  • Simply choose and print out your favorite vintage apple illustrations on thicker, high-quality paper.
  • On the back of your printed image, use the following apple shaped stencil to draw the shape for your greeting card
  • To make a folding card, trace an additional apple shape directly next to the other and make sure the sides are touching.  Or you can just adjust the sizing of the stencil below.

  • Position your stencil on the back of your printed card-stock and begin to trace.  I personally like the look of cut-off illustrations or illustrations that continue on both sides.
  • Once you’ve cut out your greeting card, add a few splashes of decorations, like simple and fine iridescent glitter and colorful outlines.  If you’re using an apple tree or orchard illustrations, paint the apples in bright red to make them stand out.
  • If you want to give your apple greeting card a little shine, add a thin layer of Modge Podge glossy varnish with just a hint of super fine iridescent glitter.
