Summer School with Laura Bassen
Hello and welcome to another day of summer school! Can you believe that we’re already at day 4?!
Today’s teacher is the super talented and funny Laura Bassen! Laura is using the new Lunchbox Notes stamps and dies from the Teacher’s Pet release to create adorable little cards to include in her kids lunches this year! ;)
Rather than just creating flat panel cards, Laura made small, top-folding white cards and then adhered the diecut scalloped square over top. I love the bright colors of cardstock she used for for all of her cards and the great way she embellished each one with different elements from the stamp set. She even made a mini little shaker card! ;)
To make the fun designs stand out even more on her card, Laura used foam adhesive on the focal areas to pop them off the front of her card. Such a great way to add more dimension to these adorable little cards!
To see how Laura created her card, you can watch the video below.
Summer School wouldn’t be complete without the chance to win some crafty school supplies, right!?
Just leave a comment on this post telling us what your favorite subject was in school! Did you love numbers and enjoy math, or were you most happy when your head was buried in a good book? We can’t wait to hear!
Leave your comment here by August 10, 2014 and we’ll randomly select a winner to win the prize pack shown above!
See you tomorrow for the last day of class!

Some really lovely creations. the Summer School Collection is super awesome
Math was and still is my favorite subject in school
Adorable cards! Thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite subject was math, and then in high school it was bookkeeping … although I ended up becoming a legal assistant where my math skills don’t come into play very much. How fun to find one of these cute little cards in a lunch box … anyone would be smiling out loud to find such a sweet note! Thanks for sharing!
My favorite was high school math…crazy I know!
Always loved math and still do!
Math was my favorite subject. Thanks so much for the chance to win this collection. Love it!
Cute little cards! I loved science and still do, it’s fascinating.
Fabulous little cards; so darn cute!! My favourite subject was math…and what did I eventually become? An English teacher! Yeeshhhh!!

Such an adorable set…love them.
So cute Laura!! I agree…so cute I just can’t stand it! :D TFS! (PS how about a mini shaker WITH a rainbow???)
Literature. Definitely the lit, but not so much the comp.
More adorable cards. And a house full of kids!
These are just so cute. Love that tiny shaker. My favourite subject was science and in particular biology.
Recess was definitely my favorite but since that probably doesn’t count as a subject I guess I’ll say English. I think these lunchbox notes would also be a great gift to give to teachers to hand out to the students that could use some encouragement!
writing and of course crafting! mini shaker wins the prize for sure! love them all…
Linda (:
Love all Laura’s cards but especially the tiny shaker! My favourite subjects at school were English and history. Never was any good at maths and that hasn’t improved since.
I just loved history in school; so much so that I pursued it in university and that’s what my BA is in!
Not a math fan here! All about the books for me!!
Love these little notes!! So sweet!!
when I was a kid I liked to read so guess I was the one with her nose in a book.

Laura’s cards are so darling and such fun. My favorite subject was English. I loved reading and writing.
My favorite subject in school was English.
I love that little shaker card.
My favorite subject was definitely Math – in fact, I majored in it in college. The sciences (specifically Chemistry and Biology) were a close second.
i liked science and technology but not maths so i ended up as an engineer in a hospital. this is my creative outlet.
Laura! I LOVED your video & your little cards! ESPECIALLY, the end of your video with your kids! LOL Mine would be complete HAMS!!! (Probably too silly to use! LOL) Tell them they did a SUPER JOB!!!!!!!!!!!:) By the way, GOOD JOB on getting them to cook for you! LOL :D
My favourite subject was Accounting. But i never did anything with it after high school LOL.
I was, am still am, very practical, so maths and the sciences were my best subjects at high school. I am now an accountant specialising in SMSF in Australia. I am a “creative” accountant!
Super cute!
My Favorite subject was science!! Went on to get Masters of Science degree.
Ahhh! Those really are the CUTEST! Love the bright colors! Laura, your videos are always such a joy to watch!
My favorite subject was math. I always had a thing for problem solving. Thank you for sharing!
Those are so cute! My favourite subject was biology – probably explains why I grew up to be a Marine Biologist!
Numbers were not my thing – they still aren’t. I was always reading. I fell in love with shorthand (something a lot of people probably don’t even know what it is). It was fun to be able to write and a lot of people couldn’t read it. I enjoyed school.
Love the little notes. Wish I had someone whose lunch box I could stick some in.
Fun cards!
My favorite subject was math. ;-)

I think my favorite subject in school was recess.
Followed possibly by band when I was older. Ha!

My favorites were History and Art. Loving these cute notes!
My favorite subject was art when we had an incredible art teacher…then it was English when we didn’t have that awesome art teacher anymore.
Great detail on these lovely little note cards. Love the colours!
Reading! I have always loved libraries and that feeling that being surrounded by books gives me.
Very cute lunch box notes. I liked math, science and art.
Grade School – I would say penmanship (yes I am old!)
High School – Study Hall :-)
