Hello!
I’m back! I was in Iowa visiting family. (I live in Pennsylvania.) It was nice to be back where I was raised. However, I’m happy to return to my craft room.
I did a Christmas in July theme for all my classes this month. I’d like to share one of the cards we made. I used the bundle, In The Grove. This stamp set is not a dedicated Christmas bundle, but I believe it makes a beautiful holiday card when used with the cool colors in the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. What do you think?
It really isn’t hard to put together and could be mass produced easily. There’s minimal stamping involved.
Here are the details
Materials needed
In the Grove Bundle
Grassy Grove Bundle (For deer die cut only)
Misty Moonlight Cardstock – 5 1/2in x 8 1/2in. scored at 4 1/2in., 1 1/2in. x 5in.
Basic White Cardstock – 4in. x 5 1/4in.
Thoughtful Journey Designers Series Paper 6×6 – Trim to 4in x 5 1/4 in. Keep the larger remainder piece for the die cut.
Gray Granite and Copper Clay Cardstock scraps for the critters.
Misty Moonlight Ink Pad
Blackberry Bliss Ink Pad
Process
* Trim the Designer Series Paper to 4 in. on the short side and 5 1/4in. on the long side. KEEP the remaining piece for the die cut.
* Place the Mountain Die at the top of the remaining DSP piece and die cut.
* Die cut the smaller Misty Moonlight piece with the tree outline die cut. Place the die at the top of the piece and die cut.
* Die cut the Basic White piece with the birch trees die.
* Die cut the adorable critters (Side note-I was going to use the fox stamp and die cut. When I was putting the animals on my card, Mr. Fox was staring hungrily at the poor bunny! That’s why I substituted the equally adorable deer.)
* Stamp the mountain stamp on the purple part of the DSP using the Blackberry Bliss Stamp pad.
* Stamp a sentiment on the bottom of the white die cut piece.
* Adhere the mountain die cut piece and then the tree line die cut piece.
* Place your deer and adhere.
*Adhere the white die cut piece and then adhere the bunny and squirrel.
* Adhere the finished piece horizontally to the front of the card base.
That does it! Thanks for stopping by!
