Back to School - Kitchen Sink Stamps

My neighborhood is a little bit quieter these days as the students in my little town returned to school last Wednesday. Three month summer vacations are a thing of the past here in Texas! 

My Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design this week features images from the following sets:

Technique - Scoring - Kitchen Sink Stamps

Looking for a challenge to try this morning for my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design, I happened upon the Technique Lover's Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. TLC917 is called SCORE and requires a scored background.

I decided it would be perfect for creating a large sheet of notebook paper as the background for a thank you card for a paraprofessional or a volunteer to acknowledge their help is getting school off to a great start this year.

After scoring the lines, I ran a blue ink pad gently across the surface of the card followed by a red pad for the left margin line. I then rounded the corners and punched the three holes down the side before stamping the sentiment and gluing on the stamped SVG cut files for the pencils and the crayons.

Stamps sets used to create this 5x7 design are:

Headed Back to School - Kitchen Sink Stamps

Today is the release date for Kitchen Sinks Stamps' newest images.  Three of the new sets feature back to school images and sentiments. They include:

Back to School Supplies

Class Notes

Top of the Class

On both of these cards, I used the SVG cut files available for free from KSS when you add them to your cart on the day you purchase the matching stamp set. What fun I had making all those colorful crayons!! The crayon box was created using the SVG 3D Gift Card Crayon Box and Label Stencil also available from KSS today. Instead of creating the 3D version, I made the box flat to use on my card front. There is also a collection of Back to School printable backgrounds for foiling that are perfect for use with these sets.

The above card has been entered in the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #648 - Back to School.

The fourth set is called Baby Steps and is a fabulous mix of images and sentiments for welcoming a new baby into a family! I again used the SVG cut files to stamp the image of the pram. This set also includes a delightful pair of baby feet and an awesome mix of delightful sentiments. The printable backgrounds for foiling which are great for use with these images is called Oh Baby!

I have entered this baby card in the As You See It Challenge #282 - Baby Business.

Don't miss the fabulous creations using these new images which are being shared today by the Kitchen Crew!
