Back to School Card: Beady Pencil
Designing your own cards is easy when you have fun stickers and die cuts like these back-to-school designs. We simply embellished the images with double-sided Treasure Tape, colorful Kreinik metallic threads, and clear Diamond Beadlets for that extra sparkle. These make great gifts for a teacher, or as invitations for a back-to-school party.
Designed by Dena Lenham for Kreinik
