Harvest Hellos card with an apple punched from Ornate Gardens DSP

A Simple Thank You Card

October 24, 2020|Posted in: Creativity, DIY

Recently, I borrowed my friend’s Harvest Hellos stamp set and Apple Builder Punch. Its a bundle I almost bought when it premiered in a Holiday catalog, then it carried over to the Annual catalog…and I still haven’t gotten it. So thank you, Julie.

I used the stamps and punch for one of my October Monthly Stamp Class projects, which you can see on my Instagram account.

Those cards were made by stamping the apple or the pumpkin on paper from the Brights Designer Series Paper Collection. Stamping on DSP is a simple thing we often forget about, but it can be a great alternative to coloring. While scrolling through Pinterest, I saw the apple stamp punched from the plaid of the Toile Tiding DSP (by Patty Bennett).

Love the plaid, so I borrowed that idea and made this simple thank you card.

But I didn’t stop there! I stamped a red toile apple from the same DSP, another from the Ornate Garden DSP, and a green apple from the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP.

Its an easy card to make. First, stamp the apple on the DSP of your choice. I used black ink for all of mine, but obviously Early Espresso or Soft Suede would work well. Use  DSP or cardstock scraps for the apple stem and leaves. The circles were cut with the Layering Circles dies, but you could easily use circle punches or a simple square mat.

My last card is a slight variation of the design. It’s my Gilded Autumn mint apple, layered on a center background of Cinnamon Cider from the 2020-2022 In Color DSP, all on a Just Jade card.
