Good Tuesday morning everyone and welcome to another edition of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew team blog hop!  Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is “Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays”.  We can interpret this any way we want – so be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a group of very talented ladies hopping with us this month!

For my card today I used the Snow Is Glistening stamp set that is only available until November 30th.  Take a look.

I started with a panel of Vellum cardstock and stamped the tree from Snow Is Glistening stamp set in Versamark Ink.  I sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool.  I adhered the Velum panel to a Gold Foil Sheet mat using Glue Dots. I added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels all over the tree to decorate it.

Using my Big Shot, I cut out the Merry from Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies and 2 of the smallest snowflakes from Snowfall Thinlits Dies from a Gold Foil Sheet.  I adhered the Merry across the tree using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the snowflakes to the top of the tree using Glue Dots.  Using my Big Shot again, I ran a Real Red card front through using my Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I adhered the artwork to the Real Red card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped Christmas from the Merry Christmas To All stamp set in Real Red Ink on a piece of Gold Metallic-Edged Ribbon.  I wrapped the ribbon around the card front and tied a bow.  I adhered the card front to a Thick Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from Merry Christmas To All stamp set in Real Red Ink.  I stamped one of the scrolls under the sentiment in Real Red Ink.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Real Red mat using Snail and then adhered it to the Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card off I stamped the tree from Snow Is Glistening stamp set in Real Red Ink on the front left of a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.
