This card was made with about 90 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:

Some specific products I used:

• Spellbinders Party Time Dragon, Sir Spelly Die Set
• Spellbinders Smart Glasses Die Set
• Spellbinders Classroom Chronicles (Book and Pencil)
• Spellbinders Crayon Creations (Yay! sentiment)
• Echo Park Paper Co I Love School 6x6 Paper Pad
