It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week, the lovely Joanne has a Clean and Simple Challenge for us: Clean and Simple Apple(s)! How fun is that!
You know me…clean and simple is always a challenge. But I felt pretty good about this one, especially since I own Stampin’ Up!’s Picked for You stamp set. I hope you enjoy today’s Clean and Simple Apple card!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
You know me and my love of plaid! I thought the Old Olive plaid from the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper collection would pair perfectly with a red apple. Night of Navy became an accent color, bringing out the lines in the plaid.
Speaking of red apples, I used three different shades of red on my apple: Cherry Cobbler, Lovely Lipstick, Real Red. I then used an aqua painter to blur the colors, and added just a wee bit of Daffodil Delight. Leaves, courtesy of the Lemon Builder punch, were punched from Old Olive and Granny Apple Green cardstocks. Night of Navy Medium Baker’s Twine was perfect for a cute accent bow.
The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy and die cut with a round Stitched Shapes framelit.
Three red rhinestones add the perfect amount of bling. Who wouldn’t like to receive a little day brightener like this card in the mail? I’ll be anxious to hear what you think, so don’t forget to leave a comment. And don’t forget to visit the rest of the Design Team for more clean and simple inspiration!
