Yes, I’m still trying to find uses for the gazillion pine cones we have at our mountain property in Colorado. I made this card to post on the Going Green Crafters and Artists website.
For this card, I removed the scales of a pine cone so I would have little pieces. I just tore the pieces off using my fingers. My pruners didn’t work well as it was too hard to get them far enough into the cone to make a cut.
I envisioned a sun or a wreath, so I stamped a circle on a piece of regular white card stock. This circle would be my template for placement of the scales. The stamped template and rough ends of the scales would be covered with punched circles and the greeting.
Once I had the design I wanted, I began attaching the scales to the card stock using Mini Glue Dots. I had my doubts on whether the Mini Glue Dots would hold the bulky pieces, but never fear, they work great. One should never under estimate a Mini Glue Dot!
