Summer School with Nichol Magouirk
Hello and welcome to day 3 of Summer School!
Today we’re sharing a card created by Nichol Magouirk using lots of products from the new Teacher’s Pet release! This card would be great for men and women teachers and features some awesome products and techniques!
The black embossing paste over the black cardstock is perfect for some great texture without being too obvious. And like yesterday’s card by Shari, Nichol chose to have the the Teacher die-cut be the punch of color on the card.
The layered tags and mix of stars on the background, pull this card together and make it that much more special! Those little details don’t seem like a lot, but they really make the card!
To see how Nichol 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 when your kids go back to school. If you don’t have kids in school, we’d love to hear when you went back to school as a child! Do you get to start after Labor Day? Are you already preparing for an August start date? 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!
Make sure to come back tomorrow for day 4 of class!

Ooh love the black on black. In Norway the kids will be going back to school in a couple of weeks time. When I was a small in the UK it’s the first week in september.
I love the color combo you used on the card. The kids here start this week.
AWESOME!! LOVING this!! =) WOWOWOWOWOWOW!! The Black really packs a FUN Punch!! THANKS for sharing the Video and for the chance to win!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
5th September! x
Hard to recall… I think it was before Labor Day, so lots of kids missed a few days over the holiday week. My grandkids are in year-round school, which is very different for me, but it does offer time off during the year, which is nice. Love the card- the tag is detailed and eye-catching!
Love the black embossing paste on black card stock! Fabulous card! We start back after Labor Day so we have a few more weeks of summer to enjoy!
Great creation!
Great card. My kids are grown but I always went back to school after Labor day
I don’t have any kids, but as a kid we always started in August.
Something new I have to try, black paste. We always went back to school right after Labor day. I always thought that was an appropriate name for that holiday.
After Labor Day which to me has always represented the ending of summer. I have to say I love the look of the black embossing on black cardstock. I am going to color some of my white embossing paste to use with my other colors of cardstock. Very striking! Thanks for the opportunity to win a prize!
I love the black embossing paste on the black cardstock. When I was a kid, we NEVER went back to school before Labor Day! Now I am a teacher in a Chicago suburb, and we are heading back next Wednesday (August 13th). Help!
What a great card! My kids starts back to school after Labor Day.
Love the black on black background!
Amazing card!! Grade schools go back after Labor Day but colleges go back last week in August
Love the color combo and texture on Nichol’s card.
August 25th is when they go back. This summer went by fast! Love the card you made!
We go back to school the day after Labor Day here. ;-)
Love the look of that background! Such a cool card!
Living in Australia, my kids always went back to school in Feb which is our summer. It never failed to be very hot for the start of the school year!!!
I love your card and the use of the black texture paste.
Cheers for now. Sandie :)
Love the black on black!! Thanks for the video, Nicole. My grandson starts back to school on August 20th. When I was in school, we went back after Labor Day.
My kid sent back to school today.
I go back to school on the 1st of September :)
Always faboo Ms. Nichol!! TFS! Awesome card girl!
Many long years ago we went back to school after labor day. Love the background on Nichol’s card.
I went to school in the dark ages…..tells you I’m old….we went back to school after Labor Day. My children did as well.
Love the black on black!! Great card!
I don’t have any school age going kids but when I grew up in South Africa, we started in January. A new year and very exciting start to school:-)!!!!
I and my son both will go back to school at the end of this month. I’m a college student you know, and my son will be at the college day care I attend :) We go to the same school.
I had band camp every summer 2 weeks before school started so for me the idea of a new school year came into mind at the end of July… What a wonderful time in our lives when we had no care in the world.. All I knew was I was free to do whatever I wanted for two whole months!:)
the black on black is so unique.
My guys start on August 18th. We’re scrambling to get ready :)
This is an awesome card! Love the black on black!
Oops! Was so excited to comment on this card forgot to answer the question. We homeschool so we will start sometime in Sept.
Love the black stenciled letters, and the red is the perfect pop!
Back in the day, we went back to school the Wednesday after Labor Day. Our town had a fair the last week of August up until Labor Day. When that ended, everyone knew it was time to head back to school.
Love the black on black
Love the idea of the black on black as a card base. The pop of red is awesome. My kids start school next week.
My kids go back to school right after Labor Day. They love making cards for their teachers so thanks for the ideas!
I love black and black and texture, this card is awesome, the kids in Mexico come back in two weeks!
Wonderful card, Nichol! Love your design and all the great details and texture! My younger guy starts back on 28th August and my older guy on 1st September.
I love this card! I’m an empty nesters but I work with special needs students at our school and we start Sept. 2.
In Italy the first day of school changes in every region. We live in Emilia Romagna and the first day of school will be on September 15th. Now we are at the beach and we haven’t prepare anything yet.
Wow! That black embossing paste really adds to much to this card!! Love the added sparkly stars too!! Thanks for the chance to win! :)
Totally smitten with the tone on tone embossing paste, gorgeous!
Great card! Love the tag and all the stars. My kids are finished school but they and I usually started the first Wednesday in September.
Great card.
Enjoy seeing the black on black! School begins here, Wed. after Labor Day.
Wow, what a black beauty, I love the black embossed background with those lovely tags. Lovely card for a teacher. Thanks for the tutorial.
In India, The school re-opens in summer in the month of July after summer break. My children are college going persons.
Love the texture on this card. Growing up, I started school after Labor Day. My kids, August.
Black embossing paste…. love! As a child school started in late August. Here in Virginia, we have the after-labor-day law now, so my grandkids have a little more time.
I always had to go to back to school on or very close to my birthday. It was an awful present every year! Now that I have kids though it’s a great present when they go back on my bday!
