Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend.

The Card Concepts is back with their Inspiration/Color Challenges and I hope you will join in. The inspiration photo #231 is Merry Christmas. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Pinecones Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies and Wood Grain Wonder Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the pinecones and colors in the photo for my clean & layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #231. How are you inspired by the photos?

Adhere a panel of Wood Grain Wonders DSP to a Cherry Cobbler card base.

Stamp the pinecone image from the Frosted Pinecones stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using the Frosted Pinecones Decorative Masks add Crumb Cake Ink with a Blending Brush using Mask #1. Add Pecan Pie Ink using a Blending Brush with Masks #2 & #3. Add Shaded Spruce Ink with a Blending Brush using Mask #4. Use Craft White Ink with a Blending Brush with Mask #5. Cut the image out using the Frosted Pinecones Dies. Adhere the pinecone image to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Following the directions from the Stampin’ Hot Foil System, foil the sentiments from the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies on a panel of Cherry Cobbler with Gold Foil. Cut the sentiments out using the Magical Christmas Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front. Remove the Cherry Cobbler from a piece of Multicolor Christmas Baker’s Twine and tie a double bow. Adhere the bow to the pinecone with a Glue Dot. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Sequins to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from Frosted Pinecones stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the pinecone image from Frosted Pinecones stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the cherry Cobbler card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the pinecone image from Frosted Pinecones stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Wood Grain Wonder DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
