Hi crafty friends! I'm so happy to be joining you here today with a new project for The Greetery Blog for TGIF! (The Greetery Inspiration Friday!) It's always my pleasure to share a project with the Greetery!!! Fall is happening 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! Man, I am so super grateful for the recent change in the weather. Cool mornings are the best! I feel alive again!! And it's coffee season! LOLZ…every season is coffee season! What are you up to this weekend?? For my card today, I used two brand new Greetery products, as well as a few of my previously released Greetery favorites to create a vintage themed apple card! (Apples again!)
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. This card makes me happy!
Here's a side view to show my layers!! Those apples are SO delicious!!
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 and a sponge dauber. I also splattered on some of the distress ink to 'age' my project. I die cut the awesome new Patchwork die from text paper. LOVE that zig zag edge!
Happy Autumn!!
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!
I really love all the little details… The way the stems tuck into the apples, all the variety of leaves, the little blossoms….
That's it for me today!! How do you like them apples?? Hee hee. Wishing you Happy Autumn and a Happy Weekend!! XOXO
