Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Gorgeous Grape Cardstock in half at the score line to create your base card. Adhere the 4” x 5-1/4” Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Adhere the Pretty Peacock cardstock to the front of the card about 1/2” down from the top fold.
- Using the Pretty Peacock ink pad, ink up the detailed tree stamp and stamp on the right side of the card. Stamp again to the right without reinking, slightly overlapping the first tree. Ink up the stamp again with the same ink and stamp on the left side and then stamp again to the left without reinking. Make sure you’re varying the height of the trees as shown in the sample.
- Ink up the stamp a third time but stamp off on your scrap paper and stamp where there are gaps in the tree line.
- Adhere the White cardstock to front of card.
- Using the 2-1/2” x 3-1/2” piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the outline of the tree using Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp the detailed tree inside the tree frame using the same ink; stamp again without reinking.
- Run the stamped image through the Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut the tree using the outline die from the Bundle. Run the 1” piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out the star. Paint the star using the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the right side of the 1” x 2-1/2” piece of Basic White Cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink. Adhere the die-cut tree so that it just overlaps the left side of the sentiment tag. Adhere the star to the top of the tree using adhesive.
- Adhere the tree/sentiment tag to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- To finish, add Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the tree as desired.
