Hi all! This card and video was done for Simon Says Stamp not too long ago. Enjoy! :)
It’s Back to School month at Simon Says Stamp, so today’s card is school related. To play off the “Every Book is an Adventure” sentiment stamp, I created a line of books by cutting strips of cardstock. It’s a super easy paper piecing, but it has great impact.
I also embossed a TON on this card. The tone on tone clear embossing made those areas interesting without becoming busy. With all those books, I wanted to make sure the rest of the card was fairly “quiet.”
Anyhow, enjoy!

Waw what a great idea and I love the sentiment, perfect for someone who really loves blooks. Hugs! Mojca
I love love this card!!! I don’t even know who I’d give it to yet, but I have to make it…well first I need those stamps!
Super cute Kristina!! love all the ledger embossing with the books! :D
This is genius!! I work in a school library so may adapt some of your ideas and make a poster!!
I go back next week. Thanks so much for all your inspiration. You have made my summer so much more fun. I went through withdrawal when i was on vacation and didn’t have access to a computer.
Kristina – this card is beautiful! I’ve never commented on a video of yours (although I’ve watched many!), but I couldn’t resist the urge on this one! I guess I’m a little biased since I’m a teacher and love books, but seriously – so cute!
I was wondering about those little books. It looked liked you had cut them out individually but I didn’t realize until I watched the video (which I loved as usual) That you did not use a stamp for them at all! So clever! Great card but it would also make a wonderful cover for a reading journal.
I love this card and of course I would b/c I am an avid reader and have been all my life and so proud to say my children now are too. All grown now but they love to read. Even my son. The card is great. Thanks for sharing.
Love the card AND the sentiment.
This card is fantastic! The books are genius! I’m ashamed to say that I usually don’t watch your videos because I can usually figure out what you did. I could not figure out the books…How simple they were!!!!!! Awesome card!
I love this card, it is fabulous! Your cleaver-ness just smacks me in the head sometimes!
Thanks for sharing ! I love reading and I LOVE this video (and all the other videos you´ve already done…)
GREAT card! Reminds me of the movie Monsters Inc.! Thanks so much for sharing :)
Another cool card. I love all the clear embossing and the way it stands out.
Like this card a lot. Will try this one for sure.

Those books look like a shelf in my library. Wonderful card!
This is a great card! I am such a book lover and all my grandkids read. This would be a perfect card for them. I would like to make this bigger and put it in a frame over my bookshelf. Thanks for the idea.
I love this card! Thanks for blogging.
This is a great project to use up old scraps.
I REALLY liked this card a lot! The colors just pop, and the black embossed background is just perfect. This card would be great in a frame for your reading area. Thank you for your inspiration, always.
I love this card, as do all the other ones you have done!! I just love watching all your videos!! They are so unique and very inspiring!! I wish I had more money so I could buy all these different stamps and supplies that you use each week lol. I’m new to this and it’s soo overwhelming bc I want everything!! Can’t wait for the next video!! Thx for sharing!!
Love it. I like all the embossing. The stack of books are fab!!!
Great Card Kristina, My daughter Maegen really likes this card. She wants me to make it for her New Teacher before start of school. She’s really wanting to impress the teacher!
Stunning! LOVE how you made the books! And love clear embossing. Great card!
