It’s the last weekend for our Awesome Autumn challenge and Karin closes out the Design Team inspiration with a simply lovely water-colored Build-A-Barrel: Apple card!


Karin’s considerable talent for watercolor shines in this lovely design! Cutting Build-A-Barrel: Apple from watercolor cardstock she gave the barrel and apples beautiful color!


She created the card by layering Fruit Salad paper and a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame before popping the fruit and barrel on top. Then she stamped a sentiment from Hay There, Hayrides on a banner from Treat Cart Sentiment Add-On Lawn Cuts.

Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous card with us, Karin!

Catherine was inspired to create a brilliant “Happy New Year around the world” card!


Catherine used Peekaboo Backdrop to divide the amazing geographical vignettes. She cut the backdrop from black glitter cardstock from the Autumn Sparkle pack. She created the background with Stitched Fireworks and colorful inking. Then she added more sparkle with Chunky Glitter. She added the greeting to the top using Winter Wavy Sayings and a small Simple Wavy Banner.


Please see the supply list below for links to the sets that Catherine used for each of the adorable little scenes.

Top left: New York City – Village Heroes (taxi and fire hydrant), Virtual Friends (waving mouse), Let’s Bokeh (clock and Time Square ball), Plan on It: Calendar (2023), Simple Road Border, Large and Small Mini Slimline Stackables (Time Square building).

Bottom left: Tokyo – Shadow Box Card Mountain Add-On (Mt. Fuji), Build-A-Barrel: Apple (shrine), Bubbles of Joy (mouse), Let’s Go Nuts (scarf), Stitched Hillside Borders.

Top right: North Pole – Snow Cool (igloo), Crazy Antics (mice), Party Animal (party hats), Plan on It: Holidays (champagne glasses).

Bottom right: Kiribati – Beachy Christmas (palm tree), Happy Hugs (mice).

I absolutely love this clever design, Catherine! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful inspiration!
