Misty Trees

Today I am sharing a pretty Christmas card featuring misty trees made using the In The Pines stamp set and Pine Woods Dies.

To recreate the misty trees card, you will need:

Misty Moonlight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Silver Foil -4½” by 3½” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Shaded Spruce – 4¼” by 3¼” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 4” by 3” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded Upper Left corner – for the inside
Soft Sea Foam & Whisper White

I stamped the row of trees across the smaller Whisper White panel in Misty Moonlight ink. I used first and second generation in, i.e. full strength and stamped off once. I added the ‘ground’ image in the same ink. Using a wedge of Sponge, I lightly added Misty Moonlight ink over the panel to suggest a misty day.

My Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine was used to die cut 3 of the tall trees. The Soft Sea Foam tree was cut from scrap card. The Shaded Spruce and Silver Foil trees were cut from the middle of the 2 layering pieces – no-one will ever know……

Using the snow image and Misty Moonlight ink I stamped around the edge of the Misty Moonlight card base before adding the topper piece to the card front with the liquid glue.

October Stamp-A-Stack

Yesterday I had my first in person all day October Stamp-a-Stack event since mid-March, how mad is that……. I had to completely rethink how I design for and organise these events to minimise sharing of tools and product and allow us to adhere to social distancing regulations. I have to say I really enjoyed the challenge.

I offered 2 choices for this event – by post or in person.

Each participant received a pizza style box crammed with enough goodies to create 20 cards. I designed 10 cards and they will made 2 of each design.

The In The Pines stamp set used to make an Christmas card for the Hopping Around the World blog hop

Holiday Mini Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp ‘n Hop blog hop where our theme this month is ‘Holiday Mini’. I love this time of year with Autumn and Christmas…… so many lovely things to chose from. If you have hopped on from the lovely Sandra Hertzog, I am sure you loved her project. You are now with Mo Rootes in the UK.

I have chosen to use the In the Pines stamp set to make a fairly simple card.

To recreate the Holiday Mini card you will need:

Pool Party card base – – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso – 5 ¼” by 3 ½”
Whisper White – 5” by 3 ¼”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Scrap Early Espresso

I placed the smaller panel of Whisper White in the Stamparatus, upper right corner and set up the outline of the large pine tree on one of the panels. I stamped the image with the Early Espresso ink on the left, moved along one step and stamped again without re-inking. I inked again with the same ink and repeated both steps to give 4 trees.

I lined up the inner tree image on top of the 1st stamped tree and picked it up with the back of the plate. I inked it up with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped it onto the first tree then moved along one hinge step to stamp the second tree and repeated the process.

Using a sponge I added Pool Party ink around the tree to give a ‘sky’  and stamped the ground beneath each tree  and the tree trunks in Early Espresso ink. The stamped layer was added to the Early Espresso layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a length of Linen Thread around the the panel and tied it in a bow. The panel was then adhered to the Pool Party card base using the liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Early Espresso card stock and heat set with a Heat Tool. The sentiment was trimmed down with scissors and added to the panel with Dimensionals.

Such a sweet card. I hope you like it.
