School Time Day Two

Welcome to Day Two of my sneak peeks at my new School Time and School
Time Additions stamp sets.  There were a couple questions yesterday.  First, I added the details of what stamps are included in each set to yesterday's post.  (I got interrupted last night by a fussy little one. *wink*)  The frame I used on yesterday's card is one of the stamps included in School Time.  I will have more about it in a couple days.  Today, I have another card to share
featuring images from the School Time stamp set.



I used another background stamp from School Time, the apple pattern, to create my apple patterned paper using pure poppy ink and vintage cream cardstock.  After stamping my pattern, I stitched my paper to a ripe avocado layer and pure poppy layer.  I added some copper brads in the corners and adhered it to my kraft card base.

I created another patterned paper using the little pencil image that is included in the set.  I added some more stitching before adhering the layer to my card.  I stamped the circle border, apple image, and sentiment on vintage cream cardstock and punched it out using a 1 1/2 inch circle punch.   I die cut my ripe avocado cardstock using the Mat Stack 1 die and stamped the frame from Round & Round (this year'a anniversary set).  I added a couple copper brads and adhered the mat and sentiment using foam adhesive.

More sneak peeks from these ladies today: Nichole, Alli, Heather, and Dawn.  Okay, I am off as a little one is calling my name.  Have a great Sunday and thanks for stopping by!
