Be inspired by the beautiful,  Painted Christmas Designer Paper, then design a card using the Christmas Pinecone Dies.

Christmas Pinecones

Let’s start with the background, a Real Red card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Next, I used  an Ornate Layers Die to cut the Painted Christmas Designer Paper in the pinecone print. The same die was used to cut Basic White Cardstock, which was glued to the pinecone print by matching, and overlapping, six holes at the center. I hope that makes sense.

The pinecones were made with  Christmas Pinecone Dies, and two colors of cardstock. I first used the plain die to cut a large and small pinecone from Crumb Cake Cardstock. Then, I used the detailed die to cut from Early Espresso Cardstock, and glued the pieces together. Don’t they look realistic?

The pine boughs were cut with one of the large Christmas Pinecone Dies from Evening Evergreen Cardstock.  The die is in the first photo, and you can see the complete set in my Product list below.

The sentiment, “Merry Christmas,” is from the Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set, stamped in Real Red Ink, and cut with an Ornate Layers Die. I made the Basic White label a bit shorter by using a Stitched Rectangles Die to cut one end. If you look closely, you can see the stitching is slightly larger on the right side, but I doubt anyone would notice. Isn’t the font pretty?

The Real Red sprig was cut with a Poinsettia Die, one of my favorite sets for Christmas cards. 

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
