In The Pines is one of my favorite Bundles from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I love trees and green, so today’s card makes me very happy.
In The Pines
This week’s Global Design Project assignment was to case Steffi Helmschrott. It was really fun to case Steffi, because her cards have such an artistic flair.
I began by stamping the largest tree image, from In The Pines Stamp Set, on Whisper White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4 “. Using three shades of green ink (Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, and Garden Green) I stamped the trees in a row. Then, I added dots in matching colors of green ink, with a stamp that’s in the set.
To give it some texture, I used the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.
Next, I cut three, Whisper White Cardstock trees, using the medium tree from the Pine Woods Dies Set, and glued them on top of the stamped trees.
Before gluing my art piece to the Crumb Cake card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″), I taped two strands of Linen Thread to the back, and tied a bow in the front.
“Season’s Greetings” is from In The Pines, stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink, cut with the smallest Stitched Rectangles Die, and attached with Mini Dimensionals.

Beautiful card, Su!
Absolutely the how simple and simply beautiful your card is.
Su ~ I ALWAYS love your cards but I don’t always tell you that. This one is simply classic, understated, elegant and just looks like Minnesota, where I live. I already have my Christmas cards made for this year, but I’m going to save this In the Pines one of yours for next year. It conveys exactly what I want a Christmas card to convey. Thank you for being so generous with your wonderfully creative ideas!
I love your card Su! I was working on some tags and thought your idea would be great. I couldn’t attach a photo to this comment but I was very happy with the result.
I’m happy I gave you an idea! Thank you, Sharon!
Absolutely gorgeous, yet again!! So look forward each day to see what you offer. Do you offer card kit/on-line classes? Your style is exactly what I appreciate. You are very generous with what you share.
I’m so glad you like my style. Thank you, Sue! So far, I’ve put my energy into creating daily cards and blogging. I think of expanding into other areas, but run out of time. I appreciate you asking.
Most beautiful card, especially since it has snowed 2 inches here in Colorado this morning.l
Thank you.
Thank you, Mary Katherine! Enjoy your beautiful, snowy day!
