Stampin' Up! Pretty Pines for Coffee & Cards

Hello this week for Coffee & Cards we will mainly be using the Pretty Pines Thinlits to decorate a mini cracker and a card.

We will be using lots of metallic colours, gold, silver, copper with a hint of white.

We will be using the Pretty Pines Thinlets with, wait for it ... Gorgeous Grunge (sadly retired) as well as the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits!

I made a card very similar to this way back in 2016 just after the Autumn / Winter catalogue was released.  My previous version was a white on white card and the pine boughs etc were all in shades of green.  

For the 2017 version however I went with something a little different.  I saw a card on Pinterest made by a Canadian Demonstrator called Sandi McIver who had made a stunning card that I absolutely loved!  You can see Sandi's card here.

Sandi used a Basic Grey background so I thought I would come up with my own version of her card.

Here are the projects for next week - the cracker proved rather difficult to photograh.  We will be heat embossing, die cutting (lots) with just a little stamping and using the Envelope Punch Board to make the cracker.
