I promised you more In The Pines bundle projects and here they are... this time with a Crumb Cake and Pinewood Planks vibe.
The
stars of the show here are the Pine Woods Dies; in fact, the only
stamps I've used from the In The Pines stamp set are the very handy
Season’s Greetings and the tiny snow stamp.
For the landscape card, I die-cut some “hills” and three trees using the Pine Woods Dies. The small pine cones come from the Winter Woods stamp set. Unfortunately, I don’t have the coordinating In The Woods dies so had to fussy-cut them out. My fussy-cutting isn’t the most precise, as you can see!
The two Crumb Cake trees were sponged lightly with Crumb Cake ink to make them stand out a little more from the background.
For the
portrait card, I slipped some In Good Taste Designer Series Paper behind
the tree. It’s a little lost in the photo but I like the effect so plan
to return to this design using a stronger contrast. I didn’t have any
of those lovely Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels, but I am a crafter so I
compromised... I used our standard Rhinestones and coloured them using a
Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend alcohol marker.
If you
want to cut an aperture and emboss your cardstock, make sure you do the
cutting first. If you do it the other way round, the act of cutting will
squash your embossing.
That’s all for today but please come back on Saturday at 4pm for a World Card Making Day blog hop!
