Whimsical Trees 

Oh my! The colours on this card is gorgeous.

And the ribbon is a nice soft velvet which definitely adds softness to this card.

And the pop of Polish Pink finish’s the card off.

Instructions:

 

1. Optional step: Use one of the scalloped rectangle dies/Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut another shape out of the center of your DSP so that you can use it on another card.

2. Adhere DSP to cover card front and trim excess. Skinny strips may be used to embellish the inside of the card. 

3. Emboss towards the right side of the 5-1/2” x 4-1/4” white CS with the snowflake Wintry 3D  Embossing Folders and trim to 5-1/8” x 3-7/8”. Adhere this to the large Mint Macaron piece of CS. 

4. Stamp the tree with dots on the smaller Mint Macaron CS using the Versamark Pad and emboss with white from the Basics Emboss Powders.  

5. Stamp the holly sprig and greeting with Mint Macaron Classic Stampin Pad making sure that you allow enough space to die cut the greeting. 

6. Die cut the embossed tree, the vellum tree, the greeting and the holly sprig with dies as indicated on card.

7. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to attach the Vellum and Mint Macaron trees to the embossed snowflake layer. Note that you will want to only add glue to the back of the vellum tree where the other tree will cover it. 

8. Apply a glue dot on each side of the back of the layer with the embossed snowflake and trees (on the Mint Macaron CS),  1-3/4” up from the bottom. Wrap the ribbon around the front adhering the ends to the glue dots.

9. Adhere this large panel with the trees to card base using either Stampin’ Dimensionals or Foam Adhesive strips. Be generous and make sure you add these to the center also.

10. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper and lower part of the die cut greeting, so that they will adhere to card stock and not ribbon.

11. Color the holly sprig lightly with Stampin’ Blends. Attach as shown to the greeting using Mini Glue Dots. Embellish with Polished Pink In Color Jewels.
