Hello Lovelies! More often than not when looking at a new release, I always gravitate to the stencils, and it's even better when the stencils have layers!
Back to school time is just around the corner in Georgia, so I've made a little Teacher card with this adorable Layered Apples stencil set from the Just A Note release. Teachers deserve all the hugs for everything they do and this is just the smallest way to say we appreciate it.
I must confess, my Distress Ink reds are still my favorites, the colors are so lush and rich and perfect for this project!
Let's take a look at the key supplies.

Here is the completed Layered Apples stenciled background. Take a last look before we cut it up for our card!
Trim the stenciled background to 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
Fussy-cut one of the apples from the left-over section of the background; cover the apple, stem, and leaf in Glossy Accents. Set aside to dry.
Trim the "You Have Made a Difference" Reverse Teacher Sentiment Strip
Use the Teacher die to die-cut Black Glossy Cardstock. Die-cut the outline out of white cardstock. Adhere the word to the outline.
Emboss a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Kraft Cardstock with the Gradient Dot Embossing Folder
Adhere the embossed cardstock to a card base; pop up the stenciled background with foam tape and then adhere the remaining die-cuts, sentiments and embellishments to finish
How can you not love this stencil?
The Glossy Accents makes the apple look even more yummy, though I am going to have to work harder to get the bubbles out next time!
Though the Gradient Dot embossing its subtle, somehow it makes a big difference.
A simple card that comes together nicely for your favorite teachers.
Now I am suddenly feeling the urge to rainbow this....
Lovelies, I am having a lot of fun not overthinking my card-making lately, so I hope that you liked this simple card and will give it a whirl.
Happy Crafting!
