Welcome to week twelve of our Art With Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop! This is a weekly blog hop where we showcase the stunning range of Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order over 12 months and this week we are featuring Cherry Cobbler.
I love Cherry Cobbler on Christmas cards so I’ve paired it with the FREE (with $90 order) Rings of Love DSP to make a Christmas card for this week.
The gorgeous Rings of Love DSP and other Sale-a-bration products are only available until August 31, or when sold out – the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes have already sold out.
I’ve used the tree ring pattern from the Rings of Love DSP for my card because the tree rings on this patterned paper can be die cut and embossed using the all-in-one Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder.
I love the realistic texture this Hybrid Embossing Folder gives to the tree rings and I don’t have to stamp a thing!
This is how I lined up the tree ring images on the DSP with the all-in-one Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder. Using a glue dot really helps.
Place glue dot in centre of embossing folder on the side that has the Stampin’ Up! logo. 
Place the die cutting side up into embossing folder, pressing the die onto glue dot to adhere. 
Turn the embossing folder over so that the cutting side of the die is now facing downwards. 
Open the embossing folder slightly to slide the DSP under the die, lining up the tree ring images with the die. Run the embossing folder sandwich through the Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to die cut and emboss your tree rings.
The Timber embossing folder on the Basic white card stock layer was the perfect match for the embossed tree rings.
I used my light and dark Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends to colour in the twigs, branches and berries, all die cut using the smaller dies from the Tree Rings dies.
The sentiment is from the Christmas to Remember Stamp Set, stamped in Cherry Cobbler and die cut using the Seasonal Labels die.
The Cherry Cobbler pearls come from the Festive Pearls and a linen thread bow completes the card.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Tina Gillespie – I can’t wait to see what Tina has made this week!

What fantastic texture you have achieved with these products, absolutely stunning, Cathy. I didn’t want this bundle, but now I do, eeek. Very handy tip with the glue dot on the folder!!!
Cathy this is one of my favourite bundles in the mini catalogue and I have already “purchased” two packs of the coordinating paper. I love how you have used it here on your card. Simple but stunning. And I LOVE how you have used my favourite Chrissy greeting as well. With your permission, I will be casing this one.
Of course you can, Michele!
Oh I had been trying not to get these dies and embossing folder but your card is so gorgeous and elegant! Can you say elegant for a wood textured card! It is beautiful. Great tips on lining up that embossing folder and die! Now I have to get it don’t I!
Wowee! Your card is stunning! The wood textures are all so amazing, and I love that you’ve left the rest of the card simple to let them shine.
There is so much to love about this card Cathy. I love the texture that the hybrid offers and love how you have shared how to make it work easier. Your colouring of the twigs and leaves is lovely too.
Lovely card Cathy, and a great tip. I have been looking at this die and EF, now it’s on the list.
I just love this card Cathy – all that lovely white texture, then the beautiful tree pieces. I really need to rob a bank and get me some of these items!
Wow, all from the DSP and the embossing folder! Beautiful layers of texture in your card Cathy.
Oh Cathy, your card is simply gorgeous. I have been trying to resist this bundle but now …. Love your colouring of the twigs, berries and leaves. The cutting & embossing of tree rings is amazing and I love your inclusion of the timber embossing in the background. All so beautiful. Xxx
Oh my goodness – that texture! This is a beautiful card, Cathy; love all the products you used, and how you composed them. Great tip, for lining up the dies and embossing folder with the DSP. 🙂
