The Paper Shelter #609 ~ Punches / Dies!

    Hello crafting friends and welcome to this week's challenge

at the The Paper Shelter. 

Team A - our challenge this week is 

~ Punches / Dies ~

I shared the back to school card I made for my little granddaughter in our last challenge, so today I would like to share the back to school card I made for my little grandson, using the Back to School Madness digi. 

For this card, I used the digi only, not the background paper that comes with it.  I needed something with the primary colours for my little guy who is starting 3rd grade.

Here is a close up of this little guy.  He sure looks ready for school, doesn't he?  He definitely has enough supplies 😀  I print this image using photo paper, cut it out twice and then pop dotted the two layers together to add a little dimension.  I always print my digis on photo paper as they turn out bright and crisp.

I used the Bookworm die, from Karen Burniston, for the worm and the apple, and the Music Label die, from Amy Design, for the music notes.  I also used a 1" square eK punch to cut the fishtail end on the banners that run on the front and on the inside of the card.  The sentiment is a file from Silhouette. The patterned papers are from a very old paper pad called We Go to School from Me & My Big Ideas!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Before I leave, I would like to invite you to come play along with us.  Remember that The Paper Shelter has fabulous prizes up for grabs. Check out the details below ...

I do hope you will come join the fun and share your projects with us.
