Hello Apple Season - Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn

   While the weather continues to be decidedly 'not fall', card making for the change of seasons is in full swing.  I designed this apple themed card for my last class to give my stampers a sneak peek of the upcoming new bundle More Than Autumn.  


  I love some hot apple cider on chilly fall days and the More Than Autumn bundle is just adorable for drink themed cards.  I pulled together what I thought was a great autumn color combo and got to work!

  The base is Copper Clay and then we used 3 panels to create the background.  The top is Cherry Cobbler which is stamped with the same color of ink using the 'apple' word stamp.  The middle panel is Garden Green embossed with the Forever Plaid embossing folder (coming soon!) and the bottom panel is Copper Clay stamped with the 'cider' word stamp in the same color in.  A trick to get panels like this lined up perfectly is to mount them on a piece of cardstock- we used Very Vanilla- and then trim the edges making sure every thing is squared off.

  We used the Spotlight on Nature dies to cut a Very Vanilla circle and then added the other elements.  The cut is stamped in Copper Clay on Basic Beige, and then the cuff is also stamped in Copper Clay on a small piece of Country Lace DSP and fussy cut for some easy paper piecing.  The apple is stamped then colored in, die cut and popped on a mini dimensional on the cup.  We also added a little cinnamon stick peeking out of the top of the cup.

  Hello is stamped in Garden Green right on the circle and then the "apple season" is die cut in Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Pro tip- use adhesive sheets with the cardstock when die cutting the word dies in the More Than Autumn set, it will make it so easy to adhere them to your card front.  Skip trying to get glue on the skinny letters!

  A Garden Green linen thread bow and some Earth Tones Shimmer Gems are the final details to finishing up this fun card!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
