The Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop theme this week is Traditional Christmas. So we will share projects for Christmas using traditional colours.
For my project I opted for Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen and gold.
I used a few different products from the July – December Mini Catalogue – Holly Jolly Stamp Set, Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder, Painted Christmas 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper, Gold Holly Leaves, Gold Shimmer Vellum and the Cherry Cobbler & Gold Metallic Ribbon. I also used some of the Evening Evergreen Cotton Paper from the Eden’s Garden Early Release Collection.
The piece of Designer Series Paper was embossed and cut using the Hybrid Embossing Folder and coordinating detailed die. I also cut two outline pieces using the Gold Shimmer Vellum and Evening Evergreen Cotton Paper. These three pieces were layered and then secured on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I gathered up three lengths of the Cherry Cobbler and Gold Metallic Ribbon and created the three ribbon wreaths that I tucked in under the paper layers. The wreaths were secured using Mini Glue Dots.
The Christmas greeting is from the Holly Jolly Stamp Set and was stamped using Cherry Cobbler. The stitched rectangle, from the Hybrid Embossing Folder bundle, was used to cut the greeting.
I took several of the Gold Holly Leaves and placed them over some of the embossed and die cut leaves. One was also added to the envelope and inside the card.
The final step was to add some of the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and inside the card.
Don’t forget to hop arond and see what the rest of the Freshly Brewed crew have created to share with you.
