Hello and happy August! I can’t believe how fast this summer (this year!) is flying by. Today, I am sharing two projects created with the August Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Pack It Up” ($12.50 with US shipping included in the cost!). This is an adorable die set that lends itself to a number of card themes including school and travel. And these cards could not have come together any faster! Let’s take a look!
The set contains all of the dies required to create the backpack, along with fun accessories, and two sentiments. On both cards, I used papers from the Echo Park “Back to School” 6″ x 6″ patterned paper pack along with silver foil cardstock.
On my first card, I created two backpacks – one open, with the sentiment inside the top flap, and the other closed.
- I cut out the elements and assembled the backpacks with glue. My favorite part – the silver buckles and zipper pull!
- I added the assembled backpacks to a 6″ x 6″ card base.
On my second card, measuring 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, I featured one of the backpacks along with the cute accessories.
- On this card, I die-cut the “You Rule!” sentiment with a circle.
- To “quiet” the background paper, I put double-sided adhesive on vellum and added it on top of the patterned paper base.
Thanks so much for visiting today!

Kudos to you! You assembled the buckles correctly. You should show Spellbinders the correct way! lol The second card is so cute. That black paper on the notebook is perfect. Great idea to “quiet” your background and that paper is adorable. I am so glad I am not going back to school soon!
I had to go back and look at those zipper pulls reminded me of soda can tabs. Darling cards for back to school.
Super cute backpack cards, Jean! Makes going back to school almost tolerable – LOL!! Just love all the bright colors and fun background papers too!
