Stampin' Up! Chritsmas Pines for Coffee & Cards

Hello, every year I offer a Christmas in July version of Coffee & Cards so, next week we will be using a stamp set called Christmas Pines!

I was so pleased when I discovered that this versatile stamp set had not retired; it is a firm favourite with me.  I have a Pinterest board with lots of ideas using this set which you can see here.

Best of all, there is a matching thinlits set that allows you to create delicate pine boughs in three sizes and the most amazing pine cones!

I thought I would use traditional Christmas colours.

Old Olive

Real Red

Shaded Spruce

Whisper White

However, you might remember that I used Christmas Pines last year using Pool Party - you can find details here.

This week we will be stamping, embossing and doing lots of die cutting - I might do some for you beforehand if I am feeling generous!

Here are the cards we will be making.  Whilst editing the photo below I had an idea for an improvement to the card on the left - I will trial it tomorrow with my crafty ladies and see how it turns out!

If you would like to join me, you can find me at the following locations next week.  Please note - places are limited on Monday so let me know if you would like to join me asap.

I will be posting more details of these projects and the products I used to create them later this week. I also have a couple of different variations to share with you too - I was very indecisive when I was making projects for this week!  

I have just realised that it is August on Wednesday so the Thursday C & C session is not in July (obviously) - I hope you will forgive me!

Hope you can join me for a crafty Christmas coffee soon!
