Christmas trees Archives - Page 2 of 2

Today I have had my first play with a really versatile stamp set called Nothing Sweeter. I used the quirky Christmas tree image from the stamp set which also has images of a present, a heart, a snowflake, a group of stars and a number of versatile sentiments.

Nothing Sweeter Christmas Card

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4” by 3¾”. I inked up the large texture stamp from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set using 2^nd generation Balmy Blue ink. I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink in the upper left hand corner of the panel and rounded the same corner using the Detailed Trio Punch. Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I added the stamped panel to a layer of Mossy Meadow cardstock having rounded the same corner.

I then took some scrap Whisper White cardstock and stamped the outline Christmas tree image in Mossy Meadow ink three times. I added the tree interior in 2^nd or 3^rd generation ink before die cutting them using the Big Shot and the Sweetly Stitched Framelits, both the tree frame and the stitched inner die. The trees were added to the right side of the panel using either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some stars around the die cut trees in 2^nd generation Balmy Blue ink.

Taking a Thick Whisper White card base I adhered a piece of Festive Farmhouse dsp 4” by 1⅞” to the bottom. The stamped panel was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Red Rhinestones to the trees and a bow made using the Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine in Mossy Meadow.

Today I am sharing the Stamp-a-Stack projects made by my ladies over the last couple of weeks. I love these events and these 2 days were particularly relaxed and easy going. As usual we had 5 project tables and the ladies moved from table to table during the day completing the cards, 2 each of 2 different designs on each table. The cards were designed around the Festive Farmhouse dsp pack which each lady was given on arrival along with a pack of Red Rhinestones and all the prepared cardstock and envelopes for all the projects. The ladies all provided their own favourite adhesive. Here are the sample cards from each table.
