P retty Christmas card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Evening Evergreen Cardstock 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 3-1/4" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 3-1/4" of white pine needle boughs on green background design from Painted Christmas 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
Insert the white rectangle into the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Use the line drawn on the front flap of the folder to help you line the cardstock up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Adhere the dry embossed white rectangle to the front of the Evening Evergreen card.
Adhere the strip of Painted Christmas Designer Paper to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and is about 5/8" from the bottom.
As you are ready to stamp using the Beauty Of Friendship Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the large, more solid evergreen tree image from the Beauty Of Friendship Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Soft Succulent Ink Pad. Stamp it on the center of the large white square.
Mount the large, more detailed evergreen tree image from the Beauty Of Friendship Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Evening Evergreen Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the previously stamped tree image.
Pick out the stitched circle die that cuts out a 3" circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put it on top of the stamped tree square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the tree is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Adhere the tree circle cut out to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and overlaps the top of the designer paper strip just a bit.
Mount the "Peace Joy Love" sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Evening Evergreen Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small white square.
Pick out the stitched circle die that cuts out a 1-1/4" circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put it on top of the sentiment stamped white square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment circle cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the lower left side of the tree circle cut out and the upper left side of the designer paper strip as shown.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon.
Tie a knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card at a slight angle as shown on the lower right side of the sentiment circle cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large star from a sheet of Adhesive-Backed Stars making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the top of the tree.
