Stampin' Dreams - Back to School

 
Today I'm participating in the Stampin Dreams Blog Hop.  The theme is "Back to School".  I created an adorable 3D Back Pack - perfect for some treats for anyone heading back to school or just because.   Wouldn't you be excited to find this in your back pack?


Instructions - check out my YouTube Video for tips and trips to make this project

  1. Cut Basic Black card stock 3 3/4" x 11" and score at 3 1/4", 4 1/2", 8" and 9"
  2. Cut Designer Series Paper 3 1/4" x 3 3/4" and adhere to the bottom of the Basic Black card stock using your favourite adhesive
  3. Cut Designer Series Paper 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" and adhere it to the other end of the Basic Black card stock using your favourite adhesive
  4. Cut the end off the Basic Black card stock on the 2" x 3 3/4" end using the Basic Border Die (V shaped).
  5. Fold on each of the fold lines.
  6. Cut 2 pieces of Basic Black card stock 2 1/4" x 4 - score 1/2" from each edge on 3 sides.
  7. Make a mark at 2" on unscored end and score from that mark to the point where the 2 score lines meet on bottom corner.  Repeat on the other side.  See Video to see how this is done.
  8. Cut the squares on the 2 corners out.  Fold on the score lines
  9. Add Tear and Tape adhesive to 3 sides.
  10. Adhere to the sides of the back pack with the flaps folded in.
  11. Repeat on the other side
  12. For the sides of the backpack, trim at an angle from back edge to front on each side 
  13. Cut Basic Black card stock 1" x 3"
  14. Stamp sentiment using Versamark and sprinkle with White Embossing Powder.  Heat to melt.
  15. Cut Real Red card stock 1 1/4" x 3 1/4"
  16. Adhere Basic Black sentiment piece to Real Red card stock using Dimensionals
  17. Adhere to the front of the back pack using Dimensionals.
  18. Using a piercing tool, poke 3 holes in the front flap (middle and edges).  Add brads.
  19. Punch holes about 1" from edge on top of the back pack
  20. Cut about 6" of ribbon.  Put ribbon through holes and adhere to back using Stampin' Seal.
  21. Use a Velcro Button or magnet to close the back pack
