Crisp Apple Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and we are having a very windy, rainy day here which instantly reminded me of autumn! So I had fun creating a card with the beautiful Crisp Apple die set, combining these with the large Wood Barrel die.

I die cut five apples, a bunch of leaves and the big barrel. Having a silicone mat to place the images on makes the ink blending with Distress Oxides very easy. 

After setting the pieces aside to let them dry, I quickly created a white square card base. My initial thought was to have lots of white space on this project but later on I decided to add some red inked stripes to this piece with Distress Oxides and a stencil from my stash.

My centrepiece is a white circle (Stitched Circles Small) dry embossed with the Dapper Diamonds folder. I then glued this circle to the striped card base. To add an extra layer to the design, I also created a white fence with the Picket Fence Border die. 

Assembling the card was easy, I simply glued the barrel in place and stacked four apples before adding the fence and mounting the last apple to the bottom right of the design.

I didn’t have much space for a sentiment so I opted for separate pieces which I could add on top of each other (Punny Apple Greetings, Versafine Onyx Black ink). Lastly, I sprinkled a few Iridescent Clear Jewels across the design.

I hope this card inspired you to create your own basket of crispy apples! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Country Scenes Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and did you know that I am a big fan of coloring, especially with my Copics! If you are like me than you will also love the Country Scenes stamp and die set! These stamps do all the work for you and create the most stunning landscapes. You get three completely different looks and today I am using the ‘orchard’ stamp for my design.

I also love that this set has matching dies to make multi-layer scene building even more easier. Since these scenes can cover an entire card front, I choose an oval design for my project.

To make it easy on myself, I first stamped the scene on a piece of white card stock and then placed one of the Stitched Oval dies on top to select the best placement for my die cutting. While I had the dies out, I cut a second slightly larger white oval as a border piece for my design. I love a nice edge to frame my panels, so I cut another oval this time using the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 dies and a green  polka dots paper (Polka-dot Parade). 

My card base is also on oval, I used a smaller die from the Stitched Oval set and added the green and white oval panels with liquid glue. Of course, I needed a cute critter to add to my scene. Foxy Friends is one of my favourite sets and I thought it would be fun to have a sweet fox pick some apples. I used a little cart from this set and took a crate and apples from the Truckloads Of Love stamp. Next, I enjoyed coloring the images and scene with my Copics.

I could have added some clouds but decided to keep that part of the design simple to make space for a my sentiment which was taken from the Punny Apple Greetings. I love how perfect this goes with this scene!

After gluing the scene oval to the layered card base with liquid glue, I used foam tape to adhere my images and sentiment strip. A few sparkly Champagne Clear Jewels were scattered around the sentiment strip.

I am so looking forward to see which sweet scenes you are creating with this amazing set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Crisp Apple Fall Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi, popping in to share some fall scene cards showcasing our Crisp Apple Dies.

My first card featuring the Crisp Apple Dies uses both the large apple and the apple core pieces in a clean & simple grid-style card. To achieve that gorgeous shine on my apple, I cut the pieces from white cardstock and then inked up the outside edges with Candied Apple and Fired Brick dstress inks, leaving a portion of the white cardstock uninked for the illusion of a reflection. For my background, I embossed a piece of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder and then rubbed the surface with my Antique Linen distress ink pad, before using a blending brush to smooth out the coverage. For my greeting, I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Punny Apple Greeting Stamps onto a small pennant strip inked up to match from the Notebook Photo Corners Die (which I ran through my die-cutting machine twice to shorted a bit).

My second card pairs the smaller apple from the Crisp Apple Dies with the Wood Barrel Dies. I once again cut the main part of my green apples from white cardstock and then inked them with Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, and Mowed Lawn Distress inks. For my barrel I cut the wood slats of the barrell using kraft cardstock, inking the left edge of each with Vintage Photo distress ink by sliding a thin piece of printer paper between the slats as a mask. I then cut the metal bands from a matte silver metallic cardstock for a touch of realism. For my card background I trimmed a piece of green diagional green print from the Classic Gingham Paper pack. To frame my barrel of apples, I used the Stitched Oval Dies to cut a blue gingham print from that same paper pack and then layered it over the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Die. I completed my card by cutting the Brilliant Banner 3 dies from white cardstock and inking them up with Blueprint Sketch Distress ink in an ombre to match the patterned paper. I then heat embossed my sentiment using another phrase from the Punny Apple Greetings Stamps.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Fall Friends Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends! It’s Amanda here with you celebrating BACK TO SCHOOL time!  I can’t believe summer is coming to a close already! But, it’s time to make those teacher cards! So, I’m here with you today sharing this adorable card I made for one of my kids’ teachers! I created a lot of layers for this card to give it a ton of dimension!

First, I grabbed a piece of white cardstock and trimmed it to 4.25”x5.5”. On this panel, I lightly blended Catherine Pooler’s Oh Boy! ink all around the panel, focusing on the top portion. This will be for my background and the sky.

Next, on another piece of white cardstock trimmed to 4.25”x5.5”, I stamped the fence and tree image from the Fall Scenes Stamps. This stamp has available coordinating dies, so I used the appropriate die to cut out the top part of the panel. Then, I colored the entire scene with Copic markers. I placed 3D foam strips behind the grass, fence, and tree and then adhered it to my background panel.

The cute critters, applies, wagon, tree stump, and basket images come from the Fall Friends Stamps. I satmped extra apples, since this card is for a teacher! I colored all the images in with Copic markers. I added a few highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen. Then, I die cut each image out with the coordinating dies.

I adhered 3D foam squares behind all the images. For some images, I needed to add an extra layer of foam squares to prop them up higher (such as the deer). Then, I added everything to the scene.

My sentiment comes from the Punny Apple Greetings Stamps. First, I grabbed a piece of scrap white cardstock. I stamped the word “picked” with Catherine Pooler Rouge ink first. Then, I placed the other words on each side and stamped them with black ink. I trimmed the cardstock down into a long strip and cut a little ribbon end. I put 2 layers of foam strips behind the sentiment and added it to the card to finish it off!

That’s all for me today, friends! I hope you’re feeling inspired to make something crafty today!

Crisp Apples Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a fun card with the versatile Build-a-Bowl dies. You can fill this bowl with lots of fruits, I opted for some yummy Crisp Apples!

Instead of a normal rectangle card base, I decided to round the corners and add a fun stripe pattern (stencil from my stash and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide).

I love adding lots of layers to my card, so next I cut a panel from a blue purple paper with one of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. I dry embossed this piece with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. After cutting a smaller white piece of card stock with one of the Stitched Arch dies, I used the Woodgrain embossing folder for extra texture.

Then it was time for my centerpiece, which consists of the pretty bowl (Build-a-Bowl dies) cut from a purple gingham paper (Gingham Pastels) and embellished with a purple border (Ribbon and Lace Borders).

I cut a bunch of apples and leaves (Crisp Apples) from white card stock. I love that you get two sizes and colored them with Distress Oxide Abandoned Coral, Saltwater Taffy, Peacock Feathers and Scorched Timber.

My combined sentiment was taken from the Punny Apple Greetings set and stamped onto a white Brilliant Banner 4 with Versafine Onyx Black ink and a red ink from y stash. I stacked this banner on top of a purple one. A few Champagne Clear jewels were added for that extra sparkle.
