STAMPIN' UP! PEACEFUL CABIN BIRTHDAY CARD - CINNAMON CIDER

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about Cinnamon Cider.  When this colour was introduced to Stampin' Up!'s range, as an In Color last year, I was very excited.  It is different to any other brown in our range.  I haven't used Cinnamon Cider as much as I thought I would, so really enjoyed the challenge this week.

My card features the fab new Peaceful Cabin bundle, that I know I'll get a lot of use out of, especially for masculine cards.



I stamped the cabin image onto a piece of the new Cork Specialty Paper.  I first stamped it using Saddle Brown Stazon ink, but the image was too orange for my liking.  Using my Stamparatus, I lined up the stamp again, and stamped over the top using Jet Black Stazon ink.  The result looks more dark brown than black, which is just what I wanted!

The fence has been stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink, on Smoky Slate card, and die-cut.  The trees are die-cut from Cinnamon Cider and Basic Gray card.



I love the checked paper I've used in the background; it looks like a warm blanket, or a flannel shirt, don't you think?  It, and the paper on which I stamped the sentiment, is from the Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper pack.

The sentiment, from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set, was stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink.  I cut it out using a Tasteful Labels Die, and added some Cinnamon Cider Square Gems to the side.

  3. Really lovely. I'm surprised at how great Cinnamon Cider looks stamped on that paper, but then the stamped cork - wow! Those square embellishments really work well against that straight edge. Great card.

  7. It hadn't occurred to me to stamp on cork! I actually need to progress to just cutting it. I can see you had a lot of fun making your card, Christine, so many wonderful details.

  9. I have been looking at your card for quite a while now and it is just lovely. I was not sure I could make the cork paper work but you have stamped on it and it just works for you card so well. I love the sentiment too just gorgeous in Cinnamon Cider and the little square embellishments they are so cute. I think I would like a little holiday now but of course a male card is good too but maybe a holiday away from it all. Really lovely card.

  10. Oh wow what a great idea to stamp and die cut the cabin on the cork. I'm loving the cork and think I'm going to ahve to reorder more soon. I have to confess that I hadnt actually noticed that DSP on the reverse. It's just some cuddly as you said. Ditto on not noticing that sentiment stamp as well but then you always have a knack of enabling ;)

  12. That’s a really lovely sentiment Christine. Great idea to stamp the cabin onto the cork paper - it’s so effective. I love that you stamped the fence onto Smoky Slate, and the check background reminds me of the flannel shirts my beautiful dad used to wear. A really great masculine design.
