Hello and welcome. I am so pleased that you have popped by today. Make sure that you leave a comment to let me know where you’re from.
Today I have another Christmas card to share with you.
I started this card by choosing Designer Series Paper first. The Peaceful Place 12″x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper is a stunning collection of monochromatic and silver Christmas designs.
I chose two of the geometric designs because I wanted to use the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder and Evergreen Border Punch to add the conifers to my card.
I embossed a strip of the checked DSP and a panel of Basic Gray cardstock. The checked strip was then positioned to align with the trees on the base layer. Before I attached this to the card base I wrapped and secured a length of Smoky Slate Textured Ribbon around it.
The Christmas greeting, from the Holly Jolly Wishes Stamp Set, was stamped directly onto the second piece of DSP. To make sure this stamped piece would not buckle when it was popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered a slightly smaller piece of Smoky Slate card behind it.
Using Basic Gray, Mossy Meadow and Smoky Slate I punched several rows of trees and layered them together. After the trees were added to the front of the card, I chose one of the cabins from the same DSP bundle, fussy cut it and placed it in front of the trees. I also added trees to the card insert and envelope.
I like the way there is a small hint of colour, from the Mossy Meadow trees, just peeking out from behind the gray.
After a light brush of Clear Wink of Stella across the tree tops and roof, I placed some Silver Metallic Pearls to finish the card.
I’m rather pleased with the way this card looks. What do you think?
Until next time, happy stamping.
