Joy - Delicate Pines - Beth Norman-Roberts, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Delicate Pines is a versatile stamp/die set. Earlier I showed my first card using Delicate Pines highlighting gorgeous snowflakes and today I am highlighting pine cones. I’m in the midst of making 10 more pine cone Christmas cards.

Hello Friends!

I hope you’re having a great day and are enjoying the cooler night temperatures. Enjoy the sunshine that fills the sky today.

After a beautiful week of vacation in Tobermory I feel refreshed and ready to jump into class preparations, putting kits together, and planning out October thru December classes. I’ve got so much rolling around my head that I have to pull out my planning book and write down all my thoughts so I can give you the best experience ever! I welcome any input for my November and December classes.

About my card

Cut two 1″ x 4″ pieces of Designer Series Paper from one pieces of paper, or you can use cardstock and emboss the two pieces the same.
Cut two 1″ x 2 3/4″ pieces of Designer Series Paper, using a second design.
Cut white cardstock 1 5/8″ x 2 7/8″.
Cut the top base at 4″ x 5 1/4″.
Glue the base of your card onto a white card cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. When folded at 5 1/2″ you will have created a white card.
Glue your strips of Designer Series Paper to your coloured base as seen above.
Using the base of the pine cone die, cut two pieces in Crumb Cake.
Using the top of the pine cone die, cut two pieces in Early Espresso.
Turn the Early Espresso pine cone over and very delicately add a few dots of glue. With your Take Your Pick Tool, carefully place the Crumb Cake diecuts and place onto the Early Espresso.
Using the largest pine tree sprigs, cut a total of three in Shaded Spruce.
Using your desired Christmas sentiment, stamp along the bottom of the white center piece.
Glue the pine sprigs to the back of the pine cones and place onto the white center.
Glue smaller base card to the white card.
Using red ribbon or twine, place a bow along the top of the pinecones.

As always, enjoy your paper crafting and please share your projects with me because I enjoy seeing what other creative minds come up with and am frequently inspired by them. Have a good one!

Happy Stampin,
