Pebbles Fall Apple Cards with Paper Weaving Tutorial

I have some Apple Themed cards  to share which I created with Pebbles ultra versatile Basics Collection!

For my first card I turned to my Silhouette Cameo (using Lori Whitlock's apple shape found HERE or HERE).  I added a little stitching around the edge, stamped a Papertrey Ink sentiment onto one of their die-cut tags and then layered them with a die-cut daisy topped with a button center.  This came together quickly and yet I think it still has a lot of personality.

Up next I have a card featuring a great basic apple print paper from Pebbles Back To School Collection and a handmade apple embellishment which I created from woven paper strips and another one of Lori's apple cutting file found HERE.

My last card features yet another die-cut apple from that same woven paper.  I was thrilled to discover I could make two apples from my one woven 6x6 sheet .  I kept the rest of my card design simple using a 5" circle die-cut for my base and adding a little ribbon with a tag for my sentiment to help dress it up.

Make sure to check out my Pebbles blog post HERE where I shared how I created these fun woven apple focal pieces for my last two cards.  I always love finding more ways to use all my favorite patterned papers and this was a super fun technique to experiment with!  :)
