I added red glitter to her bow using Martha Stewart's Garnet glitter and some Ranger Glossy Accents. 

I also hand-cut the pencil and paper from the Cosmo Cricket "The Boyfriend" line of cardstock.

I used lots of sold cardstock and white ink to make the card itself look like a chalk board.

I'm off to see her now ~ hope she likes it!

School Has Never Been So Fun!

I've seen the isles full of rainbow-colored folders and matching highlighters make their way into the grocery stores.  You know what that means ~ school days are just around the corner!

Even though my little guy is still too young for school, I've been getting into the spirit of things with a darling collection of classroom-inspired pin-up cards.

These are the perfect gift for a teacher (probably one you know vs. your 2nd grader's instructor), new graduate or college student.

School has never been so much fun!

Wonderland Chipboard Album

My project of the week has been this wonderland of a mini-album.  It took about 3 1/2 days of sanding and inking, but I'm so delighted with the results!

I used almost every sheet of the Hallowe'en Alice in Wonderland line from Graphic 45 on this baby.

On the front is a HUGE sparkly flower (3 layers deep) and a glazed brad by Basic Grey.

Upon opening the chipboard album, you're greeted with LOTS of fun ephemera to look at ~ hanging tags, hand-cut 3D embellishments, stick pins and ribbon! Each piece has been sanded and inked with brown and black. A photo will neatly tuck under the corner tear of beige paper.

The next page reveals a VERY merry un-birthday tea party!  I made room for a larger photo here (you can tuck it underneath the strip) and a 3D pop-up title label with more of the glazed brads.  Adding the black glittery flower at the bottom was my 4-yr-old's idea.  Great eye, Jackson!

This next page is my hubby's favorite.  He loves the rabbit tag with key charm at the top of the page.  It pops up with lots of 3D foam adhesive.  I've also tied it with brown string.

There is room for 2 more photos (you can tuck them under the ribbon) and a hand-cut Mad Hatter.

Finally, the back has more fabulous cardstock, all inked with several colors to give it an antique, burned look.  The album is about 5.5x9 inches.  Enjoy!
