Hello crafty friends!

It’s almost back-to-school season!  Which makes it the perfect time to show some extra appreciation for our amazing teachers! I created this cheerful card using goodies from the Simon Says Stamp “Happy Camper” release. A cozy garden scene takes center stage, and I couldn’t think of a better home for it than inside an apple—classic teacher vibes with a handmade twist.

I used an older apple die from my stash to frame the scene, but I’ve linked a similar option in my supply list for anyone wanting to give this look a try!

🌟 Design Highlights:
🍏 Scene set inside an oversized apple die cut
🐱 Copic-colored critter gifting the teacher a bright bloom to start the school year off right
🛠️ Shovel, pot, and sprout details bring the garden to life
🎨 Bold red card base gives a pop of schoolhouse charm
📝 Sentiment strip for that just-right teacher message

This one was fun to build from the ground up, and I love how it turned out!

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!
