DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #208: Christmas Pines

Welcome to this weeks DOStamper Stars Thursday Challenge. This week we are having  "Color My World" challenge featuring Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake.  I choose to use slightly different shades of red and green today since they are my favorite at this time of year.

  

• Start with a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Real Red card base.
• Cut a piece of Crumb Cake 5 1/4 x 4 layer, then add some stripes with the Seasonal Decorative Mask and Crumb Cake ink.   Attach to base with Fast Fuse.
• For the  next layers cut Real Read 4 3/4 x 3 1/2  and Whisper White 4 5/8 x 3 3/8.  Adhere Whisper White to Real Red layer with glue. Attach to base.
• Stamp Pine Branches randomly in top left corner I used Always Artichoke and Old Olive.  Use Crumb Cake Ink to add background images.
• Die cut a Pine Branches, Mistletoe, Berry Stem and Pinecones in coordinating colors. Attached to card with glue dots and dimensionals. 
• Add Wink of Stella to Pine cones and a Linen Thread bow.   
• All done!! 

This card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest and tweaked a bit to make it my own.  I love, love the Christmas Pines bundle it is so versatile.  I hope you like this card as much as I do.

More Paper Pumpkin Cards - Season Of Gratitude

Here are two more cards I made with the October Paper Pumpkin Kit, Season of Gratitude.  I still have a few more to make using all the lovely leaves that came in the kit.  I love that everything you need is in the kit, as well as directions to complete the project.  For this kit I made all 8 cards as directed.  Yes, the kit contained enough material for 8 cards.  Stamp set, ink block, card base and envelope, twine, foam layering strips and dimensionals, glue dots, die cut shapes, all for $19.99 plus tax.  Shipping is free. 

The card above is altered slightly from the original instructions.  I cut two labels using Lots of Labels die set in Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry.  Added stamp and twine to the layers to completed the card.  The card below is an awesome Autumn card, instructions are provided.  

 

 

1. Start with a Crumb Cake base measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.
2. Cut Crumb Cake layer 3 3/4 x 5, attached 1 x 5 piece cut from kit envelope.
3. Stamp sentiment on 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 Very Vanilla CS with Early Espresso and sponge edges  with Soft Suede.  Attached to Crumb Cake base.
