Festive Farmhouse Christmas
Hello and happy Friday! Today's card is CASE of a project on page 12 of the Autumn Winter catalogue. To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything. I loved the Festive Farmhouse suite as soon as I saw it when I was flipping through the catalogue for the first time. The card in the red distressed tin jumped out at me and I knew that I'd want to recreate it. I fell for the tin too!
Instead of a regular sized card I decided to make a square one, just for a change and because the paper is checked. I have used the Corrugated embossing folder, which is one of the newer style dynamic folders. It is thicker than the regular embossing folders and embosses deeply. Just look at how deep the texture is.
I'm really happy that the dies that are part of the suite include a stitched edge banner. I am particularly fond of stitched edges, AND there is also a small stitched edge rectangle! The sample in the picture layers the die-cut banner onto a second banner formed from the Striped Burlap Trim. Two pieces of trim are cut to form a banner end. It's so effective. I layered things one more time and added a thin Cherry Cobbler strip (with banner ends, obviously!).
To make the rustic bow I have deconstructed some of the Burlap trim and selected a couple of strands in the natural colour together with the Cherry Cobbler strand. Perfect coordination!
The centre piece was created by stamping the greeting twice; once in Mossy Meadow and again in Cherry Cobbler. These were then die cut, using the banner from this suite and a circle die from the layering circle set respectively.
The products I have used are available from my online Stampin' Up! shop, and you can follow the links below.
I love the traditional feel to this card. Thank you for visiting my blog today and as always, happy crafting,
