Back to School Cards - 2020 Style

 When I saw this new stamp set from Stampendous House Mouse, I knew I had to have it.  I love the cute mice in masks, and thought that they would, at least, work great for Back to School cards.  I don’t always send cards, but I think that today’s kids need a little extra encouragement to move into this strange new year.  



For this batch, I stamped on patterned papers and colored with pencils.  I used a variety of dies and patterned papers from my stash to make them looks school related. I also have several sets of stamps that are school related, so I used little elements to further the school theme and personalize them.

I’d like to enter these into the House Mouse Challenge this week, Simon Says Stamp’s Wednesday Challenge (Anything Goes) and with Word Art Wednesday

These are all fab cards and are definitely a great way to take pressure of what is expected from our older children.


I work in Early Years and return to work tomorrow. I am wondering what the day will bring!

Wonderful cards- I have resisted buying this stamp set....I have too many HM that I still have not inked up! I sure love them though- hope you entered them in the HM challenge!

These cards are so cute. I really like the masks on those mice. Your stamping on patterned paper is awesome--it takes away all that empty space. And your other papers are just awesome.
