Happy Holidays

Hey everybody, happy weekend – I hope you’re having a good one! It’s Christmas in July all over the place! I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project featuring the beautiful Wooded Gathering and Good Tidings stamp sets which I paired with Gingerbread and Scarlet cardstock along with patterned papers from the Winter Wings and Love Letters paper collections. I also used the Lace Layers dies and some Red Shift Flat Back Crystals to bring this card to life. This tented easel card is on my (long) list of all-time favorite fun folds and I’ve made quite a few of them over the years. I love that it showcases large stamps so beautifully.

I cut the card base from Gingerbread cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Winter Wings and Love Letters paper collections. I stamped the large image from the Wooded Gathering stamp set in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink on CutCardStock Baronial Ivory cardstock and then spritzed it with Ornament Gold Chroma Mist.

I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in brown ink vertically on the left side of the focal image, and then added an edge from a Lace Layers die cut which I cut from Scarlet cardstock. I also stamped a sentiment from the Good Tidings stamp set and layered it on a Lace Layers die cut, also cut from the Scarlet cardstock. I adhered this to the bottom panel, popped up on a foam strip, which was the stopper to aid the card in standing for display.

I cut the inside panel from Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished it with a leftover patterned paper strip. I stamped another sentiment in brown ink from the same Wooded Gathering stamp set and layered the panel on Scarlet cardstock. I’ve also included an angled shot so you can see the cool construction.
