PPP: Love You to the Core

Good morning!  This past weekend I went apple picking with my family.  It's something we love to do every year. Eating one of those apples this morning reminded me of this card I made wih Pretty Pink Posh's newest release.  

I had so much fun stamping again (I tend to lean heavily on dies these days) and used the new Patterned Apples Stamp Set to create my background.  I trimmed that panel and adhered it to the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die. 

I used the sentiment as the focal point.  The "thanks" comes from the new Many Thanks Shadow Dies and the stamped sentiment is from the Patterned Apples Stamp Set. 

I added a little apple from the Fall Basket Dies, which I thought paired perfectly with the sentiment and adhered everything on top of an Eyelet Circles Die.  Blending ink on the border of the eyelet circle helped it stand out just enough from the background. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you are off to a happy start of your week. :)

SSS Stamptember Waffle Flower Collab: Hello Sunshine

Hello, friends!  Today's Simon Says Stamp's Stamptember collaboration is with Waffle Flower, and I'm excited to share this limited edition stamp set with you.  It's called Hello Sunshine and it's full of warm, encouraging, heartfelt sentiments.  I truly love it!  

I pulled out Waffle Flower's The View Die and their Nesting Circles Dies to create this serene scene.  I used a delicious combination of Concord and 9th colors for the layers: (starting from the bottom) Cayenne, Sorbet, Grapefruit, Nectar, Powder, Midnight.  

I repeated Sorbet and Nectar for the sun and just love the idea of the rising sun paired with the Hello Sunshine sentiment "keep looking up".  It's so hopeful! 

I used the largest stitched rectangle from the A6 Lacy Layers Dies to cut a wheat card base that would quite literally frame this pretty scene.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Remember this fantastic set is only available while supplies last, so make sure you grab yours quickly.  Have a blessed weekend!
