Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome to Day 2 of my 12 Days of Christmas celebration! Today, I’m thrilled to share a card that combines elegance with ease. This design features the stunning Painted Trees 3-D Embossing Folder, the Peaceful Season Bundle, and introduces the dazzling Pearlized Enamel Effects – Basics. This card was a hit with my Stamp Club, where members enjoyed learning the step-by-step process to create it. Now it’s your turn to dive in and see just how simple it is to bring this beautiful design to life!

Christmas cards hold a special kind of magic, and the Painted Trees 3-D Embossing Folder delivers that magic effortlessly. The intricate trees scene provides a textured backdrop, setting the stage for a serene, peaceful holiday message. Pairing it with the Peaceful Season Bundle—complete with coordinating stamps and dies—adds layers of charm. To top it off, the Pearlized Enamel Effects add just the right amount of shimmer, and truly highlighting our trees.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Card Base:
    Night of Navy: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored and folded at 4 1/4″. Attach 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White to the inside / stamp sentiment if desired.
  2. Basic White / Embossed Trees:
    Cut to 3 3/4″ x 5 1/2″. Using the Painted Trees embossing Folder, place your white cardstock in the center of the folder and “center” the largest tree to be the focal point of your card.
  3. Add Pearlized Details:
    Now for the fun part! Using a Sponge Dauber, lightly tap the Pearlized Enamel Effects onto your trees to add delicate covering on them, truly highlighting the beautiful detail of the embossing folder. Set aside and let dry while you continue.
  4. Gold Foil Mat::
    The Gold mat is 4″ x 5 1/2″. Using the “detailed” CHRISTMAS die from the Peaceful Season Bundle, you will place this in the center of the Gold Mat and die cut your greeting. At this time, using a scrap piece of Night of Navy… cut the coordinating Mat / Bold CHRISTMAS die. Adhere the two die cut pieces together with glue, and don’t forget the dot for your “i”.
  5. Assemble the Card:
    Begin by layering your greeting over the embossed trees. Add “MERRY” at this time. Now place your embossed tree piece over the Gold Mat. Now is the perfect time to add the beautiful Night of Navy and Gold Glitter Ribbon to your piece. Once you’ve added your bow, attach this assembly to your card base. You can adhere directly or add Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up.
  6. .Embellish:
    This will complete your card! I added the Gold Textured Adhesive Backed Dots. Feel free to use any of your favorite embellishments… I just wanted to stick with the GOLD and NAVY theme, as it’s so elegant.

This card was a joy to make and a delight to give. The combination of texture, elegant embossing, and that touch of pearly shine creates a timeless holiday greeting that anyone would cherish.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the Step by Step Instructions and feel inspired to give this card and the Enamel paint technique a try. The Painted Trees 3-D Embossing Folder and Peaceful Season Bundle are must-haves for your holiday crafting, and the Pearlized Enamel Effects truly elevate your designs. Let me know if you recreate this card—I’d love to see your version!

Stay tuned for Day 3 of my 12 Days of Christmas, where more holiday inspiration awaits.

I’m so excited to share the latest card I created using the Peaceful Season Stamp Set and Dies Bundle, a must-have for your holiday crafting! This bundle offers elegant holiday sentiments for sending heartfelt messages to your loved ones. What makes this bundle truly special are the coordinating dies, which beautifully enhance the stamped sentiments. The dies include elegant shapes that frame the greetings and add a polished, dimensional look to your cards.

For the card I’m showcasing today, I wanted to create something truly special, highlighting the beauty of a peaceful winter landscape….

The background was created with the Painted Trees embossing folder, which adds a wonderful textured forest scene. I enhanced the raised tree outlines with Pearlized Enamel Effects in White, giving the card a frosty, shimmering look—perfect for capturing the essence of a peaceful, winter day.
