Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am so happy to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with some apple-themed projects that feature new products from their latest release. This release is absolutely gorgeous, so I hope you'll love it as much as I do!
All of my cards today feature the yummy new Crisp Apple Dies. For all of my cards, I die cut a variety of both large and small apples from a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock. To add color, I then blended each apple with a combination of Candied Apple, Lumberjack Plaid, Ground Espresso, and Scorched Timber Distress Inks. I blended my darkest colors on the left side of my apples and worked my way to the right with my lighter colors, leaving a very light spot on the top left portion of the apple to give it more of a 3D appearance. I did the same for my leaves, but used Mowed Lawn Distress Ink instead.
For my apple core area, I die cut it from a piece of light beige card stock and lightly blended the bottom left area of this piece with some Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink.
I then added a
rectangular layer of lattice and scalloped circles with a piece of white card
stock that I had die cut using the Frilly Frames Lattice Die Set. Next, I added a red circle
to which I adhered a white scalloped circle that I had die cut using the
beautiful Scalloped Circle Mat 3 Dies. Lastly, I added my apples with
some 3D foam adhesive tape as well as my sentiment (from the new Punny Apple Greetings Stamp Set) that I had heat embossed
to a strip of black card stock with some Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.
For my second project, I combined the Crisp Apple Dies with the new Wooden Barrel Die Set. After ink-blending my apples, I went ahead and die cut my wooden barrel from a piece of Kraft card stock. I then added some shading my barrel by blending the vertical slats in the barrel with some Ground Espresso and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink to give it more depth. Next, I die cut my "metal" barrel pieces from some silver shine card stock to make it look more realistic.
To give my background some texture, I die cut my red background piece with the new Buffalo Plaid Straight Die and then layered it with a piece of white card stock to which I had added some more texture using the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I also added a red scalloped circle once again using the Scalloped Circle Mat 3 Dies and layered it with a white stitched circle that I had die cut with the Stitched Circle Small Dies. To finish my card, I again heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a banner that I had die cut from red card stock using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die.
For my last card, I combined the Crisp Apple Die Set with the previously released Slimline Scalloped Frame and Slimline Nature Border die sets. I also added some cute little mice that I had stamped using both the Harvest Mice and Merry Mice clear stamp sets. I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, colored them with Copic Markers, and used their coordinating die sets to cut them out.
For my background sky, I lightly blended some Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink and added some spatters of diluted Copic Opaque White Paint and some light brown dots from Copic Markers for added interest. I also added some white ink spatters to my grass area after I had ink-blended it with some Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. I stamped my sentiment from the Punny Apple Greetings Stamp Set onto the top right corner with black ink and once again added my images with 3D foam adhesive tape for a pop of dimension.
I hope you enjoyed my cards today and will check out these amazing new products! Thanks so much for dropping by! If you want more card making inspiration, feel free to also check out my Instagram Feed! Wishing you all a lovely day!
