Back-to-School
My Time To Craft Inspirational Post
Good day, fellow crafters. As the back-to-school season approaches in many parts of the U.S., it's the perfect time to channel the excitement and energy of new beginnings into our crafting projects. This post serves as the inspiration for this cycle's "My Time to Craft" challenge blog # 540, where we, as part of the design team, aim to spark your creativity with unique and innovative card designs. For this challenge, we've crafted a card that resembles a classic black and white speckled composition notebook—a nod to the school days that inspire so many of us. We hope this design encourages you to create something special and embrace the spirit of learning and creativity that this season brings.

To create this card, I first began with a piece of 6” x 6” white cardstock, black ink, and the Composition Notebook stamp from Hero Arts. I positioned the cardstock in my Misti stamping tool, then aligned the stamp. I then inked and stamped the image. I repeated the stamping several times to be sure I got full coverage.
While the ink dried, I used some more white cardstock and black ink to stamp the sentiment, which came from the Hero Arts Composition Notebook messages stamp set. I then used a label die from the same set to cut out the sentiment, followed by adhering it to the background panel.
Lastly, I trimmed the background panel to A2 size and adhered it to a white A2 card base. With that, I called the card complete.
Sometimes, it's not just about the memories a card creates but the ones it brings to life. Like the classic composition notebook from many of our childhoods, these designs can evoke cherished moments and inspire nostalgia. As you craft, let these memories guide your creativity and keep your spirit of play alive.
