#faithfulinkspirations Today I’m sharing the second of three cards we’ll be making during the September session of my annual Christmas card-making class. I really enjoy this class–it’s one of the highlights of my Stampin’ Up year.
This card uses the “Peaceful Pines” stamp set and coordinating “Perfect Pines” Framelits. And it’s another clean and simple design, which I love. I started by making the Christmas trees. I cut out the Chocolate Chip tree on the left using the framelits. First I cut out the tree with the medium tree outline, then I laid the textured framelit on top and ran it through the Big Shot a second time. I used my Bone Folder to poke out the triangles from the back side of the tree.
For the tree on the left, I stamped the scallop tree in Pear Pizzaz ink onto Pear Pizzazz card stock and cut it out with the small tree framelit.
For the center tree, I stamped the “Hallelujah Chorus” tree in Pool Party onto Whisper White and cut it out with the largest tree outline framelit. I stamped the star in Crushed Curry and cut it out with the matching Framelit.
To assemble the card, I started with a Whisper White panel and adhered each of the trees to it using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a teeny, tiny piece of Stampin’ Dimensionals to squeeze behind the star, too. I wrapped a length of Whisper White Thick Baker’s twine just under the tree trunks before adhering this panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the assembled piece to a Thick Whisper White card base, cut lengthwise.
I’m torn: Does this card need a sentiment? Or is the “Hallelujah Chorus” on the tree enough?
COMING SOON! Do you wish you could come to one of my Christmas card-making classes but
