Head of the Class Blog Hop!

Hiya!!! You should have arrived from Shar's Blog, if not, head HERE to start at the beginning. For my first card, I started by stamping the Fun Letter Background with black ink on kraft cardstock. Then I stamped the lined background from the Get Schooled set onto the 3x4 Journal Die. I then used the Fun Stitched Edges die to cut the top. 
The teacher die cut and apple are both from the new set called Love To Learn. I gave the apple googlie eyes and drew in a mouth with a black marker. :) The number 4 is from the new Number Fun Dies. The my was stamped using the Alpha Pack. And my next card uses this new release in a totally non-school related and completely simple way...
I used the new Uppercase Fun Dies to cut out the negative of UR for my panel. I used picked raspberry distress ink to do an ombre panel for behind the letters. I covered it with clear wink of stella glitter pen. You can see the shine here...
I stamped the greeting from the new Love To Learn set with charcoal Hero Arts shadow ink. Super simple card, but I love it! :)
