Time to go Back to School

I made this back-to-school card for my 12-year-old niece.  This kitty looks like she just woke up - my niece likes to sleep too so it might be hard for her to think about the alarm clock going off in September.  I hope she likes this card.


I started with a white card base, which I covered with brown cardstock.  Next I affixed the clock/numbers patterned paper, onto which I stamped a Hero Arts watch face in brown.  Then I stamped the watch face again on vellum, die-cut into a circle, and affixed to the card.  The cute cat image is one of Two Kittens by Barb Jensen Designs at Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet.  I coloured it with pencils, rounded the corners, mounted on brown cardstock, rounded the corners, added a punched apple, and affixed to the card with foam tape.  I created the sentiment with a label maker and then finished off the card by adding several brown gems.   Here are the supplies used:
  • Digistamp:  Described above
  • Stamp:  Hero Arts B4378 Small Watch Face
  • Ink:  StazOn Timber Brown
  • Patterned paper:  Unknown/unmarked
  • Cardstock:  Recollections
  • Coloured Pencils:  Prismacolor
  • Label maker:  Dymo
  • Die:  Nellie's Multiframes Circles
  • Punches:  Apple - Michaels, Corner Rounder - Creative Memories
  • Vellum, gems:  Dollar store

  3. I like the Dymo label maker sentiment. I have one of these Dymo from younger days but do not know if I have any of the stuff to put into it to make labels. Do they make the stuff anymore?

  5. Well, I woke up reluctantly this morning and whist trying to get myself together decided to take a moment or two to browse my favourite site (OSAAT). I was uplifted when I saw you had entered your card because cats are my passion too. Reading your 'story' gave me a big smile as I do remember those days - waking teenagers for school, and the lovely image inspired me to pull myself together and get going. I hope your neice appreciates your thoughtful card because I certainly do. Thank you for reenergising me :-) Good luck in our challenge. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)
