The card I am sharing with you today has a bit of an “old fashioned” look to it. At least it does to me. That look aside, I love the card and the stamp set it is from.
Stamp Set
I hope you think this card is as cute as I do. Since I am in an older age group, LOL, I remember when there were pies sitting out to cool or waiting to be cut. This stamp set is the Sweets & Treats stamp set. (I do not have the photo of the stamp set in my supply list because it is not available yet) It is in the upcoming Mini Catalog. The catalog goes live on the 3rd of August. So just a week away!!
Here is a view of the inside with another fun stamp from the set.
I could not resist adding that candied apple to the inside. Of course since I used Granny Apple Green as one of the colors, I had to make it a Granny Smith Apple! Both of the sentiments are from the stamp set as well.
Colors
When I decided on the apple pie, I immediately had the “old fashioned” thought. So I looked for a DSP that fit the bill. It was located in the Host Rewards DSP of Pattern Party. This is an amazing pack of paper, and the price makes it even better!
All of the Designer Series Paper comes from the Pattern Party pack. And the other colors used are pulled from the paper as well. The Cajun Craze is a bit darker than the Calypso Coral in the paper but works perfectly.
Layout and Measurements
The fun fold was chosen to highlight the Designer Series Paper that is on the inside of the card. I thought it looked like old time wallpaper. The image ended up being a bit larger than I had planned, but still enough of the DSP shows.
- The card base is Cajun Craze cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4, then cut 2 1/4 off front
- The Inside DSP is cut to 5 1/4 X 4
- The front DSP is cut to 1 3/4 X 5 1/4
- The Cajun Craze front layer is cut to 3 3/4 X 3 3/4
- The front stamped White layer is cut to 3 1/2 X 3 1/2
- The inside stamped White layer is cut to 3 1/2 X 3 1/2
