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!

Love the card!!!
My favorite subject was physics!!
Favorite memories of first day of school is new clothes and new shoes!
I’d love to say my favourite subject was Math but it was English.
these little notecards are so cute!
I totally love it!!!
Love these!! Perfect for my little ones’ lunches.. I was a math nerd in school yet somehow got this creative bug too – go figure!
My favorite subject in school was English.
My fav was English. I loved writing notes in various colors of ink- even had one of those clicker pens with different colors. Guess it’s no surprise I ended up loving stamping! And Laura’s video is just too cute! I need one of those pizza-makers at my house!
My favorite subject in school was English! I had an amazing teacher in 7th and 8th grade…that made all the difference!
What a great new release. I have to say my favorite subject was English.
I liked school but don’t think I had a favorite subject. Didn’t like Social Studies very much. Loved the kids portion of your video, Laura. They are all so cute and they do ROCK. Impressive pizza toss. The mini shaker was adorable. I will for sure be making a boat load of those. Thanks for the ever wonderful videos.
These cards are adorable! I love making mini cards to give for no particular reason. The recipients are always so surprised and appreciative. My favorite subject was always English. To this day, reading and writing are passions.
Really cute! My favorite class….recess!
I love these cards too. They are so cute. My favorite class was high school English. I loved my teacher. She made diagramming sentences fun!
Wow ! I love this cards ! <3
To be honest I didn’t like school until I was an adult….then my favorite class was Microbiology – go figure! Thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite subject was English. I have been a book-worm since elementary school.
Love the video!
Cute cards/notes for kids! I had two favorite classes in school: English in elementary school & hiking around our island in middle school (to visit various historical sites and discuss their cultural significance to us islanders.)
Love your lunchbox notes, Laura!! So fun and bright!!
My favorite subject was math. Your little notecards are so cute. Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win.
English was my favorite subject. These lunch box notes are so cute. Thanks
Great little cards, thanks for the video. My favorite class was home economics, especially cooking.
English all the way.
Super nice lunchbox project and wonderful also for cards! Would also look great on scrapbook pages! My favorite subject was English; I later became an English teacher.
I am going to make them for a Children’s Hospital and send them when we send the hats we have made for the kids. Also thinking of sending few to the nursing home. I can imagine the joy on their faces, especially if they receive a shaker card.
Fun lunchbox project. Love the colorful little cards.
Adorable little cards! I think I didn’t really like school :-(
My favorite subject was art and cooking class. :) I’m totally making one of those shaker cards for my 7year old daughters lunch box. I know she will love it! Thanks for tha inspiration!
So so cute! :) Love the mini shaker! (and the kids reactions too!!)
Umm…my fave subject in school was probable literature class and of course art!

Love these. My favorite subject was math. Thanks for the chance to win.
thanks for sharing, love the cards! my fav was english.
I love love love these little cards. The stamp set and dies are super cute!
My favorite subject was history,
Favourite subject was ‘dress and design’ it was many years ago when we had subjects like woodwork and metalwork for the boys and domestic science and dress and design for the girls.
In the secondary school I loved History and Chemistry at the same way. Then I chose the second one, and now I’m a chemistry teacher in secondary school and I use some scrapbooking tips to make funniest my lessons.
These are so cute! I loved any subject with words in it–English, history, all that. :-)
I absolutely HATED first day of school. The butterflies in my stomach made me feel ill at the thought of who I was going to end up in classes with and so on. I was usually fine by the end of the day but it was just too much anxiety.
My favorite subject in school was Home Economics, learning how to sew and make my own clothes!
My favorite subject was English. I had an awesome teacher who instilled a love of Shakespeare in me. My daughter was lucky enough to have the same teacher who did the same for her! BTW….. the mini shaker card was so stinkin’ cute! I HAVE to make one!
OH, these are darling. Especially love the sweet little shaker. Fantastic dies and images.
Although I liked math, my definite favorite was reading a good book, and still is a favorite relaxation technique today.
So fun!
Totally cute!!! Can’t wait for my items to arrive to get making these sweet lunch box notes.
My favorite subject was science and I still enjoy reading scientific articles.
My favorite subject was reading, and I still love to read!
First day with new clothes and a brand new Big box of crayons!!!!!
Love Laura Bassen’s videos and cards! Great ideas and some great SSS products in the giveaway!
My favourite subject was ancient history and learning about other countries! Love the cute cards Laura made. It was always exciting to go shopping for new clothes and supplies for going back to school.
You are so clever! I love these little notes and can see using them for lots of things. And having your children add their comments was so sweet. Lovely family. Can’t wait for your next post. As for school – that was SO LONG ago for me. But I went to school in the good old days – and am thankful for that. Favorite subject? Art class of course!
English, especially writing, was definitely my favorite. These bitty cards are so precious. Love shown like this can change the world.
