Merry Pinecone Card

Hey there, this post was supposed to go up on Wednesday but there were internet issues at work. I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is done already! I was with my Parents hopefully, we had chicken, not a huge fan of turkey. After I stopped by my friend Rita’s and had a lovely time with her family. This past weekend I had a nice dinner with Heather and George on Saturday night and I went into the city and saw Kim on Sunday. We went to Lennox Thai for lunch, one of my faves! Yesterday it was officially 28 days until Christmas and 19 days until I leave for England! Whoop whoop!

I get the Simon Says Stamp Monthly Card Kits, they have been a favorite all this past year. I used some supplies from the STAMPtember Card Kit called Warmth and Wonder, definitely one of my all time faves! I started out by using the Simon Says Stamp Layering Pinecone Stencil to blend Simon Says Stamp Latte, Cookie, Cappuccino and Mocha Pawsitively Saturated Ink onto a piece of Hammermill 100lb Card Stock. The coordinating die cuts out the pinecone. For the background I used the Simon Says Stamp Delicate Pine Branches Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Recollections Green 100lb Card Stock. It’s added to a card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. The Simon Says Stamp Pine Needle Cluster Dies and some more Recollections Green 100lb Card Stock help add a little more dimension to the background. I added the pinecone to the card with Simon Says Stamp Big Momma Foam Tape. My greeting is from the Simon Says Stamp Graceful Holiday Greetings Stamp Set and it’s heat embossed in Brutus Monroe Alabaster Embossing Powder on more Recollections Green 100lb Card Stock. I added with more foam tape. Today’s bling is Simon Says Stamp Embellishment Mix Gilded.

I really love that pinecone and the embossing folder too!

I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and I thank you for your time! I want to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and hope you have loads of food and fun with your families! 🙂
