I inked up my Stampin’ UP! Winterly Tree Tops this weekend. Since I didn’t do the early release of this bundle, it is a new pre-order item for me! It is so pretty although I only stamped one little bird so far… and I could not help making him red…even though he doesn’t really look like a cardinal…hahaha

I used the NEW Take a Bow Designer Series Paper coming out September 4, 2024. It is full of small prints of Traditional Christmas Reds and Greens. It will be the perfect for making a bunch of Christmas cards. It was designed to go with the Stampin’ UP! Take a Bow Bundle that makes perfect Christmas Bows like you get in a bag. The sentiment was die cut with a die in the Everyday Details Die set.

Oops, I flunked my watermarking test by typing Treetops instead of Tree Tops???

Look at those other birds- you can cut ones like that out of the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.

Here is a quick little card with a fun technique called the Floating Strip Technique.

So easy to do…take a look…

I used one of the patterns in the Stampin’ UP! Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. It paired well with Pretty in Pink with Mossy Meadow die cut trees from the Stampin’ UP! Frosted Forest Bundle. You can find it in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. I used the Stampin’ UP! Unbounded Love stamps for the sentiments on each card- inside and outside.

I also made this one with another exact pattern with different colors. I used Calypso coral and Cajun Craze trees. The Gold Foiled Gems were perfect to accent the card.

On this card, I cut a 3-1/4″ square of Window Sheet (acetate) and another square of the same size Designer Series Paper. The trees were die cut from a 3-1/4″ square, too. I put the DSP in landscape position then turned it 90 degrees and put it at the top of my trimer and cut if in half and then cut each of those strips in half to make four. It does not have to be exact just so you have 4 strips relatively the same height. Then adhere the strips on the acetate with no adhesive showing in between the strips where you can see the acetate. Die cut through both pieces with a circle or any other shape you like.

Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side.

I actually left the pink plain on the inside but added a white panel on the Calypso Coral card…and see, I fixed my ink smear on my sentiment by covering it up:)

I walked into my craft room with serious plans on my To Do List…but somehow, this cute stamp set on the shelf caught my eye. And here is what it ended up…

I am sure you realize I used my retired:( Stamparatus to line up the stamps in a fun way. I sure wish we still carried it…it is fantastic to use for this type of stamping often called Hinge Stamping. I even stamped the tires with the hinge stamping! Lifting the hinge and moving it down is so unique. I use other stamp positioning tools I had before ours, and they are so limited.

I played around just stacking pieces of black rectangles to create something inside. Yes, that To Do List is still waiting for me…

See that racer on the right…he is heading to another fun card I am making soon…so check back! Oh, and the sentiment was cut out by a die in the Stampin’ UP! Greetings of the Season Dies an ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. It was so easy to shorten the tag to fit my needs on this card!

Starting tomorrow…
