The Apple Harvest Bundle is an exclusive release for the month of September only. The Apple Harvest Stamp set can be found on page 54 of the current July – December Mini Catalogue. Its partner set of matching dies, Apple Blossoms, were released as part of the Perfect Partners Promotion that commenced September 1.
This stamp set along with five other stamp sets have had dies created for them and all are only available for the month of September or selling out if that happens first. See another one of the sets, the This Birthday Piggie Bundle used a fist birthday card by clicking here.
The dies for this bundle are well able to be used alone or combined with the Apple Harvest stamps. There are apple blossom dies that can be used to create a gorgeous array of blossoms across a card or scrapbook page.
I am taken with the tag die in the die set. You can see it used on my card here.
I coloured the apples using Stampin’ Blends. It is always a conundrum for me when I start colouring an image I am intending to die cut. What if I stuff up the die cutting after putting all that effort into the colouring???? Should I be die cutting the image first and then colouring??? Fortunately my die cutting on this occasion was spot on!
The embossing folder used to create the background is the 3D Brick & Mortar embossing folder. This folder make a lovely wall behind the apples.
Look at all the double up dies in this die set. Saves a lot of time not having to cut out single blossoms or leaves at a time. Get several sets done in a single run through of your die cutting machine.
So if you love this new release Apple Harvest Bundle, you only have until September 30 to get your hands on it. If buying as a bundle of stamp set and dies you will save 10% on their individual prices. If you have the Apple harvest stamp set already, then treat yourself to the matching die set. Save yourself al that fussy cutting!!!!
Happy Stamping!
