Like many, I have adjusted my card classes and am currently offering “to go” card kits for use with a virtual class.  Each month, I like to include a small surprise.  For the upcoming class, participants are receiving apple caramels.  Naturally, an apple tag had to be created!  The task was super simple using the Harvest Hellos Stamp Set and the coordinating Apple Builder Punch which was great since I had numerous to make. I had lots of fun stamping, coloring and punching.  

Apple Tags

Apple Tag Details:

Using the Harvest Hellos Cling Stamp Set, stamp the apple using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. For the red apple, color using the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers and for the green apple, use the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers.  To add additional color variation, the Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Marker was swiped in the center of the apples.  (It doesn’t show up in photo but by adding a slight tinge of the yellow creates brightness on the apple)  Punch the colored apples, using the coordinating Apple Builder Punch.  Punch the stem using scraps of Early Espresso cardstock and the leaves using scraps of Brushed Metallic cardstock.  Add the stem and leaves to the apple using mini glue dots. 

For the tag:  Use the Delightful Tag Topper Punch to cut one end of a 2″ x 3″ piece of Garden Green Cardstock.  After cutting tag, texture emboss using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.  Add the apple to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Complete by stamping the sentiment onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad.  With Paper Snips, trim around the sentiment.  Add to the apple using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  

Fill your treats, tie the bag top and adhere to the bag.  Tie a bow using Braided Linen Trim and add to the tag using glue dots. Note: add the bow where the hole is in the tag top.

I had fun coloring the stamped apples and was able to multitask, coloring while watching television!  Oh, be sure to look for the Werther’s Soft Apple Caramels – they are delicious! Be sure to save a few for the treat bags with the coordinating Apple Tag!
