Apple Harvest Card

 I love fall, don't you? When I see apples, it makes me think of fall. Apple Harvest stamp set is in the Annual Catalog on page 38. The Apple Blossom Dies are on the clearance rack! Let's talk about how this card is made.

The card base is Pebbled Path, a new In Color! It's perfect for this card. Cherry Cobbler is added for color to make those apples pop. The piece of Designer Series Paper is from the Earthen Elegance DSP pack. It's the back of one of the pieces. It is die cut with one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies for some texture. 

The apple branch is stamped on Basic White cardstock and colored with, you guessed it, Stampin' Blends. I used Real Red, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake. The stamp already has some shadow details that really make the dark Real Red look great. It is die cut using the Apple Blossoms dies.

The sentiment is the Apple Harvest stamp set. It's stamped in Memento Black on Very Vanilla and die cut with a die from the Apple Blossoms dies. I embellished with a double twine Linen Thread and Classic Matte Dots.

Cutting Instructions:

• Pebbled Path: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"
• Cherry Cobbler: 4" x 5 1/4"
• Die cut DSP with second largest Deckled Dies
• Scrap of Basic White to stamp apple branch
• Scrap of Very Vanilla to stamp sentiment and die cut with label
