I can’t stress enough that you need to order the Apple Harvest Bundle today! This Friday, September 30th, is the last day of the Perfect Partners promotion, and the last day the Apple Blossoms Dies will be available. You can click on the images below to see the details, and go to my store for ordering.

To begin today’s card, I stamped the apples and blossoms in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Real Red, Soft Suede, Old Olive, and the Color Lifter.  I used the Color Lifter on the cut apple, and to highlight the round, red, apple.

Apple Blossoms

To add some interest to the design, I used two Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut a holder for the three blossoms. After cutting from Thick Basic White Cardstock, I glued the tips of the blossoms to the holder, and attached it with Dimensionals.

The background began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The first layer was cut the largest Stitched Rectangles Die from Neutrals 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper in a Mossy Meadow plaid. The second layer is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the third largest Stitched Rectangles Die.

Prior to gluing the layers to the card base, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black Ink. “Hope you are feeling better” is one of the three sentiments in the Apple Harvest Stamp Set.

The last step was attaching the apples to the card front with Dimensionals. Notice the “inside” cuts that are impossible to cut by hand.

I was inspired by The Paper Players.
