Thanks for stopping by the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.
It's Ann here with a card I needed to make so I could give my nephew some money for his college books come next semester. Zach is studying Pharmacy at WVU, and even though he has a scholarship to help pay for tuition, anyone with children in college knows how expensive books have gotten over the years.
When I was browsing through the Dies R Us Store, I came across this embossing folder by Darice called School Books. I have to admit it sat on my desk for a few months before I knew what I wanted to do with it. I guess you can say I work better under pressure, and since Zach is going back to college in a few weeks, I knew I was running out of time. I covered the apple on the stack of books with the owl, but if you want to use the embossing folder with the apple, it would make a great card for a teacher.
The words "for" and "you" are from the Accessory Words #2 and Accessory Words #3. For the pencil, I just cut it out of the paper after embossing it, colored it in, and adhered it back on with some foam tape.

A fantastic card for a student Ann. Brilliant embossing folder which I have not seen before here in the UK. The owl die is so cute, and I really like the font on the word dies.
ReplyDeleteI am sure your nephew loved it!
What a fun creation Ann ... just perfect for any student! Thanks for awesome inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYour nephew certainly will appreciate the book-aid, Ann! Your loving card looks fantastic! I have never thought of embossing twice - once for the background and once for fussy cutting and dimensionalizing! Beautifully designed.... It's fun, yet grown up, serious, yet full of smiles! Congratulations to your family!
