Seasons greetings in the pines

 

 Hello again everyone. Welcome to another blog on yet another gorgeous day here in the UK the weather for this time of the year is absolutely amazing and we're so lucky to have the sun shining towards the end of september I'm feeling very blessed in deed.

Today I thought I'd share with you a card that is so simple you won't believe it. I love when you can make lovley cards without much effort actually going into the process of doing it. So lets begin............

Materials needed:

Thick whisper white cardstock

1pc - 5" x 7" scored in half on the longside - cardbase

1pc - 3 1/4" x 4 3/4"  - inside of card layer

1pc - approx 2 3/4" x 4" - white oval front of card

Coastal cabana cardstock

2pc - 5/8" x 4 1/8" - strips for front of card

1pc - approx 3" x 4" - scallop oval front of card

Snowflake splendor DSP

2pc - 1/2" x 4" - strips for front of card

Pool party sheer ribbon

1pc - approx 8" - bow on front of card

In the pines bundle

For the die cutting of the tree

And for the sentiment stamping

Card recipe:

1. Cut score and burnish your card base.

2. Cut your card piece for the inside of your card and glue into place.

3. Cut your strip pieces of card and dsp and then glue the dsp onto the card strips, glue into place on the front of your card.

4. Stamp your sentiment onto your card, I've made sure that I only ink one word at a time on my stamp so that I can ink one word at the top and the other at the bottom of my card (make sure that you cean and dry the stamp in between stamping each word so you don't get a slight image still appearing where you don't want it to).

5. Die cut both of your ovals and then die cut your tree in the centre of the white oval (the die that you use doesn't cut the wole tree out it just cuts the apperture of the tree out).

6. Using dimensionals around the edge reverse side of the white oval (so they don't show through the apperture) and placing one in the middle where your bow will cover it up from showing, glue this onto the centre of the scallop oval and then using dimensionals again glue it into place on your card.

7. Tie a bow, place a glue dot onto the back of it and then glue it on top of the dimensional that is showing through on the centre of your tree.

8. Place a rhinestone on to your card and thats the card finished.

Hope you enjoyed this card as I said it was a simple but I think a very pretty little card to make.
