October Blog Hop - Christmas stamp set to make non-Christmas card

Hi Everyone,

Another month has flown by. October's Blog Hop stretches your mind and gets you to think outside of the box. The theme is use a Christmas stamp set to make a non-Christmas card. I absolutely love the Dove of Hope stamp set. I did something I have never done before to make this card - I stamped on Designer Series Paper (DSP) and die cut the dove. I think the dove looks fantastic with this paper from In Good Taste DSP. The sentiment is from Comfort and Hope stamp set. They go together so beautifully to make a card to send to anyone who needs a hug. During this time it could be anyone.

Measurements:

• Very Vanilla - card base  4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2; 2 1/2 x 3 3/4; scrap for sentiment
• Misty Moonlight - 3 x 4 1/4; scrap for sentiment mount
• In Good Taste DSP for the dove - 3 x 2 3/4
• In Good Taste DSP wood panel - 3 x 5 1/4

Instructions:

1. Cut the card base and score. Fold in half.
2. Adhere the wood panel onto the card front centering to the left hand side.
3. Die cut the Misty Moonlight paper using the Stitched So Sweetly largest rectangle and the third smallest Stitched Nested Labels.
4. Emboss the Very Vanilla  piece using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. Adhere this piece to the large Misty Moonlight die cut rectangle.
5. Stamp the sentiment from the Comfort and Hope stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink on the scrap piece of Very Vanilla and die cut using the second smallest Stitched Nesting Labels. Adhere to the Misty Moonlight die cut piece.
6. Stamp the dove from the Dove of Hope stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink. Die cut the dove using the Detailed Dove Dies. Adhere to the top left hand corner of the Misty Moonlight and Very Vanilla rectangle as shown.
7. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the card using dimensionals.
8. Adhere the sentiment to the front of the card using glue on the rectangle and a dimensionals on the right hand edge.
