So enough blabbering……let’s get to the projects OK!
Star Student
The It’s on the House © template easily transforms into a backpack!
I bet you didn’t think this template could be great for “school” themed projects and gifts too! This take “back to school” or fun gift packaging to a whole new level!!
Given the way the template comes together, I printed the back New Leaf cardstock. I just rounded the corners of the top flap closdure for my back pack top.
Teh front of the template used the “print on copy paper, and use as a score/cut guide” so I could use black cardstock for my front of the bag.
I then just made mat layers (rounding corners) for the front panel.
I found some lunch box style latches at my hardware store for $1, and away I went!
It REALLY unlatches 😀 I love it!! It’s details like that, that can totally step it up, easily! Instead of using the screws that came with the latch, I used brads! They worked perfectly!
I hand made a front pocket detail that does open and hold little notes 😀 The brad tucks the flap in. You could use little envelopes, or those small envelope die cuts by Sizzix or other die cut makers! I believe SU! has a pretty scallop one that would fit too.
No backpack is complete without the straps!
I grabbed my son’s backpack to ensure I was making them as REALISTIC as possible!
Using some hodgepodge hardware pieces, and more brads, looks pretty cool to me!
Perfect backpack! This can OBVIOUSLY be easily altered for a girl too! What I love is that this LOOKS difficult, but was OH! SO EASY!
I filled this with some fun school items! My son went CRAZY for it, as I usually do girly stuff 😀 He was so happy to have a BOY item just for him!

Just a Note set
This gift set was created using *just* the pockets from the Keeping Tabs© template using the standard template, as well as the Pretty Petite version!
They make just the perfect card holder all on their very own.
This project has a card set for A2 size cards, and then a sample with 3X3 cards-wrapped up in a cello bag with twine ribbon!
Here is the large card box
As I mentioned in the first reveal of the Keeping Tabs template, the pockets from this template are PERFECT on their own!
Even better is the fact that they are the perfect wrap for our Clearly Creative Card Box!
NOTE: Just place card box inside template, prior to adhering 😀
I used the large pocket to create a stunning Clearly Creative card box wrap, and hold 5 of these A2 size cards/envelopes.
I used the decorative mat layering template to create a pretty look on my card design as well!
So for the standard version, the box is designed much like the card. When the cards are inside, they look just like the card front.
Such a pretty gift set, don’t you think? Virtually no stamping either. Quick assembly.
Now for our Petite version
The Pretty Petite version 3 X 3 cards/envelopes!
Such a fun size when mass producing or wanting to send little notes
The card also used the layering template to create a decorative flap on our fold out note card! Just un-fold and you have plenty of room to write.
As seen in above group photo, I wrapped it up in a cello bag, then was on my way!
This is the perfect gift! Now you can see just how fun and versatile this template is too!!

Hands down… the backpack is a winner! I would have loved to do this for the first day of school this year but next year will be even more fun. A (hopefully) MSU one for my oldest DS and a kindergarten one for the wee-one and of course, a girly one for DD. Too cute!
Girl, you’ve out done yourself this month!
Hugs,
Renee

Way to go Lauren!! Fantastic samples!!!
OHHHH! I can’t wait. I am getting both MTT! Just got my first PTI order and it’s shipping today! So excited. I adore your backpack and am definitely going to do that one for a teacher’s gift. Can’t wait!
Awesome sets Lauren! Love the colours!!!
I love how you made your template into a back pack Lauren! great colors on it and love all the metal! and your notes are so pretty – I just love that the templates come in two sizes now! I’ll be buying both again this month that’s for sure!
One word…B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T!! That describes you & all your “art”! I want to meet you in person some day, just so maybe some of your talent will rub off on me! 😉
Another month with great projects. You give us such motivation to be creative.
Thanks for all the super ideas.
When I first saw the “on the house” template, I thought it made a very cute house. But all the other ways you’ve interpreted that shape have REALLY blown me away!
You have such an eye for seeing the possibilities in a shape (like the owls that came out of another template, and I could go on!).
Enjoy your Cricut. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Beautiful projects! Yes, your templates are so easy to make. The instructions are very clear!
I love all of them, you are very creative Lauren! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent!
Hugs.
Me too! I can’t wait to see what you can make with your cricut. I hope Santa will stop by my house and bring me one! LOL.
Too flippin’ cute. I must have this template so I can make that back pack. Hope you sell that hardware too. Love the colors!!
My head is spinning…stop that! How do you do all this? I love that backpack (I can see why your son went crazy for it!), and that mini version of Keeping Tabs is so adorable! Fabulous work, Lauren! Hope to see you at the release party (if I can stay awake)!
Absolutely fabulous projects. Your work is so detailed.
Love the backpack. This would be a wonderful Idea gift to give my daughter Alyssa, she was chosen the Star Student of the Week. This will be a great gift and probably make a couple to give to the teacher to give the rest of the chosen of the Star Week. Thanks again.
I did it, I purchased it thanks to you! I can’t wait to get my serial number!
