This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is “Deck the Halls”…any type of Christmas greenery can be used on our cards! Of course, I grabbed my Christmas Pinecone Dies right away!
CHRISTMAS PINECONE DIES
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Evening Evergreen cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Soft Succulent cardstock was embossed with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder and added to the front.
- The pine branches were cut from Basic White and Evening Evergreen cardstocks with the Christmas Pinecones Dies, then cut apart and added some to the front with Tombow Monoadhesive Glue.
- The solid pinecone shapes were cut from Cinnamon Cider cardstock and the detail pinecone shapes from Crumb Cake cardstock, then sponged with Early Espresso Ink and adhered together. They were added to the branches with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two sprigs from Christmas Trimmings Dies were cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and tucked under the pinecones.
- The Cherry Cobbler/Gold Ribbon was tied in a knot, trimmed and added to the pinecones with a Mini Glue Dot.
- Some Red Rhinestones were added in the background.
- Noel from the Tidings & Trimmings Stamp Set was stamped on Basic White cardstock with Cherry Cobbler Ink and punched with the Double Oval Punch, then added on front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
