Today’s card was designed with two, large, circles in mind. My first decision was to stamp the trees from the Welcoming Woods Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and use the second largest Layering Circles Die for cutting. Next, I chose a beautiful, pinecone pattern of Painted Christmas Designer Paper, which I cut 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I cut another circle from this pinecone layer, using the same die.
Both circles were backed with Brushed Metallic Cardstock, using the scalloped Layering Circles Die that’s a spec larger.
Pinecone Circles
At this point, I glued the pinecone layer to a Soft Succulent card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I glued the circle of pinecones back in its hole, careful to match the pattern. The circle of trees was attached with Dimensionals to raise it up a bit.
The sentiment, “this wondrous season,” was stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and cut with a Beautiful Trees Die. Half of the sentiment label was glued on the circle of trees, and half on Dimensionals.
And, because I had the Beautiful Trees Dies on my table, out popped the little bird die. So, I used the same Brushed Metallic Cardstock for cutting the birds, and added them to the scene.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
