The school year has been in session for a couple of weeks now and everyone is starting to get settled in. Today's card is part of a series of cards that I have made. I call them my "Back to School" set. This card, in particular, can be given to a teacher, office personnel, or an assistant...the choice is totally up to your child!

I used Pumpkin Pie Cardstock for my base. I used Basic White for the inside of my card, and the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper (which has now retired) for the top layer of my card. I set aside two strips of paper, the larger one was with Pumpkin Pie and the smaller strip was basic white. I stamped my sentiment on the white, using a saying from the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set. Using my Paper Snips, I made one side of each strip into a banner or flag piece. I took one of the basket dies, one of the basket stamps, and the pile of apples stamp from the Cheerful Basket Bundle. I used the Early Espresso Stampin' Ink Pad to stamp the basket on Early Espresso cardstock. I then cut that out with one of the dies. I took the apples stamp and stamped the image onto some Basic White cardstock, using Black Memento Ink, and cut that out with a die cut as well.
I colored the apples and leaves with our Real Red and Olive Green Blending Pens. Using the Multi-Purpose Glue, I adhered the apples' end to the basket's top end-back side. I adhered the whole basket of apples with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Next, I took my Basic White strip and adhered that to the Pumpkin Pie Strip with the Stampin' Seal. Then I placed the entire sentiment on the card with Stampin Dimensionals as well.
Cutting 11" of the Embroidered Ribbon, I made a bow and adhered that to the basket with a mini glue dot. To top it all off, I took the Take Your Pick Tool and placed 3 Brushed Brass Butterflies on the card. I burnished the card with my Bone Folder, and it was finished!
