Jul 26, 2024 | 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, Christmas, In The Grove Bundle |
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!

Nov 18, 2020 | 2020 August-December Mini Catalog, August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, Christmas, Poinsettia Petals Bundle |
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s November Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects celebrate Christmas, which – believe it or not – is just around the corner. Please prepare yourself for lots of beautiful projects that share the joy of this holiday. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
There are so many beautiful bundles in this year’s August-December Mini-Catalog, but my favorite is the Poinsettia Petals Bundle. Here is my card featuring this gorgeous bundle:
Here are the details:
- The poinsettia is stamped in VersaMark on Petal Pink Cardstock and then embossed with white embossing powder.
- The berries are stamped in VersaMark on Mint Macaron Cardstock and then embossed with white embossing powder.
- The sentiment is stamped in Soft Suede ink.
- The center is three of the Wonderful Gems.
- The background is done on Watercolor Paper. I saturated the top 2/3rds of the piece with my Water Painter. I then did a watercolor wash using Pool Party ink. A used my stamp pad lid as my palette. Finally, I ground sea salt over the top of it and let it dry. After drying, I wiped off the excess salt. I love the way it turned out! I hope you do too!
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Brian King at Stamp With Brian. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
Hugs!
