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!

My favorite was reading like so many and I lived in the library of our small town….I cannot imagine my life without books :(
SO CUTE!!! And, Laura, your kids—LOVE their reactions!!!! Love your videos and your creations! Thanks for sharing!
My favorite class was history. Thank you for the opportunity to win
Laura, Laura, these are adorable. My favorite subject was English with a big emphasis on reading. In fact at parent/teacher conferences it usually went like this. “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but can you stop Sheri from reading so much.”
Is Laura really as much fun as she seems to be? These are just so cute. My favorite subject was science.
Cute project! – my favourite was spelling
Laura, your kids crack me up! Love the fact you included their reactions. Just goes to show how much love an unexpected little note can bring to those you care about. Guess I’m gonna have to invest in these dies and stamps now. Hopefully win the paper and stamp pads for perfectly matching creations! Fingers crossed!!!
You have the cutest kids in the world. I loved hearing their comments at the end. I think any kid or adult would love to get one of these creations! Adorable!
Love Laura’s mini lunch box notes! My favorite subject was English (primarily Reading, NOT grammar!)
I enjoyed Math & Science best. That scalloped square die is adorable!
How sweet. Your kids are so adorable. Thanks for sharing.
Your video is always full of fun and creativity, Laura! The kids do come in handy….as they are your cute card-making ambassadors!
As a retired teacher, I can tell you that these little notes can mean so much to a child!
Books have always been my favourite birthday presents from when I first learned howmto read. I still have my very first story book. I have always loved languages. Too bad I have forgotten a lot of my French and German after having been immersed in English at university.
Cute cards and the kids are adorable, too!
I have worked in schools for a long time and staff gets excited about schools as much as the children! This card is good for grown ups too!
OMG OMG OMG!! TOTALLY LOVED the Video and the KIDDOS sharing what they liked about the Mini Lunch Box Cards!! I was SMILING so BIG!! =) What a Group of AMAMZING and Great looking kids you have!! =) Gotta LOVE that they SOOOOOOOOO have your AWESOME personality and I think your oldest son needs to share a Video on his Pizza Making skills with a Recipe too!! =) THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!! =)
Wow! I loved the notecards. You also made shaker box making easy.
those would be so handy to have on hand. I always loved reading at any grade level.
My favorite subject was math….and of course art.
Super cute all these small cards !!! My favorites subjects were biology and math.
No math. Pleas
My favourite subjects at school were biology and chemistry.
Very cool!
My favorite subject in school was anything to do with reading. I also admit to have loved recess, and lunch . . . (!)
Great video, great idea!
So glad Laura included the kid test! That’s the best recommendation and earns Laura an A+. My favorite subjects were spelling and reading in elementary school, then added PE, creative writing and social studies to those as I progressed. It’s the time of year when memories abound of the “good old days.”
Wowww, love the mini shaker note!!
art art art, could have done it all day
Need these now!!!!
