Hi Friends! It's Dana here today and I am sharing a card that uses the Cottage Keepsakes set along with some Seasonal Sprigs to create charming holiday kitchen shelves. I love how these sets can be combined to give your kitchen shelves lots of fun details and possibilities. Grab a cup of tea and come follow along...

How to recreate this card:

1. Prepare a side-folding A2 card base and four A2 card panels from white cardstock.

2. Use the Cottage Keepsakes and Seasonal Sprigs stamp sets to stamp your images onto white cardstock with detail black ink.

3. Use the coordinating stencils to add color your stamped images.

Cottage Keepsakes

  • Stencil 1: Passions Fruit
  • Stencil 2: Ocean Breeze
  • Stencil 3: Berrylicious
  • Stencil 4: Bay Leaf
  • Stencil 5: Aquamarine & Key Lime
  • Stencil 6: Grassy Knoll

Seasonal Sprigs

  • Stencil 1: Ocean Breeze
  • Stencil 2: Grassy Knoll
  • Stencil 3: Passion Fruit
  • Stencil 4: Olive
  • Stencil 5: Aquamarine
  • Stencil 6: Berrylicious

4. Die cut the stenciled images with the Cottage Keepsakes and Seasonal Sprigs dies.

5. Use the Starlit Strands press plate and a piece of white cardstock to create your card panel. *I love the subtle detail you can create with the press plate and your die cutting machine.

6. Attach your Starlit Strands panel to your A2 card base.

7. Use the largest two Single Stitch Rectangle dies to die cut a frame.

8. Ink blend the frame with Passion Fruit ink and attach it to your card panel with liquid glue.

9. Adhere your shelves and all of your sweet images with foam adhesive to create your scene.

10. Stamp your sentiment with the Seasonal Sprigs set and black ink.

11. Die cut and adhere your sentiment to the bottom of your card with foam adhesive.
