Caramel Apples..Yum!

Just because there's a "dome" for a set, doesn't mean you have to use it! I combined a couple ideas to create this card, and I LOVE it! So perfect for fall...and no "dome"!!

Measurements:

Cherry Cobbler : 1/2 sheet
Cinnamon Cider: 4" x 5 1/4"
Pattern Party (H): 1 1/2" x 4"
Basic White: 3 1/4" x 4 3/8"

To Make This Card:

Run Cinnamon Cider piece through Tasteful Textile EF. Attach to folded Cherry Cobbler.
Add DSP piece to bottom.
Cut largest Stitched So Sweetly scalloped rectangle from Basic White.
Stamp "dome base" onto this piece lining up bottom so is parallel to the stitching, and the base fits into a scallop!
Add dome above. You can use the Stamparatus for this, but since it's Photopolymer, you can easily line it up.
Stamp one "apple" on each side inside "dome". Mask those 2 "apples" and stamp the 3rd one in the middle.
Color the images as shown, with Blends.
Attach to card with Dimensionals.
Finish with Black and White gingham bow.

Playing this weekend with NEW stamps from the "Holiday" catalog. My first purchases were "non holiday" stamps, as I wasn't, and still am not, ready for Holiday stamping, yet! (I have since added a few!) So today's creation uses the versatile Sweets & Treats stamp set. So many fun possibilities here! I adapted a card I saw that uses the Beautifully Penned SAB DSP, colored with blends to match the fun Shaker Shapes from the Annual Catalog. Give this one a try!

Measurements:

Granny Apple Green: 1/2 sheet
Polished Pink (N): 3 5/8" x 4 5/8"
Beautifully Penned DSP (N) SAB: 4" x 5 1/4"
Basic White: 3 3/8" x 4 3/8", scrap
Daffodil Delight: scrap

To Make This Card:

Fold Granny Apple Green in half.
Lay Polished Pink layer on top of uncolored DSP. Check to see how much of the DSP will actually be showing, and decide on a pattern of color and just color around the out 1/4" - 3/8" edge. (why waste your time and ink coloring the entire thing???} Attach to folded Granny Apple Green card.
Stamp "cloche" in Memento Black ink at slightly upper center of Basic White piece. Stamp "stand" below.
Cut out this "dome" and set aside
Color "stand" with Cinnamon Cider Blends.
Stamp "cupcake" on removed "dome" piece. Color with coordinating Blends as shown.
Lay the White piece with the opening onto Poilished Pink layer, leaving a nice 1/8" border all around. Glue "dome" piece, through the opening. Remove the White layer.
Now, attach "shaker dome" to White piece by removing covering on adhesive on right side of "shaker dome".
Add small "pile" of shaker pieces on top of "cupcake".
Add adhesive to back of White layer, remove rest of covering on tape (back of "shaker dome" and carefully attach to card front, enclosing shaker pieces under dome.
Attach this piece to front of card with Dimensionals.
Tie a bow in Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon. Attach to dome with Mini Glue Dot.
Stamp sentiment in Polished Pink ink onto a scrap of Basic White. Cut around, as desired. Then mount onto Daffodil Delight scrap. Attach to dome with Mini Glue Dot.
