Good morning and TGIF! Wanda is here today with a super fun fall project that has me craving some cider! Before we get to her project, just an exciting heads up! One week from today, we’ll start sharing sneak peeks of this year’s holiday collection!
This year’s holiday collection is called A Song of Christmas…it’s chock full of 31 new products that we can’t wait to start sharing with you!
We’ll start sharing sneak peeks next Thursday, and the new collection will go up in the shop on Friday, October 7.
Now let’s hear from Wanda and her sweet project for today…
Hi crafty friends! I’m so happy to be joining you here today on The Greetery Blog for TGIF! It’s always my pleasure to share a project with you! Fall is here and it’s my favorite season! My card was inspired by going to the apple orchards by where I live – cider, donuts, apple picking….all those wonderful early Autumn activities! I used two brand new Greetery products, and a few of my previously released favorites to create a vintage themed apple card!
My finished card is an A2 cream card base that I covered with red cardstock. I layered text paper, gingham, woodgrain, and a bit of ribbon from my stash to serve as the vintage background for those delicious apples! I used both the rectangle and circle Crimped dies to make a frame for my sentiment and apples.
I die cut the apples, branch, leaves and flowers from colored cardstock. I inked the edges of all the pieces with Vintage Photo distress ink. I also splattered on some of the ink to ‘age’ my project. I die cut the awesome Patchwork die from text paper. LOVE that zig zag edge!
The sentiments are from the Fall Foliage Stamp Set and I stamped them in brown ink. I added the ‘happy’ onto a small banner. I added some pearls as embellishments. I used all my go-to elements for vintage themed cards: inked edges, ribbon trim, text paper, and pearls! Can’t go wrong!
Have a great weekend, and happy Autumn! Take care and I will see you soon. Until then, happy crafting! Wanda

This one is so ‘delicious’ love the patchwork die and piling on the crimped products gave it such great dimension. Love the colors and how sweet are those blossoms. Can’t wait for the upcoming release and I can’t believe how quickly Christmas will be upon us. TFS, my lovely friend …
