HOC WEEK 7: STAMPIN' UP! FOREVER FOREST CHRISTMAS CARD

 

Monday nights, until the end of November, mean Heart of Christmas blog hops.  A group of us, all Stampin' Up! demonstrators in Australia, shares our creations to inspire you to use Stampin' Up! products in your Christmas crafting.

The card I'm sharing tonight features the Forever Forest stamp set and co-ordinating dies, and beautiful papers from the Season of Green & Gold Designer Series Paper pack.

I stamped the three trees in Old Olive and Early Espresso inks, on Basic White card, before cutting them out with the co-ordinating die (obviously getting my placement of the die a little "off", when aligning the trunks - whoops!).  Two more trees were die-cut from Gold Foil sheet.

The two different patterned papers were sponged around the edges, with Mossy Meadow ink, then layered onto a Mossy Meadow card panel and a Thick Basic White card base.

The tiny stars were die-cut from Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper - an Online Exclusive product, that is no longer available.  The other embellishments I added are Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots, that I coloured with my Dark Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends marker.

Here's a closer look at the lovely gold-embossed sentiment.  On a strip of Graceful Greenery Vellum, I stamped the sentiment, from Greetings of the Season (an Online Exclusive product), in Versamark ink.  I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the words, and melted it with my heat tool.  Another couple of Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (coloured with the Dark Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends marker) were added to the sentiment panel.
