Hello Stampin’ Friends,

The holiday season will soon be upon us, and what better way to spread some festive cheer than by sending heartfelt Christmas cards to your loved ones? Today, we’re going to create a stunning Christmas card using the Merriest Trees Dies and the Snowflake Magic 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Paper. This card not only captures the spirit of the season but also showcases some must-have products for your holiday crafting collection.

Let’s begin with a piece of Basic White Cardstock for your card base 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ that will be scored at folded at 4-1/4″ . You will also need a card front (white) 5-1/4″ x 4″ and your blending brush with Balmy Blue Classic Ink. Apply a small amount of ink to the brush in a circular motion apply the ink to the card front, this will create a soft glow for behind your tree.

Now, it’s time to bring out the star of the show: the Merriest Trees Dies. Choose a beautiful design from the Snowflake Magic Designer Paper, and die-cut your tree. This paper is ideal for creating intricate and elegant holiday-themed die-cuts.

Carefully place your die-cut tree onto the Balmy Blue background you created earlier. The soft blue glow behind the tree will give it a magical appearance, as if it’s nestled in a snowy forest.

For the finishing touch, let’s add a heartfelt message. The Beary Cute Stamp Set comes to the rescue! I used the “Merry Christmas” to convey my holiday wishes, and stamped onto a scrap piece of cardstock and adhered it near the bottom of the card.

Time to decorate the tree to add your personal touch to the card. Die cut the garland in Balmy Blue that’s included in the Merriest Trees stamp set and add a little sparkle with your Wink of Stella. Lastly you’ll tuck a little Balmy Blue Sparkly ribbon behind the greeting.
