A CHRISTMAS THEMED CARD FOR #GDP319

This is the last Global Design Project card I will be sharing for 2021. Next week Rob and I are off to Tasmania for a couple of weeks and then, a few days after we return, we will be heading to Noosa for an extended family Christmas.

This week’s theme is –

I decided to go right to the middle and choose Christmas trees as my inspiration.

I used the Stitched Triangle Dies to cut lots of gray and silver trees from a variety of papers – Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper, Black Glitter Paper, Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate and a small scrap of retired Silver Foil.

After choosing a Basic Gray card base, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

I layered the tree triangles across the card front using Multipurpose Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals to create height and depth.

The silver star was cut using the Stockings Dies.

I love the way the silver foil and acetate reflect light and make the card shine.

I added a tree to the card insert and envelope to tie all the elements together.

There is no extra bling on the card – all the silver is more than enough.

The greeting, “this wondrous season”, is from the Heartfelt Wishes Stamp Set and was stamped in Basic Gray onto a piece of Peaceful Place Specialty DSP. It was trimmed down and then layered across the trees at the bottom of the card.

I’m looking forward to rejoining the Global Design Project challenges next year.

Until next time, happy stamping.
