New Apple Blossom Dies

I fell in love with the new Apple Harvest stamp set in the new Mini Catalog. If looks so much like my fav Sweet as a Peach that just retired! I could see so many possibilities and colors and knew I could also go back and CASE my peach favs.  THEN, SU! introduced some new dies that will be available the month of September, and that made me fall in love all over again! I created this from a card I saw by Amy Koenders for a Demonstrator meeting that I attended this week. It uses the new Gingham Cottage DSP, Gingham EF, the Apple Harvest stamp set and soon-to-be-released Apple Blossom Dies.


Measurements:  

  • Blushing Bride: 1/4 sheet
  • Basic White: 5 1/4" x 8 1/8", scraps
  • Gingham Cottage DSP (N): 1 1/8" x 5 1/4"
  • Granny Apple Green: scraps
  • Blushing Bride: scraps
  • Crumb Cake: scrap
To Make This Card:
  • Trim 3/4" from front of folded Basic White card. 
  • Cut small scallop in Apple Blossom Dies from front edge.  
  • Emboss front with Gingham EF.  Next, mount to Blushing Bride Base.
  • Attach DSP to inside right.
  • Stamp 2 "apples" in Memento Black onto scrap of white.  Color with Blends as shown. Then, cut out with corresponding Apple Blossom Die.
  • Die cut 3 large "blossoms" from Basic White. Use a sponge dauber to add a little Blushing Bride ink to the center of each flower.
  • Die cut 3 large and 3 small "leaves" from Granny Apple Green.
  • Die cut 3 large "centers" from Blushing Bride. Add to the center of each "blossom".
  • Die cut "branch" from Crumb Cake.
  • Begin with "branch" going from upper left corner, to center of front.
  • Add 2 leaves near the top, then the "blossom" (I shaped mine a little). 
  • Attach the right "apple" flat, at the end of the right "branch".
  • Attach the remaining "apple" to the other "branch" with Dimensionals.
  • Add the other pairs of "leaves" and "blossoms", spacing as shown.
  • Finish by adding Iridescent Gems to the centers of the "blossoms".
