nothing’s better than apple cider season
WHAT I LOVE! This card captures everything I adore about fall crafting—warm plaid patterns, earthy color tones, and a touch of seasonal sweetness. The sentiment and apple cider cups make it playful, while the subtle sparkle of the dots and twine bow add just the right amount of polish. It’s a clean and simple design with layers that create instant cozy charm—perfect for celebrating the season.
