Peaceful Boughs

This is another beautiful set from the 2019 Holiday Catalog.  I just love pine boughs and pinecones.  As a matter of fact I bought a 4" artificial tree with pinecones on it at a craft fair this year that I can't wait to decorate for Christmas.  Garden Green is perfect for this set as well as the Soft Suede or the Early Espresso ink on the Crumb Cake cardstock for the pinecones.  Then I was able to die cut them out with the Beautiful Boughs Dies that go with it.


Stamp Set: Peaceful Boughs

Cardstock:  Early Expresso, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake

Ink:  Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler

Other:  Big Shot, Beautiful Boughs Dies, Multipurpose Glue, Dimensionals



1.     The base of the card is Early Espresso cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4”.

3.    Ink up the pine bough stamp with Garden Green ink.  Stamp full strength on the upper left-hand corner of the Very Vanilla cardstock.  Stamp again without reinking on a few of them.

4.    Ink up the large and small pine cone stamps with Early Espresso ink or Soft Suede ink and stamp on Crumb Cake cardstock.  Die cut with the Beautiful Bough Dies and attach the two small cones with Multipurpose and a Dimensional on the back of the large one to put between the two small ones.

5.    Ink up the sentiment with Cherry Cobbler on the label and attach with Dimensionals.
