I googled stampin up punch apple as my starting point and found Sophia's tutorial from Andrew Walford's blog for creating a punch apple. The tree template the teacher provided was a regular letter size paper so I had to scale down from the size of Sophia's apples.
I used the new 2 1/2" circle punch as my base instead and the leaves were made with the 1" circle punch. Other changes include using the Word Window punch as my stem as I tired to freehand it and it didn't look so great. I did freehand the trunk and branches and ran it through the Square Lattice embossing folder for some additional texture. I sponged the tree around the branches in Chocolate Chip. My son put the apples on the tree using dimensionals. We had to add a family banner so I used the new Decorative Label punch and then used a strip of cardstock left over from making the leaves to make the grass. (The photo was edited to remove my family's names from the other apples.)
