Layering Winter Bouquet and a Sparkly Background! | Rubbernecker Stamps

 Happy sparkly new week my friends!  Today I have a beautiful card featuring Rubbernecker Stamps gorgeous layering set called Winter Bouquet.  I've layered these beauties onto a sparkly background for that festive feeling!  Read on to learn how I created my card.

Card base:

  • Stamp the Veined Leaves Background stamp in Versamark clear ink onto 80# Neenah Solar White card stock.
  • Sprinkle on embossing powder (I used some gold sparkle embossing powder from my stash.)  Heat set.
  • Die cut with the largest Nested Rectangle Small Stitch die.
  • Cut a 2-½" x 6" strip of vellum.  Fold around the embossed panel and adhere on the back side.
  • Adhere the panel to a top-folding A2 card base.

Winter Bouquet:

  • Stamp the pinecone layers with Mocha, Caramel, Cinnamon, and Pecan inks from Color Fuse set #3.  The base layers are stamped in Mocha.  Stamp the second layer in Caramel, and then Cinnamon for the third layers.  The large pinecone has a fourth layer which I stamped in Pecan.
  • The leaves and pine branches are stamped in various greens from Color Fuse set #10.
  • Be sure to use the included guide to make your layering easier.  Some layers I stamped once, others 2-3 times.  You can get different looks by varying the intensity of layers.
  • For the berry branches I used Color Fuse set #5.  I used Pecan ink for the branches.
  • Die cut the pieces with the coordinating dies.

  • To make it easy to adhere your pieces to the card, arrange them first off of the card.
  • Next I pressed a piece of Press N Seal over my arrangement making sure it is stuck to all of the pieces.
  • Now you can flip it over and add glue to the back of the pieces you want adhered flat.  Pick up the Press N Seal and flip it over to adhere the pieces with glue to the vellum.  I put something heavy on it for several minutes while the glue dried.  It does take a bit longer for glue to dry on the vellum, so don't rush this part. Carefully pull up the Press N Seal keeping all of the other pieces stuck to it.
  • I added glue to the next layer of elements I wanted glued flat.  Once those were dry, I added thin foam squares to the large pinecones and a regular foam square to the small one and adhered them down.
  • To finish, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with the same gold sparkly embossing powder.  I trimmed it into a fishtail banner shape, added foam squares and adhered it to the card.

I hope I've inspired you to give these beautiful layering stamps a try!  Thank you so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful, and crafty, week!
