The Best Dragon Student! A Fun Back to School Card!

Hello everyone! We are clearly in the dog days of summer...already! It's so hot! Our garden is thriving and we are trying to do the outdoor stuff in the early mornings and then come inside where is nice and cool and do some crafting (after indoor chores are done)! Thank you for stopping by, we are so glad you did

This card was inspired by the TOP Sketch #45! This card was made with about 60 other school cards! My mother and I saw that Card of Kindness were in desperate need of school themed cards of all kinds! For students, for teachers, graduations, teacher appreciation, school is cool, etc.! So we buckled down and made a bunch of different school themed cards that we actually just mailed off during the first week of August! I loved the Spellbinders adorable dragon, Sir Spelly! I thought that a student would love to get a dragon with glasses and a pencil, of course, on a brightly colored card! So I made this super fun school themed card featuring Sir Spelly, the cutest school loving dragon!!! 

Here is the card:

Products I used:

• Spellbinders Party Time Dragon, Sir Spelly Die Set
• Spellbinders Smart Glasses Die Set
• Spellbinders Classroom Chronicles (Pencil)

This card was inspired by the summertime blues challenge for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. I also made this card for a friend who lost their little pup!

I used a mixture of stamps and some fun puppy paw print paper from Unity Stamps to make this card! I loved how it turned out! I am joining a couple different challenges with this card, links near the end of this post! Hope you will check them out and join in! 

Here is the card:
