Here’s a Few Tips and Techniques for You

You probably noticed that there isn’t any Cherry Cobbler Ribbon in the catalogues.  So, I used this Technique:  

• Use a neutral colored ribbon , ie something with Whisper White or Very Vanilla.  I had some satin ribbon left from a couple of catalogues ago.  Cut a piece making it as long or short as you need.  Use either the Cherry Cobbler light or dark Stampin’ Blends and color the ribbon.  Voila, you have ribbon that coordinates with your project.
• My second tip is the make your rhinestones color coordinated with your project. Again use the Stampin’ Blends to color the rhinestones.  Stampin’ Blends are alcohol markers and therefore, the color does not rub off or wipe off.

The How To’s

Cardstock Measurements:

• Cherry Cobbler: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″, and 5-1/4″ x 4″.
• Whisper White: 
• Gold Foil:

Put, It Together

• Use a Die cutting and embossing machine and the Heirloom Frames Dies to cut  a frame from the Gold Foil.  Emboss the frame with the Heirloom Embossing Folder.  If you are having difficulties using this die and embossing folder, watch the video from this post.
• Stamp the sentiment from the First Frost set on Whisper White and die cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies,  Emboss the Cherry Cobbler cardstock panel with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder.  Attach the panel to the cardbase, adhere the embossed frame to the panel and insert the sentiment inside the frame.
• Stamp the magnolias with Tuxedo Black on Whisper White.  Colour using the Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends and die cut with the Magnolia Memory Dies.
• Follow the tip above to colour the ribbon if you don’t have a piece of Cherry Cobbler ribbon. Tie a know and attach to the top of the sentiment oval. Attach a coloured rhinestone jewel to the bottom of the sentiment.
• Attach the magnolias to the frame with Stampin’ Up! Dimensionals.
• Cut a piece of Whisper White, stamp a verse or decorate and attach to the inside of the card.

Sit back and enjoy the Magnolia for the Season card.
