Christmas Pinecones Greetings

Another Christmas card to share that I created for the...

As You See It Theme Challenge #312.

 

I was inspired by the pinecones, holly berries and greenery.


For my "Season's Greetings" card, I used the Stampin' Up! Christmas Classics Bundle, Horse & Sleigh Stamp Set, Christmas Pinecones, Patchwork Pieces & Deckled Circles Dies along with Joyful Specialty DSP and Gold Foil Sheets.

For my card base I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
The next layer is beautiful DSP from the Joyful Specialty paper pack.

The greenery and pinecones were die cut from the Christmas Classics Dies and Christmas Pinecones Dies using Shaded Spruce, Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso cardstock.

These die cuts were arranged on a circle that was die cut from the Deckled Circles Dies and Basic White cardstock.  Only one of the larger pinecones was adhered with a dimensional.

Holly berries were die cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered among the greenery.

The shapes on the left were created using the Patchwork Pieces Die along with Cherry Cobbler cardstock and Gold Foil Sheets.

Gold Stain Edged Ribbon wraps around the card, covering the seam.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Classics Stamp Set, stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink and adhered with dimensionals.

To cut around the sentiment, the stamp was cleaned and pulled off the stamp block and placed onto the sentiment, matching the letters.  Holding down the photopolymer stamp, I lightly traced around the stamp with a pencil.  I cut along the lines and erased any remaining pencil marks.

Embellishments are the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots

DSP was also added on the envelope flap.

Inside my card is Basic White cardstock with a couple die cuts adhered in the left corner.

The sentiment is from the Horse & Sleigh Stamp Set, stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink.



Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.

  1. How lovely! I think your pinecone cluster is gorgeous. The sunburst panel behind it is so striking and festive - a great idea. Thanks for joining in with us at As You See It Challenge.
