O Christmas Tree- A Trio of Trees

 

Hi Friends!

Merry Christmas week! Today I am sharing a quick Christmas card using the O Christmas Tree Bundle along with the Lumber 3D Embossing Folder, Fishtail Sentiment Banners Dies, Craft Consortium Organic Ink Drops paper and Deep Yellow Rhinestones (all from Stamp Simply)!

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be linking this card to  the As You Like It “Anything Christmassy” Challenge, Simon Says Wednesday “Use Dies in December” Challenge and the Word Art Wednesday #679-#680 “5^th Annual Blog Hop and Anything Goes” Challenge.

I like this tree stamp set and decided to ink up the modern tree for my quick CAS card.  

If you have not had a chance to stop by the Stamp Simply blog or the other challenge sites yet , I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Emboss a piece of white cardstock with the Sizzix 3D Lumber Embossing Folder.  Trim to approx. 4“x5¼” and mount onto a piece of dark green cardstock.

Mount the background panel onto a white card base.

De-static a piece of white cardstock and a piece of the Organic Ink Drops paper with an embossing powder tool (this paper is perfect for backgrounds and it is hard to see the gold veins on the die cut trees, but it is very versatile for Christmas cards as well). 

Using Versamark ink, stamp the tree image from O Christmas Tree Bundle onto the prepared panels (one on the white cardstock and two onto the designer paper), apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, die cut the trees with the coordinating die (cutting a second tree image from white cardstock to layer behind the white embossed tree).

De-static another piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the Merry Christmas sentiment from O Christmas Tree with Versamark ink, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the sentiment with the Fishtail Sentiment Banners die (die cutting a second banner from white cardstock, layering the plain die cut behind the embossed sentiment).

Adhere the two embossed green trees directly to the card front.

Add the white embossed tree and die cut sentiment to the card front with dimensional foam.

To finish off the card, add a deep yellow/gold rhinestone to the top of each tree.
