I have used the gorgeous Hills of Tuscany stamp set to make a pretty card featuring a Cherry Cobbler Tuscan villa. I can’t seem to get enough of this fantastic stamp set.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the cherry cobbler Tuscan villa card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Crumb Cake card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Cherry Cobbler card – 4” by 2½”
Basic White card – 4 ½” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

I embossed the 5⅝” by 3⅞” panel of Crumb Cake card using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. A length of Basic White Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the embossed panel before it was glued to the Crumb Cake card base.

Using the Everyday Details Dies, I die cut rectangle from the 4 ½” by 3” panel of Basic White card. I used Post It Notes to mask of the sides of the die cut rectangle.

The house was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and the roof added in Pebbled Path ink. I used a Basic Black Stamp ‘n Write marker to colour in the windows.

The sky was stamped in 1^st and 2^nd generation Balmy Blue ink and the sunny added with Lemon Lolly ink.
