Autumn Days Pine Bough Workshop Card

Hi Stampers!

Here's another card from a recent workshop.  Autumn Days stamp set is so versatile!  From the name of it you wouldn't expect to be able to create a Christmas/Holiday card, would you?  This is another quick one and I love the clean look to it. 

The card base is Whisper White card stock, as is the image panel.  This time I used Stampin' Write Markers to ink up the stamp - Chocolate Chip and Garden Green.  This is inked and stamped twice, once on the image panel and once on a scrap piece of Whisper White.  I did extend the stem on the image panel so I could add the bow and still see the stem.  I cut just the pine cones out of the scrap piece image and added Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I used the 2-Way Glue pen to randomly dot the image and added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter for some sparkle.

I tied a little bow * (you do have to fuss with making a bow no matter how long you've been doing it) using 1/4" Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon and attached using a Mini Glue Dot.  This is layered onto Real Red, then Garden Green card stock.  I used Stampin' Dimensionals to add this element to the card base, but you can simply use SNAIL adhesive.

Merry Christmas is from the set, Teeny Tiny Wishes (my fav!) and stamped in Garden Green Classic Ink (marker).  I did use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to get it exactly where I wanted it.  I love that thing!  And that's it!  Of course, you would stamp or write a sentiment inside. 

Even with trimming out the pine cones, this is a fast and easy card.  Hope you like it!  Here's what I used:

Supplies:

Stamps:  Autumn Days (115452);  Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370)

Paper:  Whisper White (100730);  Real Red (102482);  Garden Green (102584)

Ink:  Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker (100071);  Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker (100080)

Accessories:  Stamp-a-ma-jig (101049);  Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (109034); Stampin' Dimensionals (104430);  Mini Glue Dots (103683);  2-Way Glue Pen (100425);  Dazzling Diamonds Glitter (102023);  SNAIL Adhesive (104332)

* Tip:  Whether you have a lot of small bows to make or just one, rather than cutting ribbon for each bow, tie your bow right from the spool.  You still have a long end to make it easier to maneuver your ribbon, and you can trim off close to the bow using less ribbon.  The whole bow tying process goes a lot more quickly.

All supplies are available by contacting me or visiting my Demonstrator Website.  Remember, my Website is open 24/7.  I love shopping on line.  That's how I buy my supplies.  You can shop in your jammies and it comes right to your door.  What more could a shopper want?  LOL!  Thanks for stopping in today.
