Sentimental Decorative Tree

Decorative Trees might be my favorite bundle from the 2024 Sept-Dec mini catalog. Most of the cards I have created from this set use the amazing dies, but not this time. I really wanted to see if I could make the tree look like one of the trees from the Sentimental Christmas DSP and if you look at the tree in the lower left of the card, that's the one I was trying to copy. So do you think I did a good job?

One of the things I love about the Sentimental Christmas DSP is that $3 from every package bought is donated to support a children's literacy program in the US. I love that Stampin' Up gives back in our communities. 

Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:

1.      1. Basic Beige cardstock 5 ½” by 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼” and folded on the score line. Second piece cut with the 3^rd largest Countryside Corners die

2.      2. Sentimental Christmas DSP—4” by 5 ¼”

3.      3. Basic White cardstock—3 ¾” by 5” for the inside

4.      4. Poppy Parade cardstock—cut 5 ornaments and 1 star

5.      5.Azure Afternoon cardstock—1” by 2 ½” scrap

6.      6. Stamp set—Decorative Trees

7.      7. Dies— Countryside Corners

8.      8. Ink—Mossy Meadow and Daffodil Delight

9.      9. Lt Azure Afternoon Blend

10.  10. Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Marker (or Dark Blend)

11   11. Supplies--Cut & Emboss Machine, bone folder, Paper Snips, Dimensionals (regular and mini), adhesive of choice

Stamp the outline and then the center of the tree in Mossy Meadow on the Countryside Corners die cut. Using the Azure Afternoon Blend draw candles on the tips of the trees and top them with Daffodil Delight flames.

Stamp “O Christmas Tree” on the Azure Afternoon scrap and fussy cut it out, or you can leave it plain.

Stamp the inside sentiment in Mossy Meadow and the stars around it in Daffodil Delight on the Basic White cardstock and attach that to the inside of the card.

Attach the Sentimental Christmas DSP to the card front and then the tree and sentiment using Dimensionals. Use Mini Dimensionals to attach the star and ornaments to the tree.
