I hope you had an enjoyable holiday weekend! We were out of town for the week visiting in Northern California. Our daughter, Erin, and our two grandchildren were able to come with us but we missed having our older daughter, Jenny, there with us too. Here we are at my mom’s. Brick wasn’t too happy about sitting for a picture but we were determined to get a photo!

When I saw these cute little mini pinecones in the Holiday Catalog, I just knew I had to get them. I had no idea how I’d use them but knew I was going to order them as soon as possible. Do you see one of them nestled among the larger pine cones? Cute, isn’t it???
My inspiration for this card came from Tamara Grenier, an Australian Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. I thought her card was gorgeous. I made a few minor changes to my version.
Card Details
- I ran my 4-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ of Whisper White through the Softly Falling Embossing Folder and glued it to a 3″ x 4-3/4″ piece of Copper Foil.
- Using the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies (you can see all of the pieces in the set below), I cut out two pinecones and the larger bow in the set with the Copper Foil.
- I cut three pine needles using Whisper White.
- I adhered the pine needles onto the card using our multipurpose liquid glue.
- I also used multipurpose glue to adhered the pine cones and bow together.
- I looped the mini pinecone through the Baker’s Twine and then tied my bow and attached it with a glue dot.
- My sentiment was stamped with Memento Ink. I used the stamp set Embellished Ornaments.

Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies #141851
There’s a stamp set that coordinates with the Pretty Pines Thinlits called Christmas Pines (see below). It is on sale until November 30th. It’s normally $35.00 but on sale it’s $26.25.

Christmas Pines #142049
All of the products I used to make my card are listed below!

I have one more fall card to share with you! I tried a technique called Faux Watercoloring. After stamping my leaves, I took my Aqua Painter and pulled the color away from the edges. I will be very honest and say that I don’t really care for the way these leaves look when they are stamped directly onto paper but I love the way they look with this technique. I think it softens the leaves up.

Vintage Leaves #138802
This stamp set also has a coordinating die set, the Leaflets Framelits (#138283). You can see a card using those dies from a blog post HERE.
