I came across the Paper Players Theme Challenge PP551 this week and decided to give it a try!!
I chose to use the Merry Moose stamp set and combined it with the In The Pines bundle. I thought they would compliment each other nicely.
I started by running a piece of the Shimmery White cardstock through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine with the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder. I applied some Garden Green ink with a sponge brayer which added some really nice detail to the trees and still retained the shimmery effect. This layer was added to the top half of the Cherry Cobbler cardstock piece and the Plaid DSP was attached to the bottom half. I then attached this entire layer to my Crumb Cake card base. The ribbon was wrapped around all three layers and tied in a bow over the seam where the papers meet.
The trees from the In The Pines stamp set were stamped in Garden Green ink on Garden Green cardstock and cut out with the coordinating dies. The ones in the background were added with Liquid Multipurpose glue and tucked behind the ribbon, the large one in front I attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. The moose was stamped in Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and punched out with the Moose punch and also added with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The sentiment From the Autumn Goodness stamp set was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and cut out with the Tasteful Labels dies.
Cardstock Measurements:
- Crumb Cake - 4-1/4 x 11, fold in half for card base
