I’ve been working on building up my stash of Christmas cards, and was delighted to see this week’s theme at Global Design Project was Christmas. And, I love using the Christmas Pinecone Dies!

Christmas Pinecones

 

I began by using a large Christmas Pinecone Die to cut from Basic White Cardstock, making a stencil. Then, I placed my stencil over Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″, and applied Mossy Meadow Ink with a Sponge Dauber.

This layer was glued to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

 

How do you like the pinecones? I was trying different color combinations for realistic pinecones, when I remembered that Stampin’ Up! shows us, on page 16 of the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. Use Crumb Cake for the solid piece, and Early Espresso for the detailed piece.

After cutting and gluing the pieces together, I glued the small pinecone flat, in the middle, and attached the two larger ones with Dimensionals.

 

“Merry Christmas” is from the Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set, stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 3 1/4″ X 3/4″. After giving it texture with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, I backed it with Regals 6X6 Designer Paper in a Cherry Cobbler plaid, 3 1/2″ X 1″. Then, I backed the label with cardstock for durability, and attached it with Dimensionals.

The bow is Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim, stretched apart, and attached with a Glue Dot.

As I was viewing this close-up, I realized that the pinecones look better from a distance. Some things are like that!

 

Now, it’s your turn to hang your Christmas card in our gallery.
