Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by two weather related photographs, one Winter and one Summer. I chose the Winter picture as my inspiration and used the Leaves of Holly stamp set.

 

 

The Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the holly card, you will need:

Soft Succulent card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Evening Evergreen card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right & lower left corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper right & lower left corner
Basic White card – 3” by 1½”
Soft Succulent card – 3” by 1½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right & lower left corner – for the inside

 

The sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set was stamped on the smallest piece of Basic White card in Early Espresso ink. The sentiment was then die cut using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I die cut the same label from the small Soft Succulent piece, cut it in half and glued it either end of the sentiment label.

 

I stamped the two large holly leaves, from the Leaves of Holly stamp set, in the upper left and lower right corners. I decided it was easier to line up the images if I stamped the solid image first – in Soft Succulent ink – followed by the more detailed image in Evening Evergreen.

 

I added the pinecones, from the Christmas Season stamp set, in Sahara Sand ink for the solid image and second-generation Early Espresso for the detailed image.

 

The berries were stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink, second generation for the solid and full strength for the detailed image. The sprig from the Christmas To Remember stamp set was stamped in Soft Succulent ink. The stamped panel was then glued to the Evening Evergreen layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The same glue was used to add the panel to the Soft Succulent card base.

 

The sentiment label was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

 

A double Baker’s Twine bow and a trio of Red & Green Adhesive Backed Pearls finishes the card.
