We ran one of the Basic White panels through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. A length of Pool Party Ribbon was wrapped around the layer before it was glued to the Old Olive card front.

We added Pool Party ink to the die cut Circle using a Blending Brush. Two trees were then stamped onto the circle, the solid background in Garden Green and the detailed image in Evening Evergreen. The circle was then adhered to the card front.

The large and small trees were die cut from scrap Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Garden Green & Evening Evergreen card. They were glued together and added to the card front n Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto a strip of Basic White card in Evening Evergreen ink. We trimmed it down and flagged the ends with scissors. It was then added to the card front.

The stamped circle was then glued to the Garden Green scalloped circle and mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

I had prepared a negative circle mask ahead of class which we adhered to the smaller panel of Basic White. We then used a Blending Brush to add Pool Party ink to the negative space, peeled the masking paper off and voila…… a soft, blue circle.

The large tree was stamped in the centre of the circle in Garden Green and Evening Evergreen ink and a smaller tree added on each side in Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow.

The greeting was stamped below in Evening Evergreen ink and the panel glued to the Garden Green layer.

We wrapped a piece of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the strip before the whole panel was added to the Sweet Sorbet card base. The sentiment was stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink.

The three glasses were stamped in Basic Gray ink onto scrap Basic White card. We inked up the infill stamp with Daffodil Delight and added Sweet Sorbet ink to the bottom using a Sponge Dauber before stamping it inside one of the glasses. We re-inked the stamp with the Daffodil Delight and added Granny Apple Green to the bottom. For the wine glass, we inked up with Sweet Sorbet and added Blackberry Bliss to the bottom. These were then die cut.

A trio of rustic pine cone and spruce sprigs themed Christmas cards made using Stampin' Up! products

Christmas Pinecones Classes

Posted on November 12, 2021November 11, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the cards made for my November classes featuring the gorgeous Christmas Pinecones Dies. I don’t know about you, but I looked at the large intricate dies and wondered how I could use them ….. other then the obvious – die cut, add to the card front and slap a sentiment in the middle. I wanted to show my ladies the versatility of cutting the die cut piece apart.

Colours used in this project are:

The first thing we did was to die cut the large detailed foliage die from a ¼ sheet of Garden Green card. This is the piece that we cut apart and used on all our cards.

We always start with the fiddliest, most complicated card first, the idea being that we get this over while we are still concentrating!!

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Christmas Pinecones Die used to make 3 rustic pine cone and foliage themed Christmas cards for November 2021 classes

We embossed panel the narrow Garden Green panel using the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and added it to the smaller front flap of the Soft Succulent card base. The Gold Foil strip was then butted up to it.

We used either the pinecone or sprig to decorate the large Basic White panel and glued it to the inside of the card

We added glue to the left-hand side of the Crumb Cake scalloped rectangle – which I had cut ahead of time using the Scalloped Contour Dies, and added it to the left flap of the card base.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped in Garden Green onto the white card, die cut using one of the labels from the Seasonal Labels dies and add to the Crumb Cake panel on Dimensionals.

The detailed pinecone (gold) and Soft Suede pinecone base – cut by me ahead of time using the Seasonal Labels Dies, were glued together then and added to the label front with glue and/or dimensionals.

We then snipped apart the foliage from the large die cut and tucked sprigs behind the pinecones.

We flagged the ends of the Crumb Cake layer and added it to the Garden Green card base.

We embossed the Soft Succulent panel as above and added the panel to the smaller Basic White layer and added the strip of Gold Foil to the side. This piece was then mounted on the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped on the label, which I had die cut ahead of time and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

We assembled the die cut pinecones and added then with sprigs of foliage behind the label.

The sentiment was stamped on the previously die cut label and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

We assembled the die cut pinecones and added then with sprigs of foliage onto the top of the label.

We die cut some flowers and used Water Painters to add ink to them. They were then added to the card front with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink onto the smaller piece of Basic White and die cut a label. Using Tear ‘n Tape we added a strip f Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon to the back of the label and added it to the card front with glue.

A scattering of jewels was added to the card front to completed the card.

A bow was added to complete the card.
