I did a quick walk through of my studio yesterday for my weekly Facebook Live! Take a look:
This is a “working” studio – I have “in person” events here but also do a lot of prepping for my online classes here on the large tables. It was in “good shape” yesterday because my neighborhood had an Artist’s Festival over the weekend- I was one of the featured artists, so got everything looking good for the show! It was a fun day and so since my studio was looking good, I thought it would be a good day to share my studio!
Let me know what you think! Do you like Vintage? I sure do!!!

Last week Stampin’ Up! released some new dies- Perfect Partners – that coordinate with stamp sets in our current catalogs. There are a lot of great dies – last week I featured the This Birthday Piggy bundle. This week, I shared a fun fold card featuring the Apple Harvest Bundle. It’s a beautiful stamp set and the dies really compliment it – making great cards for fall – apple season, and also for teachers! I have a daughter who is a teacher and so I love making apple themed cards for her and for her to share with her fellow teachers!
For my Facebook Live on September 6, I created a card with the Apple Harvest Bundle. Watch the video below to see how I made the card.
This fun fold is really easy to make! Of course you could use any punch for the “window” – for my card I used the Rectangular Postage stamp punch.
I love the combination of the Petal Pink cardstock with the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper.
Measurements for this card:
card base – Granny Apple Green – 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Basic White – 2 7/8″ x 5 3.8″
Petal Pink: 3″ x 11″ – scored at 5 1/2
DSP: 1″ x 5 1/2″, cut 2
