Apple Harvest Rosh Hashanah Card

Fall is upon us, and Sunday evening 9/25 started the first night of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The custom on Rosh Hashanah is to eat apples dipped in honey for a sweet new year, so I thought the Apple Harvest bundle would be the perfect one to use for this card. Of course you could also use this card for a birthday card, or for many other reasons. At this point, Stampin' Up doesn't have any Jewish holiday sentiments, but the first stamp set I ever bought from them in 2003 had many Jewish sentiments in it. If you need it, you could also type "Happy Rosh Hashanah" and run it off on card stock. Only through 9/30, you can buy the matching dies, Apple Blossom dies!

Let's make a card! Gather your supplies:
1. Sweet Sorbet--Card base 5 1/2 by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" and folded in half along the score line.
2.Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper (#159244) cut2 3/4 by 5 1/4"
3. Basic White Cardstock for the inside 4 by 5 1/4", a piece for the apple and a scrap for the sentiment
4. Stamp Set--Apple Harvest (#159944), Kindest Gnomes (#159616), Potted Geraniums (#159056)
5. Dies--Scalloped Contours (#1155560), Apple Blossom
6. Ink--Parakeet Party, Soft Suede, Sweet Sorbet
9. Blends--Light and Dark Sweet Sorbet, Light and Dark Parakeet Party, Light Pool Party, Dark Crumb Cake, Color Lifter
10. 2022-24 In Color Baker's Twine Pack (#159195)
11. Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130)
12. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue), Mini and Regular Dimensionals, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, Mini Glue Dots

Use the long scalloped stamp from the Apple Blossom Dies, cut the front right side of the Sweet Sorbet card base about 3/4-1" from the side.

Now let's stamp. Using the third largest die from Scalloped Contour dies, cut a Basic White piece. Stamp with Soft Suede ink and then color the apple with Light and Dark Sweet Sorbet, Light and Dark Parakeet Party, and Dark Crumb Cake. Using the smaller side, trace around the outside of the apple with the Light Pool Party blend. It will dry lighter, but if you want it even lighter use the Color Lifter to soften the edges. See a close up below. 

Using the Soft Suede ink again stamp a flower in the right corner and the sentiment from Potted Geraniums on the inside Basic White page. Use the little background stamp from Apple Harvest and Parakeet Party ink, stamp it off once before stamping over/around the sentiment and attach it to the inside of the card:

 Attach the .Perfectly Penciled DSP to the front of the card. Attach the stamped apple using Dimensionals. Fold a piece of the Sweet Sorbet Baker's Twine in half and make a bow with it. Attach at the base of the stem with a Mini Glue Dot. Using Dark Sweet Sorbet Blend, color 1 big and 2 small  Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Be sure to let them dry, then attach to the front.

For the Happy New Year sentiment, use the sentiment from Kindest Gnome in Sweet Sorbet and then cut off the "Merry Christmas and a" and now you have the sentiment above. Attach it with Mini Dimensionals.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
