Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s week is going well. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. I’m really looking forward to this weekend coming up. I’ll be heading to Georgia for the weekend for a crafting retreat with some of my team members. There will be lots of crafting, relaxing and eating going on.
It’s time for an inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photos are Harvest Bounty or Christmas Joy. You get to pick which photo you want to work with, 182a or 182b. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas To Remember Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Season Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Freestyle Collage Card and I was inspired by the pine boughs and colors in the Christmas Joy photo #182b.
I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #182a or 182b. How are you inspired by the photos?
I started by using the Christmas Pinecone Dies and cutting the larger one from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock and the smaller one from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock. I cut the solid pinecone die from a panel of Early Espresso cardstock and the detailed pinecones from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock.
I adhered the Soft Succulent pine boughs to the Evening Evergreen pine boughs. I adhered the detailed pinecones to the solid pinecones. I adhered the layered pinecones to the pine boughs die using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut panel to a Cherry Cobbler card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas To Remember stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I stamped the pine bough images from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink around the sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I cut the side slits using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I threaded a piece of Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon through the slits on the die cut sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the ribbon to the back of the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to an Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Festive Pearls to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Christmas To Remember stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the pine bough images from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the Early Espresso card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pine bough images from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink to the envelope front and flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
