Hot off the press: Stampin’ Up! is having a one-day-only stamp sale, tomorrow September 18. Come back tomorrow for a link to the sale product list.
The starting point for today’s card was to cut three squares, using the third largest, Stylish Shapes Die. The squares were cut from two designer papers: Season Of Elegance and Regals Distressed Patterns. Then, I glued the squares together, turned on the diagonal, and placed them on Dimensionals. To decorate the squares, I used a Scenic Adventure Die to cut pine trees from the same, Season Of Elegance DSP. The trees were layered with cardstock for thickness, and glued in place.

Stylish Shapes Christmas
Next, I cut the background from Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and gave it texture with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. This layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The word “Christmas” was cut from gold, Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. After layering it for thickness, I glued it on top of the trees. To complete the design, I added three Adhesive Backed Birds in gold.

I was inspired by TGIF.
