Best Teacher Ever by Jen Shults, Stamps and dies from Verve Stamps

My card for today is a quick thank you card to add to my stash of thank you cards to give to the kids teachers. I LOVE the Teacher’s Count stamp set. It has such FABULOUS sentiments and the apples are so fun. I’m also putting together a set very similar to this of blank note cards to give to one of my daughter’s teachers this year.
