Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 14 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024 and this might be my favourite card so far this month!

I’ve had a bit of a ‘thing’ for pinecones since the Great Pinecone Debacle of 2021 and I have managed to collect a surprising number of dies and stamps in a relatively short time! Today I used the Stampin’ Up Christmas Pinecone die set. I have been wanting this set since it was released in 2021 and when I saw it deeply discounted in the retirement sale earlier this year, I just jumped at the opportunity to buy it!

There’s a lot of inspiration for this set out there but the one card that really struck me was made by the talented Linda Heller who used one of the layers to add snowy accents to the pine cones and branches. I used white glitter card for the base layer and distress inks to colour the second layer. After adhering the layers, I added it to a coloured card panel – oh my goodness, I just love that snowy effect! Thanks Linda, for your amazing inspiration!

The sentiment is from the Puffy Holiday Greetings set by Mama Elephant.

Thanks for stopping by!

LucieG.
