Hello everyone! Welcome to my Fairy Stamper Friday share.
As you may already know, my Christmas card stash is a little lacking this year. So I've been working on some designs that are easy to mass produce. This is one of them.
I've only made one to see what it would involve and how long it would take and I was pleasantly surprised. Not a lot of supplies, not a lot of time and I think it came out pretty.
On a piece of dark brown card stock, I stamped various sizes of the pinecones using VersaMark ink. Then sprinkled Ranger's Super Fine white embossing powder and heat set it. Next I stamped the small pinecones in the corners (both on the front of the card and on the inside panel), and made masks for them. Then I stamped the branches so it would resemble Pine Tree branches with pinecones :-)
Lastly, I stamped the greeting, sprinkled WOW gold embossing powder over it and heat set it. On the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Clair inks. First got all the green ink on the stamp and then dabbed a little brown on the edges. The greeting is a Rosewood stamp called A Wonderful Year. I purchased it during one of the International Sales events at the Fairy Stamper store. The best way to know about these special events is to subscribe to their newsletter.
All that was left to do was assemble it and it was done. Oh yes, I forgot to mentioned that I added a little Fairy Hugs gold glitter to the pinecones so it would tie in with the gold greeting and the gold ribbon/bow.
It took me about 20 minutes to put it together and the heat embossing is what took the longest. Of course, you can use the same design without heat embossing at all, by just using different coloured cardstock.
