Sparkly Crhistmas Tree Card

Here's a Christmas card that I thought I had already shared on my blog, but don't see it. 

This is almost exactly like the one that Carol Lovenstein created for her husband. 

Here are the changes I made to her great design;
1. I didn't sponge green ink onto silver glimmer paper. Instead I used Wild Wasabi Designer Series Paper circles and I like the contrast with the red and silver glimmer papers.
2. I used Shimmery White card stock behind the tree. You can see the sparkle in this photo, but in person it is more subtle and I don't know that I would use the Shimmery White on this card if I were mass producing it.
3. I used a coordinating Wild Wasabi Designer Series Paper for the tree stand instead of Early Espresso, or whatever darker card stock was used in the original.

Other than that it is a copy of a winning card.

Have a blessed day!

We actually did get some snow today! The wind didn't quit, so the snow was blowing away until the freezing rain started. It has been 30° all day.

First we got some snow...

Then we got the freezing rain!

Hope it was warmer where you are!

Here's my project to share today.

 

It is a Christmas Tree that I created with the  Stampin' Up! stamp set, By the Seashore. I'm usually wishing I was by the seashore! ☺ I keep looking through my stamp sets to see which ones I can use to create unconventional Christmas cards and this was one that I came up with.

Products I used

Kraft paper

Soft Sky card stock

Very Vanilla card stock

Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

Crumb Cake classic stampin' ink pad

Pearls basic jewels

By the Seashore stamp set

Have a blessed day,

Embossed Christmas Tree card

I didn't use any Stampin' Up! products on this card. I have been stamping many years and have a huge assortment of non-Stampin' Up! stamps. Sometimes I just have to pull them out and use them!

Have a Happy Stamping Day!
