Apple cards

This was the fourth set of cards I made as one of Papercraft Inspirations magazine testers. I love paper piecing - it's such an easy yet striking way to create images. These apple cards use a packet of Christmas papers but the red and green checks look great for fruit.



The tiny buttons used as seeds came from a big packet I got in Poundland. The letters spelling 'apple' are from my big stash of leftover letters that I separate into little boxes - it was a bit of a bore to do initially but it's great for making up ransom-style titles.

The red heart button on the other card is from Doodlebug and the stamped letters are a tiny set by Studio g.
