Happy Back to School Card with the Just a Note Bundle

School’s almost back in session – and what better way to send a little encouragement than with this playful and bright back-to-school card? I used the Just a Note bundle with the School Days stamp set to create a mini classroom scene. This card is perfect for tucking into a lunchbox, gifting to a teacher, or sending off to someone starting a new chapter!

The card base is Pool Party, and I added a striped layer created with the Patterns of Friendship die for a subtle textured background. I used the notebook edge die from Just a Note on white cardstock, then stamped a light grid pattern to mimic graph paper – classroom vibes, anyone?

From there, I built my little school supply scene with a backpack, stacked books, an arrow, a die-cut paperclip, and a heart (of course). The sentiment “Happy back to school” is heat embossed in white on black cardstock, giving it a chalkboard feel. A simple black twine bow and a few enamel dots finished off the card with charm!

Mix and match your die-cut elements in different colors to create a dimensional “scene” on your cards. Varying height and texture draws the eye and brings your project to life.

The full supply list for this card can be found further down on this blog post. You can also see the video link and the class information below!
