Merry Monday 213


2nd week to do Merry Monday.  The photo just spoke to me.  Again I'm using Christmas Pines bundle.  It just does so much and perks up just about any card.

My colors are: Cherry Cobbler, and Garden Green, with some Real Red in the folage and bow.

Merry Monday Challenge #212


I happened to check out the Merry Monday challenge for this week. They are just coming back from summer break and I could not help myself. I mean, White, Black and Gold? You just can't do anything wrong with those colors!
I don't think I've played here before, and honestly I go gung ho as soon as the Holiday catalog hits, but after Christmas I don't want to even think about another Christmas card until the next Holiday catalog!

Anyway, this set, Christmas Pine bundle is so much fun to play with!!! It is very popular already just among the demo's.  Although it's billed as a Christmas set, it could be used all year long, especially in the fall with all the branches and pine cones and such.

I made my black card base 4 1/4" x 5 1/2 ".  Cut your CS the long way, measuring 4 1/4", then turn and score at 5 1/2".  I cute my striped DSP from the Neutrals DSP stack at 4x5 1/2" and the while piece at 3 3/4 x 5 1/2".

Besides pieces from the Christmas Pines bundle, I only used the Gold satin ribbon and the Neutral stack. So, if you are looking for a card for Christmas that doesn't use too much this is it.
BTW, the neutrals stack used to have Very Vanilla and Whisper white in it, but those were taken out, and now there are gold and silver instead.

I hope you enjoy this card and thank you for stopping by.

Mojo Monday sketch challenge #461, Sneak Peek, Christmas pines bundle.


Woo Hoo, another new set from the 2016 Holiday catalog.  Just so you know, all the goodies inside will be available for order by customers on Sept 1.  This is such a great set, it's billed as a Christmas set, but easily will also make those Fall cards and projects for you. Lots of great stamps and lots of wonderful dies. And the matching DSP is called Presents and Pine Cones.  

Normally I don't use a lot of DSP, when I do use it, it's generally in small amounts, but this package has the neatest patterns I've ever seen.  I think I did a pretty good job on the sketch.


It's a great sketch, fairly simple and easy to use.

I used my new Layering circle die set, and stamped some of the fill in branches then put the die cute ones over top and slipped in a red one for berries and some color.
I cut a couple of pinecones out, using the new Copper foil, and layered the while circle over the Soft Suede scalloped circle.

I hope you enjoy this sneak peek at the Christmas Pines Bundle.
