Wednesday welcome my stampin friends!
On Wednesdays we have a new challenge at Make The Cards Challenge! Here is our newest challenge –
For many people, it is that time of year again!
When I was designing this card, I was missing the fact we no longer have an apple punch or stamp. So, I got creative!
I used a solid pumpkin die from the Detailed Pumpkins Dies!
I added a hand cut stem and a die cut leaf from the Pierced Blooms Dies to each apple. Sure looks apple-like now to me!
For the sentiment, I die cut the shape first. It is also from the Pierced Blooms Dies. I got strategic when I stamped it. It is from the Many Messages. I used the Stamparatus to stamp only that one image on a already cut surface.
I’d say not to bad of a job!
This card would be great for a teacher or a student going back to class this fall. These words ring soo true. Especially here in Texas where the Covid variant cases have skyrocketed in children and schools are back to wearing masks again.
Please join our challenge this week at Make the Cards Challenge! We’d love to see your creations! We all use a variety of products, so use your favorite and join us!

Thanks Alicia! Sometimes you have to think outside the pumpkin! Lol!
Allisa says
Such a fun card! Your “apples” really pop against the black gingham background. Great job thinking outside the box to create your apples!
Libby Fens says
Thank you Allisa!

I absolutely love your card. You used such bold colors with a stark neutral gingham calming it down. Amazing!
Libby Fens says
