Square Cards Using the Harvest Hello Bundle from Stampin' Up!

The 2019 Holiday Catalog has so many great bundle sets, you won't be able to choose just one! (This year, all the bundles are listed together for easy perusing on pages 3-5 of the catalog!)

For these square cards, I have used the Harvest Hellos Bundle (see pages 5 and 49) which has the Harvest Hello stamp set and the Apple Builder punch. It is a versatile set - you can make teacher appreciation cards, back-to-school cards, Halloween or Thanksgiving cards!

For my first attempt with this bundle, I decided to make a teacher card (good for Appreciation Week or Back to School conferences) along with a Halloween card. (appropriate for that little pumpkin in your life!) Each card is 4" x 4", using these basic supplies (along with matching cardstock):

Teacher Card:

I used the Terracotta Tile gingham paper from the 6"x 6" Designer Series paper pack, along with Terracotta Tile cardstock (a 2019-2021 In-Color). For the leaf and the sentiment background, I incorporated Shaded Spruce cardstock, and a scrap of Soft Suede for the stem.

After stamping the image with the black ink, I shaded the apple with a sponge tip, first using the Terracotta ink lightly over the entire image, then adding Real Red around the edges and blending.

After that, it was simply using the Apple Builder punch to cut out the pieces!

Pumpkin Card:

For this card, I followed the same technique with the blending, only this time I used Pumpkin Pie ink for the base, while again lightly blending in the Real Red ink. After stamping the leaves, I colored them in with Old Olive marker and then fussy-cut them to add to the pumpkin.
