Peachy Keen Stamps Guest Designer Day 3

Wow, this week is flying by. I'm already half way through my Peachy dream come true designer spot. For today's back to school project I made some backpack shaped treat containers.



So those are the fronts and here are the backs of the backpacks:

The backpack pattern comes from a Cricut Cartridge called 'Life's a Party'. I first saw this backpack container on my friend, Simply Pam's blog. If you are interested in seeing a video tutorial on it click HERE, and you can go to her blog post.

Now onto the details for each of these...


This one was made using textured cardstock. I cut the container out and then I made my own patterned paper by stamping it with BEAUTIFUL sentiments off of PK-851 Teacher Says! Phrases & Faces. This set is AWESOME. As a mom I am all for having these kinds of encouraging sentiments on hand. I was going with a star theme on this one, so for my home made patterned paper I filled in with some awesome star stamps from Market Street Stamps' 'Blast Off' stamp set. And yes, that darling star in the front is a Peachy Keen Stamp. All I did was cut out a star from George and Basic Shapes at 2.25" and this darling 'You are a star...' stamp fits perfectly inside. 


For this backpack, I started with a basic piece of patterned cardstock. I stamped it randomly with the same 'Teachers Says! Phrases & Faces.' However, I also incorporated a few stamps from Emma's 'My Teacher Rocks!' set. I cut an apple from the Create a Critter cartridge and stamped it with one of the adorable faces that comes with the 'Teacher Says! Phrases & Faces.'

I want you to see just how cute this set is, so here is a picture of it...


I'm not a school teacher, but I think this set is PERFECT. Plus it comes with 3 adorable 'Basic Paperdoll Faces.' Love it!

Okay, I won't keep you any longer for today. Thanks for dropping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS day! And thank you so much for all your sweet comments. They have been so fun to read! Hugs- Glora

The Blog Candy for this week, which was generously donated by Peachy Keen Stamps, is the new Winter Wonderland Face Assortment.

  2. Glora, I really like that backpack pattern, and the idea of making your own paper using stamps is genius. I'm not a teacher either (more of a student of life!), but these stamps would make super gifts to the teachers in our lives. Thank you for sharing and for the opportunity to win some PKS!

  64. These backpacks are so cute. I love how you stamped your own paper. I don't have that cartridge, but I know there's a backpack on the Campin' Critters cartridge I could use. I want to make a similar project for my granddaughter. I'll have to get busy to get it in the mail for her to open when she has her first day of school. Thanks for the inspiration.

  68. These backpacks are so cute! My girls actually *decorate* their own backpacks with pens, and they have a similar look. I should try to make matching backpack treat boxes for them--they would love it!

    You are so creative. :)
