Festive Friday Challenge - Back to School

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge! Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and an Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project.  We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.


Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you!

This week’s challenge FF #166 - Back to School


I used yellow, black and white for my card.  Loved the sentiment of "Best Friend" for going back to school!  As a kid it was my favourite time of the year.  I couldn't wait to see my best friends that I'd missed over the summer!

  3. Cut Basic Black cardstock 3 3/4" x 5"

  12. Cut out wide "friend" from Daffodil Delight cardstock using Die.
  13. Cut out narrow "friend" from Basic Black cardstock using Die
  14. Adhere narrow "friend" to Daffodil Delight "friend" - don't lose the "dot" over the 'i"!

  16. Adhere "best" over "friend" using Dimensionals
  17. Adhere embellishments
  18. Cut Designer Series Paper 3/4" x 4"
