Ornamental Pine Card with Craft Metal and Glitter

This card has lots of my favorite things on it! I don’t know why but I love pinecones! Isn’t that bizarre? I don’t know why but I just think they’re fabulous little creations. LOL So…These babies are from SU!’s Ornamental Pines Stamp Set and so is the greeting.

Another thing I love is Embossing Folders. They make it look like you worked so hard on your card when the Big Shot does all the work! Craft Metal is just an awesome addition to…well..anything! It just takes your projects to the next level just by being there. How can you resist that? And, lastly, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter! I can’t argue that I love Diamonds and Glitter!

The Pine Needles are inked in SU! Mossy Meadow Ink and then I rubbed off the color on the branches and colored them with a Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write Marker before stamping them multiple times. The Pinecones were stamped in Chocolate Chip Ink with a bunch of extras that I cut out and attached over the stamped Pinecones with Stampin’ Dimensionals. 2Way Glue was applied to the Pinecones and the Pine Needles and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter was poured (yes, POURED) over the top.

The base card is Chocolate Chip Cardstock 5-1/2″ x 8 -1/2″ – scored and folded at 4-1/4″.
The Crumb Cake layer is 4″ x 5-1/4″ and was embossed using SU!’s Woodgrain Embossing Folder.
A strip of Garland Green Craft Metal was embossed using the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder and attached to the side of the Card with Score-Tape.
Christmas Wishes from the Ornamental Pines Stamp Set was inked in Real Red Ink and stamped onto a scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock. The edges were banner cut using a 1″ Square Punch.
Another piece of the embossed Garland Green Craft Metal was banner cut using a 1″ Square Punch and attached to the sides of the greeting.
The bow from the Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies was used to cut an embossed piece of Scarlet Red Craft Metal. The bow was then attached to the card using Glue Dots.

Clean and Simple Christmas Card

It’s time for another Blog Hop with Add A Little Dazzle Craft Metal! This week, AALD is partnering with Casual Fridays Stamps. Visit the Design Team Blogs for lots of inspirational projects incorporating the stamps, dies and craft metal sheets. Don’t forget to check out the Prizes and Special Bundle Pack!

As soon as I saw these stamps, I knew Clean and Simple was the way to go. The FRI–die was so unique and reminded me of Santa’s belt so I cut it from a Scarlet Red Craft Metal Sheet and pulled a Black Taffeta Ribbon through it and secured the edges of the ribbon behind the card stock with Glue Dots.

Clean and Simple Santa Card Side

The little pieces from the center of the die were so adorable I knew I wanted to use them too. I used a little Backing Paste to make sure they would hold their shape and adhered them to the bottom of the card with Glue Dots. I used the die to cut a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper for the belt buckle and glued one of the Black Diamond Craft Metal pieces in the center.

Clean and Simple Santa Card Flat

Santa Claus is Coming to Town from the Naughty or Nice Stamp Set was inked using Stampin’ Write Markers – Real Red and Basic Black and stamped onto a 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock. That piece was then adhered to a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock scored and folded at 4-1/4″ – with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
