All Things Apples

Big surprise... I do not have a Christmas card today!  Seems like forever ago I made this card.  It was sent for Thanksgiving, but it can be an "anytime" card.  I used the Power Poppy digital set, All Things Apples.




This card makes me feel all warm and cinnamon-y inside.  In addition to this main image I printed two individual apples and used one as an accent on the front.




The other is on the inside.




I hope all is well with you as we head closer to Christmas.  Stay safe and warm and healthy, please.  See you again soon!


Stamps:  Power Poppy All Things Apples digital stamp set, SU Itty Bitty Backgrounds  Paper:  Neenah Classic Crest Super Smooth Solar White, wood grain designer paper  Ink:  Printer, SU Close to Cocoa  Coloring:  Copics  Dies:  Memory Box Stitched Scalloped Circles, Memory Box Stitched Circle Layers (inside), Joy Crafts Square Frame

Now you have me feeling all warm and cinnamony inside, too, Leslie! And boy would that taste good with my cup of coffee! I love the vintage baking scene, complete with doily, and the inside is fabulous, too! Hugs, Darnell

So pretty. It's nice to take a little break from the Christmas cards. The images look fabulous on your beautiful die. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Love this card. It does give off a vibe of home and comfort. Like the doily look in the background. Lots of beautiful elements. Great card.

Definitely a warm looking image can smell that pie from here and love the die-cut frame-just trying to catch up!

Love both cards Leslie. The first one deserves a frame and I love how you combined stamping with die cut. The second is CAS at its best.

Yummy design with the apple pie and gorgeous apples. The colors are awesome and I just love the whole layout. That frame works so well to bring the focus on the main design. And set against the wood paneling it really makes an impact.

What a great card for Thanksgiving! It looks very warm and inviting. I like the die they are sitting on. The inside sentiment looks great with the apple.

I thought I could smell apple pie! Love the warm feeling to your card Leslie, as always beautifully coloured. Love the wood grain background suits this card perfectly. Great use of the apples front and inside. Happy to see your post today. Have a wonderful day! Hugs,

Beautiful, you did a fabulous job of coloring all of this, especially the pie, that would have been my hardest thing. Your apple is so real looking it blended right in with the ones that you have with the card. I just love your framing of the whole thing with those dies, so perfect to go with the food theme!
Hope all is well with you health wise too!

I can almost taste the cinnamon! Your apples look actually better than the real thing. Love your artistry, Leslie! The layered dies are perfect - crisp and fresh!

Oh wow!! I don't know what it is about these kitchen type cards but I just love them! You make them to perfection and the background and die cuts are always just right! The apple is so amazing!
