I created this card for the September Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. I really love the colors (although I accidently missed using one..... can you find which one I missed?). I hope you enjoy my card.
Cutting and Assembly Instructions:
Card base: 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2". This is a top fold card
Card front: 4" x 5 1/4". Stamp branches, stars, and sentiment on this layer
Scrap to stamp and die cut 3 ornaments. Apply these at differing heights using adhesive and dimensionals.
Ribbon: 3 pcs of 6" each. Tie bows, trims ends. Apply with rolled up mini glue dots
Inner message liner: 4" x 5 1/4". Stamp then adhere to inner card
Be sure to check out all of the blogs listed below. We sincerely hope to have brightened your day!
I demonstrated the Trimming the Tree bundle because Stampin' Up!® has a special that ends on September 30th. The Perfect Partners promotion is where Stampin' Up!® created 6 sets of dies that match 6 stamp sets that didn't have coordinating dies previously. This promotion is while supplies last.
The Tree Trimming dies are really cool because not only do they cut out the stamp images from the stamp set, but they have loads of detail dies that can be used by themselves. For instance, in the Happy Holidays card, the bows are detail dies. On the Peach& Joy card, the tree and pot for the trunk are detail dies. There are also two labels dies that fit all of the sentiments in the stamp set. Just a really great set!!
Below the video, are the cutting instructions. Then the product details can be found at the end of this post.
