To create this spread, I used mainly the Pinkfresh Studio Office Hours collection, along with a patterned paper from the Pinkfresh Studio A Case of the Blahs collection. I thought this stamp set and dies set would be perfect for documenting my son's first day of school this year.
To begin the spread, I trimmed a patterned paper to 5" x 8.25" to fit in my Life Crated Album from Citrus Twist Kits. I layered some patterned paper behind my photo, used the stamp set to stamp a pencil, and fussy cut it out. I also used a patterned paper to add some color to the eraser portion of the pencil.
Next, I used the dies and stamps to create the title for my layout. I stamped "1st Day of" using black ink onto a piece of grid paper, and I used the crafting dies to cut out the bookplate from a piece of patterned paper. Tile alphas and a puffy number sticker completed the title.
For the other side of the spread, I created a grid page using several of the stamps from the Back To School Stamp Set. I began with a white cardstock base and used the stamp set and black and light gray ink to stamp onto a few label stickers. I also stamped on some circular pieces and fussy cut a couple of the elements to add more interest to the page.
Here's a final look at the completed layout:
The Back to School Stamp Set and Rectangle Bookplate Crafting Dies are perfect for any type of school-related project. Be sure to check them out, and all of the other stamp sets and crafting dies available in the Technique Tuesday shop. Thank you for joining me today!
