Sneak Peek of Apple Blossoms Dies for Global Design Project 357

This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo and Tahitian Tide. The colors made me think of apple blossoms against a blue sky, and I was excited to give you a sneak peek of a new die set, Apple Blossoms Dies, that will be available in September.

Apple Blossoms

The dies coordinate with the Apple Harvest Stamp Set from the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog that is available now, which you can see in my Product List below. Beginning September, the dies can be ordered (#160255), or in a bundle for a 10% savings (#162526).

I began by using an Apple Blossom Die to give scalloped sides to Basic White Cardstock, 3 1/4″ X 5 1/2″. Then, I used a Blending Brush with Tahitian Tide Ink to create the sky for a background.

Next I used Apple Blossom Dies to cut two branches from Soft Suede Cardstock, seven leaves from Pool Party Cardstock, three blossoms from Basic White Cardstock, and three blossom centers from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock.

After gluing everything in place, I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used another Apple Blossom Die for cutting, and attached it with Mini Dimensionals. “The greatest gift is a good friend” is one of three sentiments in the Apple Harvest Stamp Set. Don’t you love it?

For a bit of embellishment, I placed Iridescent Pearls in the center of the blossoms.

See what our designers created, then play with the colors, and hang your design in our gallery.
