I found these three card bases and the already-cut patterned paper &. mats in the "In Progress" bin. Who knows what happened that I didn't get to finish the cards, or why they've been in that bin for YEARS. But when I saw them in there I decided to finish them off. Since the apple print would match my new apple dies, I was off & running.
I have a walkthrough of my cards on YouTube:
Since all the patterned paper was already trimmed and I couldn't remember my original plan I just added some narrow gold tape and gold peel off border stickers to the mix. It was fun to use my new Thanksgiving stamps as well.
This card has a simple box pop up inside for a little something extra.
Using the Stitched Apple Frames, I created a sweet shaker for another card.
I enjoyed the soft colours in this patterned paper and I'm happy to have the cards finished and ready to send!
The third card has a pop up inside using Karen Burniston's new Twist Flower Pop Up. I'm going to have so much fun with that one!
Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.

I decided to cancel the subscription that provided linked thumbnails to what products I used on my cards. It was costing me out of pocket each month, so I’m back to listing what I used with a few affiliate links included.
