Orchard Harvest


Happy Fall Y'all!
For this months class we did 3 projects all using the Orchard Harvest collection.  These little projects came out so cute!  When I first saw the Perfectly Preserved set I thought to myself I would never use that set, I'm not a canner and I'm not really into the fall thing.  BUT... after seeing this first project done by Mary Bellis I just new I had to have it.  I guess I couldn't see past the end of my nose when I first saw this cannery framelit set but this set can be used for any occasion, all you have to do is change up the DSP.

                                          DSP - Orchard Harvest
                                          Fabric - Orchard Harvest
                                          Stamp Set - Friendship Preserves, Wonderfall
                                          Framelits - Window Frames
                                          Paper Piercing pack - festive
                                          Ink Pads - Lucky Limeade, Raspberry Ripple
                                          Brush Bronzed buttons
                                          Jumbo Sticky round
                                          Bigz Die - Autumn Accents
                                          Big Shot
                                          Dimensionals

To Step this card up a notch use the woodgrain Textured Embossing folder to emboss the Raspberry Ripple CS background.


For the Fabric Flower I took one fat quarter from the Orchard Harvest Fabric box and holding it long ways vertically I did a little snip at 1".  I then tore the fabric the rest of the way.  Take that piece of fabric and tie a knot at one of the ends.  This will be your starting point.  Get your Jumbo sticky round and press the knot into the middle of the round then start twisting your fabric and then pressing it down around the knot working your way out. Once at the end of the fabric just tuck it under the fabric that's already stuck down and cut the remaining if any sticky round off and place on your project.
