You're the Apple of my Pie

We're back at Time Out with our Pick Two Challenge #323 with the following words:

Gingham, Circle, Basket, Harvest, Baking Apple

I used all the words but basket. You only have to use two, but you may use more!

Fall baking is just around the corner and apple pie sure sounds good to me! I've made this pie in a box before here. It's a fun project but I have to make the box from scratch, so it did take a good portion of my day. (I didn't buy the die at the time) We hope you will join us with a fall card over the next two weeks!

Lawn Fawn is our wonderful sponsor offering our winner of the challenge a $25.00 gift card to their store. The winner will also be invited to be a future Guest Designer at Time Out.

We are joined by Cathy Preissing of MARKERS, INK & PAPER, and winner of Time Out #317 as Guest Designer. Cathy is a very talented crafter with a great eye for design and who has mad coloring skills! 

Here's what I used to make my card:

• Spellbinders Sky View Pies, Dish It Up and Delicious Decorations die sets, Perfect Pie Sentiments stamp set
• Pink & Main Spring Ginghams Patterned papers
• Altenew Obsidian Black ink pad
• Silver mirror card stock
• Acetate
• Twine

The box took the longest to make because I had to do math, make a prototype, make the real one, and figure out how to complete a couple of steps that I did out of order and still make it turn our correctly.

Making the pie was so easy... just die cutting, adding ink blended "browned crust" and assembling it. I decided to put the gingham on an angle and then also added the box off-kilter. I love cutting the fork and knife out of mirror card stock to look like the real deal.

It took me a dozen or so tries to stamp the sentiment and not smudge it or get a partial stamping from it. It stamped fine on scratch paper!!

So, see you in the gallery??!!
