Perched in a Tree - Christmas Card

This a Christmas Card using the Perched in a Tree stamp set. MY WEBSITE STORE It is so versatile! It can be used for all four seasons. It is one of my favorite stamp sets in the Holiday Mini Catalog for 2022.

I used another set from the Annual Catalog called Season of Chic to create the silver snowflake HERE

I think Night of Navy Cardstock, Silver Foil, and Basic White make great winter scenes for Christmas cards. I was inspired by Lois Rist for this card who is another demonstrator.

Stamp Set: Perched in a Tree, Season of Chic

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Silver Foil, Basic White

Ink: Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Night of Navy

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Aspen Tree Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Chic Dies, Embossing Buddy, Heat Tool, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals, Glue Dots

1. The base of the card is Night of Navy cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11 and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2. The second Layer is Silver Foil cut at 4” x 5-1/4”. Die-cut snowflakes out of the center of the Silver Foil. (Waste Not Want Not!-the die-cuts won’t show if you die-cut them from the center).

3. The third layer is Night of Navy cardstock cut at 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”. Use the Embossing Buddy to cover it to remove excess moisture from the cardstock. Take the “Splotchy” stamp inked up with Versamark and randomly stamp all over. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the splotches and heat set with the Heat Tool. The powder will turn shiny when it is completely embossed. This will represent snowflakes in the background.

4. The fourth layer is Basic White cardstock cut at 3-7/8” x 5-1/8” (same as the Night of Navy layer). Die-cut the Aspen Tree Die in the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with Basic White cardstock.

5. Attach the Night of Navy “Splotchy snowflakes” to the Basic White Aspen Tree die-cut with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Attach to the Silver Foil Layer and all to the base of the card.

6. Ink up the sentiment “Wishing You Abundant Joy and Peace” with Versamark ink on the right side of the Night of Navy Banner cut out with the Stylish Shapes Dies. Emboss it with White Embossing Powder and heat it with the Heat Tool until it is shiny. Attach to the bottom of the tree with Dimensionals.

7. Add a tiny Silver Foil Snowflake with a Glue Dot.

8. Inside: Basic White Cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/2”. Stamp the large snowflake from the Season of Chic stamp with Night of Navy ink.
