Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Pile It On” – showcasing their card/project with layers of DSP and/or embellishments for any occasion. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Even though we could choose any occasion, I stayed with Christmas. I have been having such fun using all the great Christmas stamps that I did not even consider another occasion. Plus, with the Sneak Peek of the Quite Curvy Bundle and the matching Curvy Christmas stamp set, I just had to use it for this hop.
When I saw the row of trees in the Curvy Christmas stamp set, I immediately thought they needed rustic. So out came the Rustic Retreat stamp set. This cabin is perfect for so many occasions or if you simply love the mountains. I have all of the Stampin’ Blend colors I used in the Supply List.
With the Curvy Christmas and the Quite Curvy stamp sets, all of the stamps are, you guessed it, curved. But…..they are photopolymer, so they can be manipulated to be straight, or curve in the other direction. I needed it to curve in another direction due to my placements. It worked like a charm. So remember that with the photopolymer stamps!
For the cutting of the front of the base card, I cut the White layer using the swirly curvy die first. I then layed the white on the base card to place the second curvy die I used on the card base. With the white piece in place, I used a piece of washy tape to place that die where I wanted it and to hold it when I removed the white piece. I added back the piece of Shaded Spruce that was cut from the base card. I layed it down to see how much of the inside DSP I wanted to show, and then cut off the bit to make it flush with the bottom of the card.
You can see the inside of the card as well as the underside of the cabin attaching .
I manipulated the inside sentiment as well. I have it arched instead of curving. I love the ability to do this!
Thank you so much for hopping to my project. I love to read your thoughts on my cards, so please leave a comment.
