Use one of the free 'Backpack Kids' digital stamp downloadable images to make this cute pocket card for a young one about to start school. The card is simple to make and the backpack is easily adapted to contain pockets for special notes or images. I made the card with two pockets, however simply add more layers if you would like to increase the number of pockets.
Instructions
- Pick one of the Backpack kids digital stamps to feature on the card - 'Backpack Kids'
- Save the digital stamp and resize as required (for more information about using digital stamps see - The Complete Guide to Digital Stamps
- Copy the image so there are three images on a page (or print a single image three times)
- Cut around one of the Backpack Kids images and add color as required
- Cut around different sections of the backpack and color
- Use glue to layer the pieces of the backpack leaving a gap at the top of each piece to make a pocket
- Carefully cut a slot into the final piece of the backpack (see the following page for a close up of the pockets
- Add little notes, stamped images or other items to really personalize the card
