Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas In July’. I love a bit of Christmas crafting and in my opinion, you can’t start early enough. I have made a cup of Christmas Foliage today.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the cup of Christmas foliage card, you will need:
Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Pool Party card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White card
I stamped the largest leafy sprig in Pool Party ink in the upper left and lower right corners of the Pool Party panel. I wrapped a length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. I added it to the Pool Party card front using Mini Glue Dots. This gives the panel a little height and shadow.

The large label from the Seasonal Labels Dies was die cut from the smaller panel of Basic White card. I stamped around the edge in 2nd generation Pool Party ink.

The teacup from the Cup of Tea stamp set was stamped in Cheery Cobbler ink and die cut using the Teacup Dies.

I stamped the leafy sprig using Pear Pizzazz ink, the holly leaves in Garden Green ink. I used Cherry Cobbler ink for the berries and Crumb Cake for the base of the pinecones with the details being added in Soft Suede ink. These were all die cut using the Seasonal Labels Dies.

The cup was added to the die cut label on Dimensionals and the foliage and pinecones were tucked in and around the cup. The decorated piece was then added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added a bow made from the same ribbon and a trio of Festive Pearls to finish the card.
So pretty, I hope you like it.
