Elevating Handmade Greeting Cards: Crafting a Stepped-Up Design with the Apple Harvest Stamp Set and Dies

By | September 3, 2023

Good Morning Stampin’ Friends

Welcome to my crafting corner on this gorgeous pre-fall day!

It’s Monday and time for the Stepped Up version of yesterday’s card. To view yesterday’s simple card, view here.

Creating an intricate card design using the Apple Harvest Stamp Set and Apple Blossoms Dies can be a delightful project. This design combines stamping, die-cutting, and layering to create a visually appealing card.

Apple Harvest

The front panel (Basic White Cardstock) was embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. The apples were colored in with the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers and leaves with the Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. The branch was filled in with the light Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends Marker. The large image was die cut with the coordinating die from the Apple Blossoms Dies.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set and was stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink and die cut with the coordinating die. I added the silver trim from the Simply Elegant Trim. The silver dots are non-SU.

This is the inside of the card. The apple was colored in using the same blends as those in the front panel and the pattern paper for the envelope flap is from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.
