December 2020 APPT Blog Hop

Welcome to the December 2020 APPT Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called Beary Comforting and it makes 9 cards in 3 different designs. I used pieces from the kit an a few other things to create today’s projects: a get well card and a decorated Acetate Card Box.

Be sure to hop around to all the stops. You’ll want to see all the alternate projects this group has created for you today. Scroll down to see the hop list, just below the instructions for my projects.

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

• Cinnamon Cider card stock (CS) layer cut to 4″ x 5″
• white CS cut to 10-3/4″ x 8-1/8″, then scored as follows
  • scored along the longer side at 4-1/2″, 5-1/8″, 9-5/8″, and 10-1/4″
  • scored along the shorter side at 1/2″, 1-1/8″, 7″, and 7-5/8″
  • Click on the diagram to see the full size image

Stamped with the Beary Comforting stamp set:

• sentiments in Cinnamon Cider ink onto two labels from the kit: a round one and a smaller rectangular one

Cut using the Label Me Lovely Punch:

• a scrap of Cinnamon Cider CS

Assembled the card:

• burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
• gold wreath glued onto the front of the card base
• punched piece of Cinnamon Cider CS glued in the center of the gold wreath
• rectangular sentiment adhered onto a larger rectangular label using Stampin’ Dimensionals, putting the stem of a gold leaf sprig between them
• sentiment stack glued over the center of the wreath
• 3 Cinnamon Cider enamel dots applied on and around the sentiment using my Take Your Pick tool

Assembled the box:

• burnished all the folds in the insert with a Bone Folder, and used Paper Snips to trim away the green areas in the diagram
• long flap glued onto the inside of the opposite side to form the basic box shape
• insert slipped into an Acetate Card Box – it’s very snug but will fit – and closed up the ends
• Cinnamon Cider CS layer adhered onto the front of the box using Stampin’ Seal
• layer from the kit glued onto the Cinnamon Cider CS layer
• Stampin’ Dimensionals applied onto the back of the round sentiment
• 4 gold leaf sprigs stuck onto the Dimensionals on the back of the sentiment
• sentiment, with sprigs, adhered onto the center of the top layer
• 3 Cinnamon Cider enamel dots applied and around the sentiment using my Take Your Pick tool
