Hi there creative and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here today on The Greetery Blog! It’s September! The ‘ber months are here and I am elated! September means the beginning of Autumn and thinking about all the things that accompany that. For me, one of those things is apple picking! We live near tons of orchards and we always make a trip for fresh cider, apple donuts, fun photos, and of course a caramel apple. That is the inspiration for today’s card!
I used a warm color palette of browns and reds, with just a pop of green! I really have loved this Caramel Apple Die set ever since it came out. So fresh and yummy.
My finished card is an A2 card base made from kraft cardstock. I started the card by die cutting all the pieces of the Caramel Apple Dies (apple, caramel, stick, leaves, and bow). I gently shaded the pieces using matching Distress Inks and then glued all the pieces together. I stacked three caramel die cuts to make that part stand out more! I added white gel pen accents to the apple to make it appear shiny.
I die cut a cream tag using the Tag Team Duo Die. I stamped and die cut the word ‘core’ using the Fall Foodie Phrases stamps and dies. I stamped the matching smaller sentiment onto a Pretext Banner die and used light brown ink.
My finishing touches were a tiny bow die cut from gingham, and those pretty red hearts. This card makes me hungry!
I used a simple card layout and lots of foam tape to make the pieces stand up off the card.
That’s it for my project for today. Crunch! I hope you have a wonderful and creative day. It’s my pleasure to share with you, and I look forward to sharing with you again soon. In the meantime, happy crafting and happy fall!
XO Wanda
