Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme. This month the theme is Summer Fun!
APPLE HARVEST
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Bubble Bath c/s was added on top.
- A 3 x 4 piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Paper was added across the center.
- The Countryside Corners Die was cut from Basic White c/s and the greeting stamped at the bottom with Pecan Pie Ink and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two apples were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White c/s and colored with Lemon Lime Twist Combo, Granny Apple Green Combo, Old Olive Combo and SU100 Stampin’ Blends. They were cut with the Apple Blossoms Dies (still available on the Clearance Rack, so make sure to grab them!)
- The branch was cut with the Apple Blossoms Die from Pecan Pie cardstock and adhered towards the top. I cut the branch off so I could get a little more distance between the branches for the size of the apples. The apples were added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A small and large flower was cut with the dies from Basic White c/s and colored with the Blending Brush and Bubble Bath Ink. They were adhered around the apples with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Four leaves were cut from Old Olive c/s and tucked around the flowers. They were added with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two yellow Four Pack Tinsel Gems were added to the center of the flowers.
This card was lots of fun using the bright green apples with the new Bubble Bath pink! LOVE the colors together! Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!
