The Challenge is on our
I hope you guys will join that group as well...
- here's what I created to Inspire you -
- As soon as I saw that Basket die... I knew I HAD to create
a fun fall basket with apples... Apples just go hand N hand with FALL!!!! I really love how this turned out... :)
- The basket looks like this once cut, inked & put together -
- It's a Great Basket Die... but I thought the handle was too
big for what I wanted so I did a little alteration -
- So, either way you make it, it turns out wonderful, the
weaving was super easy to do as well... I actually didn't use
any adhesive to hold it together... except for the 2 corner pieces
you see in the picture that are coming up at the top flap... That's it! :)
- I also wanted to show you the word die... I always put
adhesive backing on the back of my cardstock when cutting out
word dies.. it makes it so much more easier to have the adhesive already there then to add the adhesive after you cut out your word. In the photo you can see I cut it out 3 times, so I can layer them on top of each other to give the word more dimension -
This is the double sided adhesive I use to cut out
my word dies... it can be used for anything really... I just mostly use it for my word dies....
I have it in the 2 1/2" wide & the 6" wide....

Wonderful card and love the basket of apples. TFS
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely loving this beautiful card! Fall is hands-down my favorite time of year and we get so little of it here in the south. I love your amazing basket - the weaving looks wonderful and your inking just brings it to life. Those apples look good enough to eat. Love the papers and pretty twine, everything just works perfectly together!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous fall card!! I love that basket, especially with the handle removed. Looks perfect for your big harvest of apples!
ReplyDeleteI need to look for some of that adhesive too. Thanks for the tip!!
Theresa, this is so pretty! It truly encompasses the beauty of Autumn... and most beautiful of all is a thankful heart. :o) The harvest bushel is gorgeous and I adore the whimsical background paper. You inspire so richly! And thank you for the crafty tip, too! I enjoy hearing tips and tidbits like that. Lovely work as always, my dear friend! :o)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Karen
So that's an awesome tip! And that basket of apples is equally awesome! Gorgeous card!
