Prepping for the cards:

1- Stamp and cut out a bunch of the images in coordinating colors from the Stamp Set & Dies.

2- Add extra texture to some of the stamped images with the dots. Use VersaMark ink and Silver Heat Emboss Powder.

3- Add some Silver to the die cut trees with VersaMark refill and cotton swab. Appy to the bottom of each layer of branches. Add silver powder and heat.

4- Cut tree dies from the Whimsy & Wonder DSP using the simple pattern sides. Layer texture or decorative dies on top.

Card #1

1- Cut the Diagonal Stripe Shiny Pattern DSP to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and add it to the front of a Thick Basic White Cardbase.

2- Emboss a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Soft Sea Foam Cardstock with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder add it to the center of the cardbase.

3- Create a grouping of trees using the stamped & die cut images you have prepped. Add the larger images first. Mix sizes and textures. You can add some with dimensionals.

4- Take 12” of Blushing Bride Ribbon and fray it from one end to about ½ way. Separate into the section and tie a know about ½ way. Repeat with the other section. Then finish fraying the ribbon. This will keep the small strand together.

5- Stamp the greeting on one of the Seasonal Label Dies in Memento Black ink. Add adhesive to the back. With one section of the frayed ribbon place the center on the adhesive and wrap the ends back and forth to create a faux bow.

6- Then cut 5” of ribbon and trim down the center to create two thinner pieces. Add to the back of the greeting in an X shape. Trim the ends at an angle.

7- Add one of the Wonderful Snowflakes behind the greeting on the left side. Make sure the iridescent side is up. Add everything to the bottom left corner of the card with dimensionals.

8- Then tuck in small die cut trees around the greeting with dimensionals.

All Done!

Card #2

1- Cut the Blushing Bride Snowflake DSP to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and add it to the front of a Thick Basic White Cardbase.

2- Emboss a 3 ¼” x 5” piece of Soft Sea Foam Cardstock with the Snowflake Wintry Embossing Folder. Add it to a piece of 3 ½” x 5 ¼” piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock. Add this to the center of the cardbase.

3- Create a grouping of trees using the stamped & die cut images you have prepped. Add the larger images first. Mix sizes and textures.

4- Add medium size trees in front of the larger trees with dimensionals.

5- Next add the smaller die cut trees around the area where the greeting will go and in front of the other trees. Use dimensionals as you want.

6- Add a Wonderful Snowflake to the open area on the left where the greeting will go.

7- Stamp the greeting in Memento Black ink on a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock. Add the long label from the Seasonal Label Dies over the greeting so it is pushed all the way to one side. Use washi tape to hold it in place. Run through your cutting machine.

8- Then to cut the other side match the spacing and edges to be the same as the cut side. Add washi tape to hold in place. When cutting with your machine only place the top plate over the area you want to cut. See video if needed.

9- Cut 12” of ribbon and cut in half so you have two thinner pieces. Tie a bow with one of the pieces. Add adhesive to the back of the label and adhere the bow. Trim the ends. Add this to the card over the snowflake with dimensionals.

All Done!
