I have a million things on my to-do list, but last night, I decided not to work on any of them... instead, I just stamped for fun and with no one in mind for this!
I made the main back pack piece from a 6X11 piece of chocolate chip.. .scored at: 1/2, 3 3/4, 4 3/4, 5 3/4, 9, 10 inches. The sides on my back pack fold in for expandability. I did not make the bottom like in the template- I found that required too much cutting, so I just did basic cuts and glues everything with tombow.
For the top and pocket, I used my new big shot (for the first time!!)... with the measurements I provide, the little scallop envelope with fit perfectly (I added scores similar to the template provided)... the top is using the big shot top note, cut and scored at the narrowest point (this was the trickiest part).
Original info for this backpack can be found here:

Wow - how cool is that?!! I can't wait to try this. The Top Note die is my favorite so far, but I have the scallop envelope too. This would make a great "first day of school" gift for a teacher or child. TFS!

Great backpack. Love your colors, love the big shot top note, love your little envelope and scallop. And I especially like you for giving us the dimensions of your project.
Thanks for sharing.
