I have a couple of projects to share with you today. I know we are in the thick of summer right now but school is just around the corner so I thought I would make a couple of fun cards for back to school!
I made this card using a 5X5 card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down another piece of white cardstock to add some distress ink and some ink splatters for a fun background panel.
I stamped the pencils from the the Write Stuff stamp set out of copic friendly in and colored then with with some of my favorite copic combinations. I fussy cut them out and arranged them around the ink blended panel glued them together and popped them up with foam adhesive.
I then die cut the Looking Sharp die three times from heavy white cardstock and glued them together for some thickness. I added some fun foam to the panel and adhered to the 5X5 card base.
The next card I made was an A2 size card base made from black cardstock.
Using the pencil border image from the Write Stuff stamp set, I stamped it twice and then used some copic markers to color the borders. I then die cut them out using the coordinating die and popped them up with some foam adhesive on the top and bottom of a piece of white cardstock. I heat embossed my sentiment using white embossing ink on black cardstock. I used a sentiment strip to cut that out and popped it up also with some foam adhesive. I added some sequins because I love a little sparkle.

I hope you are enjoying your time hopping with us today! Lots of inspiration and even more if you visit the Just a Note Gallery. I have provided affiliate links to all the supplies I used to make these projects for your convenience. Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy hopping!
