Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas featuring Christmas Pines #3

Welcome back for week 11 of the Heart of Christmas cards. This week, I have used the Christmas Pines stamp set again and have scrap lifted from the annual catalogue also.
As always, the step by step instructions to recreate my card are at the end of this blog post.

Inspiration from page 121 of the annual catalogue

My card

Close up

Step by step instructions to create you own card (inches are in bold)
If desired ink all edges of cardstock/DSP etc. using coordinating inkpads and sponge daubers
1. Cut red tissue paper larger than cardstock you are mounting it onto (9cm x 13.5cm (3 1/2" x 5 5/8")) and randomly stamp "sparkles" stamp from Christmas Pines stamp set in real red ink onto over the tissue paper and set it aside to dry
2. Cut crumb cake cardstock 14.5cm x 20cm (5 6/8" x 7 7/8") & score at 10cm (4") and set aside
3. Cut old olive cardstock 14cm x 9.5cm (5 1/2" x 3 3/4")
4. Crumple up red tissue paper and gently flatten it back out. Using a glue stick, cover the real red cardstock with glue and lay the tissue paper onto the side with the glue
5. Fold over the edges of excess tissue paper and adhere in place
6. Adhere ribbon in a "T" shape on real red cardstock and fold over excess ribbon (onto the back of the real red cardstock) and adhere in place 
7. Die cut the following items using the big shot and Pretty Pines thinlets
    - 4 emerald envy leaves
    - 3 copper foil sprigs
    - 7 old olive pine leaves
    - 2 chocolate chip pinecone bases
    - 2 soft suede crosshatch pinecones
8. Die cut a 5cm (2") circle from layering circles framelits and stamp Christmas Blessings to you and yours in real red and old olive inkpads. Add the emerald envy love hearts at the top and bottom of the circle
9. Adhere die cut shapes over ribbon "T" and finally added a ribbon bow (use the same ribbon as to create the "T") and the Christmas blessings tag
10. Adhere real red tissue paper cardstock onto old olive cardstock and finally adhere all onto crumb cake card front
