Hi Stampers!
Here’s a card I created for a recent demonstrator swap that I participated in. I used the “Ready for Christmas” stamp set along with the coordinating “Christmas Staircase” thinlits.
I created about a dozen of these for the swap.
I feel like this Christmas Bundle tells a story… so a z-fold seemed like a perfect layout for this card design.
My photographs just didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped, but next is a photo of the card opened up all the way
The tree that Stampin Up designed is utterly fabulous…I hope you can see the details in this next photo…
After you stamp the tree and use the framelit for the tree shape, you can add 6 detailed die-cut pine boughs that align perfectly with the stamped tree design underneath. I used some silver metallic thread as a sort of tinsel wrapped around the tree and also added some gold metallic ornaments.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Happy Stampin!
Mary
(PS…here’s a peek at how the z-fold is built.)
