Our winter walk takes us under the pines today as we’re checking out another design in the paper pack called A Walk in the Forest by the Stampin’ Up!, which will release next week. This sheet is the perfect backdrop of freshly dropped pine needles and pairs perfectly with the winter foliage stamps and dies you may have in your stash. When I saw this particular sheet of designer paper, I knew that I had to pair it with the Christmas Season stamp/die set, which is one of my favorite foliage sets. Although this SU! set happens to be retired, there is a beautiful bundle of winter foliage in the Holiday Mini catalog called Joy of Noel and it would make the perfect substitute in this design!
I decided to compliment the sheet of pine needles with a card base of Mossy Meadow. I used Shaded Spruce and Mossy Meadow to make pine bough elements because I wanted to some realism to the age of the dropped branches. I love how the two-step stamps in Christmas Season add so much detail to the pinecones. I didn’t want to completely cover the beautiful background paper, so I chose a sheet of green shimmer vellum for the sentiment panel. To bring in the woody element of the branches, I used the natural wavy trim. The touch of gold in the sequins and sentiment help the eye move easily across the design. A super simple design with a lot of impact!
