A Forest of the Merriest Trees for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I have just started playing with the goodies from my September – December 2023 Catalogue pre-order. This is the first card I made using the Merriest Trees bundle.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the merriest trees card, you will need:

Shaded Spruce card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Real Red card – 5⅛” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 2½” by ½”
Real Red card – 2½” by ¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Distressed Gold

 

The large solid tree was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card.

Without re-inking I stamped again a further 3 times with the ink getting lighter and lighter each time and taking care to make each tree smaller than the one before.

Using Balmy Blue ink, I stamped the stars. The stamped panel was then glued to the Real Red panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was then mounted onto the Shaded Spruce card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Real Red ink onto the strip of Basic White card. I glued it to the Real Red strip and added it to the card front.
