Plus, if you want to pick up the puffy white letter stickers or the 25 pack of the black embossed dotted paper, they're on sale in the store!

Hi all! This week's card is part of the Back to School event at TwoPeas! I thought I would create a quick card that could be for a teacher, or a student (just swap out the letters to have it say the student's name).

I used Crate Paper's School Spirit 6x6 papers and die-cuts for the card. The die-cuts come from collection pack, but the same artwork is available separately by buying the chipboard. :)

CHALLENGE: Create a "Back to School" card. Upload your creation to the TwoPeas gallery, select this week's challenge, and your card will appear on this week's FF page under the video submissions tab.

Enjoy!

Morning, all!

For this week's card, it all started with wanting to use Glossy Accents on polka dot paper. I saw Jennifer McGuire do it on a card a bit ago and just had to try it out myself. :) After my order from TwoPeas arrived with it, I broke it out and used some paper from Crate Paper's Restoration 6x6 paper pad.

For the flower in the card, I cut it out of the paper and eventually added Diamond Stickles to it! Yay, sparkles! The Stickles looked amazing on the yellow flower. The glitter is mainly gold, so it really picked up the yellow color. And the the Glossy Accents looked pretty cool...

Speaking of the paper pad, hello? I love this paper. And like I say in the video, I love that it's the actual 12x12 paper, but cut in quarters and then put in the paper pad. It's a great way for card makers to get the papers because you'll be cutting them down anyway. Brilliant!
