Ok onto the details of how to make the card...
Card Measurements:
Take one 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of Basic White Cardstock
Score the whole sheet (width wise) at 5-1/2"
Cut whole sheet (length wise) at 4-1/4"
You will get two card bases from one sheet of cardstock!
How I Made This Card:
Stamp & Die Cut (5) Christmas Garlands - I used Evening Evergreen Ink and chose to keep the bulbs white but you could create a multicolor light look with your Stampin' Blends.
Color Each garland with the Stampin' Blends Combo Just Jade. NOTE: So many wonderful greens you can choose from I chose Just Jade.
I also used several products from the Sweet Stockings Suite on this card:
Using the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper, I cut a stitched rectangle layer using the Cherry Cobbler pattern and fussy cut the dog in lights and the mouse carrying a present (on the opposite side of same DSP paper).
Add Matte Decorative Dots in multicolors so create a look of ornaments on your tree.
Use Pool Party Striped Grosgrain ribbon to create an adorable tree topper. Adhere with Mini Glue Dot.
I chose to pop each garland up on Stampin' Dimensionals.
I trimmed off any part of the garland if it went over the edge of the card.
I used "A Merry Hello" from the Be Jolly Stamp Set. Stamped in Cherry Cobbler on 1/2" strip of Basic White Cardtsock and used the Banner Pick a Punch to trim each edge.
This is such a fun, BIG IMPACT card and you can decide how big and fluffy you want your tree to be!
Thank you for stopping by the blog and happy crafting!
