Blue Pine Tree Trimmings



Who says Christmas trees can't be blue? Not me! I was looking for a way to use my blue glimmer paper and my stash of Peaceful Garden DSP as I had bought a lot of both and decided to make a Christmas card in non-traditional colors and here it is. I love how sparkly the Glimmer Paper is and how well it compliments the Peaceful Garden DSP. And I feel like we could all use some extra glimmer at the holiday time. 

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

  1. Cloud Cover cardstock—card base 4 ¼” by 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼” on the long side. Second piece die cut using the Pine Tree Trimmings. ½” strip for sentiment
  2. Peaceful Garden DSP—4” by 5 ¼”, the smaller strip is 2 ½” by 5 ½”
  3. Basic White cardstock—inside piece  3 ¾” by 5”
  4. Glimmer Paper— die cut one of each color using the Pine Tree Trimmings
  5. Stamp sets—Pine Tree Trimmings, Peace on Earth
  6. Dies—Pine Tree Trimmings
  7. Ink—Versamark, Cloud Cover, Memento Black
  8. Silver Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments

Attach the larger piece of DSP to the front of the folded card. Attach the smaller strip on top of that, centering it top to bottom.

Emboss in silver the tree stamp on the Cloud Cover tree. Attach the trees to the front—you don’t have to use them all if you don’t want to—I raised up the embossed one on Dimensionals.

Stamp the ½” piece of Cloud Cover with Cloud Cover ink and attach with Dimensionals.

Stamp the ornaments multiple times across the top of the Basic White piece in Cloud Cover. Use a ruler and the Stampin’ Write marker to draw in the lines to resemble hanging ornaments.. Stamp the sentiment in Memento Black. Attach the inside piece to the card.

  3rd Charming Duck Pond Post This card is a modified gate-fold card as the left front is just 1 1/4". I love how you can use most of the page of the 6" by 6" piece of DSP scenery to make this card. Sometimes I use the back side for the little pieces, but this time I used a separate piece of DSP with just the rushes on it. Enjoy!

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

Gingerbread Man & Woman Aren't these gingerbread man and woman just so cute? They are from the new 2025 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog that goes live to everyone at midnight 9/3/25. I am sure they are going to be a big seller, so get yours quickly before they sell out (just my prediction). The stamp set has lots of different expressions for our little gingerbread person, and the dies have many different objects for them to hold, but the cutest part of the bundle is that the die cuts 2 gingerbread men that you fold in half to make a card that can open.  This set is called Gingerbread Man, but I just had to see if I could make a gingerbread woman as he seemed to need a girlfriend. I don't know if you can tell, but her skirt is made from one of the Coneflower Celebrations dies cut from both Real Red and Garden Green cardstock. I'm sure whomever thought up those dies never thought they'd be used like this.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Thick Basic White car...
