Very Merry Christmas Card with Decorative Trees
If you’re looking to craft a festive card, this Very Merry Christmas card with Decorative Trees Bundle by Stampin’ Up! is just the project for you! Featuring three die-cut trees from the Decorative Trees Dies, combined with the beautiful Season of Elegance Designer Paper, this card is simple yet stunning. The elegant paper adds a luxurious touch, while the die-cut trees bring dimension to your design.
Start by selecting your favorite patterns from the Season of Elegance Designer Paper and use the Decorative Trees Dies to cut out three trees. In my case, I used the Pretty Peacock paper. These will be the focal point of your card. Arrange them on your card base for a balanced look, then add the “A Very Merry Christmas” sentiment to tie the whole design together.
This project is perfect for both beginner and seasoned cardmakers, offering a beautiful handmade card with just a few simple steps. Spread some holiday cheer with this personalized Christmas card that’s sure to impress!
