Christmas Pinecones and Ornaments

 Hello everyone!  I have a Christmas in July card with some pinecones and ornaments today.


I had this image of of Christmas ornaments hanging from a pine branch with pine cones in it with a kind of wood grain background on my mind, that was the inspiration for this card. I started by embossing a piece of 5 x 7 card stock with Craftwell - Woodgrain Cottage embossing folder and inked the raised edges with a light brown ink. Then I die cut all the pieces on my Craftwell SNAP. I used the Greetery - Botanicuts Pine Bough die set to die cut the pine cones on brown card stock. For the pine boughs, I used Spellbinders - Susan's Garden - Evergreen Foliage die set on light green card stock. I used my Copic markers to add some shading to the pine boughs. I used the Memory Box - Snowflake Ornament to die cut the ornaments. I used the Your Next Stamp - Merry Christmas die to cut the sentiment. Now it was just a matter of arranging the die cuts. I used liquid glue to adhere all of the die cuts. 

For the inside of the card, stamped a simple sentiment in black and stamped some pine bough and some berry branches from The Ton - Outline Holiday Cones in gold ink. This card is easy to make in batches, I made 20 of them. 

I loved how this turned out. Please let me know your thoughts and comments. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
