O Christmas Tree


 

I wanted to use the CTMH Evergreen stamp set, and came up with this idea. I die cut the largest rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly die set. On that, I did a second and third generation stamp of the tall and medium trees so they would look like a forest of trees. For the first stamp, I stamped on scrap white cardstock. On the top of the tallest tree, I stamped the star in Versamark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder.

Colors: SU! Shaded Spruce, Gold

1. Cut card base out of Shaded Spruce cardstock. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4.

2. Cut 4 x 5 1/4 out of gold cardstock and attach.

3. Cut 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Shaded Spruce. Emboss with Merry Melody embossing folder. Attach to card front.

4. Attach decorated tree rectangle. Use dimensionals to add the trees to the front of the card, 

5. Stamp sentiment onto scrap of Shaded Spruce CS using versamark, emboss with gold embossing powder. Attach to card using mini dimensionals.

6. Cut 4 x 5 1/4 from white CS. Stamp sentiment. Attach to the inside of the card.

Crayon Birthday Fun Fold

Image
 I wanted to use up some random envelopes with this card. So I measured the envelope, subtracted a quarter inch from each side, and that is the size of the face of the card.  This fun fold opens only in the middle, so I made the middle one half the size of the card face and each strip of patterned paper one quarter of the card face (minus one fourth inch to give the border). The patterned paper is just random paper from my stash.  I cut white cardstock for the inside middle and the outside middle.  The front piece of white I embossed with SU birthday greetings embossing folder.  Then I stamped the crayon from School Days from CTMH and cut them out. I adhered them with dimensionals.  The red gems are from the dollar store.  Easy but fun!
