Autumn is always a favorite time of the year with the changing of the Season: cooler temps, pretty colors and being able to go out enjoy all of nature with it’s bounty and beauty. There’s also nothing better than freshly picked apples from the orchid too! It’s something that I love to do with my husband every year at our local orchid.
So when Lawn Fawn came out with this adorable set along with a free craft-a-long class, I knew I wanted to participate!
This is the first card we created using the LF Apple-solutely Awesome stamp set and dies. For the class, we actually stamped, colored and cut out all of the images that we would be using for both of these cards. I think the fun thing about this set is arranging the images to figure out where you want to place them for your scene. Since it was a class and I didn’t have to think too much, I decided to just follow along with what I had and just enjoy the process.
I didn’t have the stencil set that they used for the class, so I had this Pink & Main Leafy Stencil that I thought would work out fine and I just blended different colors with some Oxide inks. The white panel was cut with the LF Small Stitched Rectangle dies, popped up over the stenciled leaf panel and the sentiment was stamped at the bottom before attaching the images.
- I’ve already sent this card to someone that gifted us some homemade applesauce…YUM! (Already gone!)
And here’s the second card we created for the class using the same stamp set and stitched rectangle dies. I had fun with that “cider jug” and adding a bit of sparkle to the contents inside with my glitter brush pen.
For the sentiment, I die cut it out with some LF Woodgrain Cardstock and ink blended some brown Oxide ink at the bottom of the die cut. I used some foam strips to pop it up over the panel. The white panel was done the same as the above card. I used the same stencil as the above card as well but only kept the yellow tones for this one as it seemed too busy with all that was going on with the card.
So although this was a class that I mainly followed along with except for a few minor changes, I had fun making these while getting into the Fall spirit! I hope you’ve enjoyed them as well! Thanks for stopping in!

love both of your cards -you simply can’t go wrong with Lawn Fawn. Love the words die cut out of the wood grain – perfect for this time of the year. We used to have an apple orchard close and we would take the grandkids apple picking. But….they plowed it under graded and “tried” to see lots for a subdivision – never did happen. Miss the orchard. Have a great Sunday.

Absolutely adorable cards, Vicki, and I especially love the little mice! Of course, if they’re to scale, they’re HUGE mice, bigger than the ripe apples. lol Great job stenciling those backgrounds and your coloring is wonderful.
