Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. I hope everyone had a great weekend. It was beautiful here in NJ. My windows are all open letting the cool air in at night. As much as I love summer, I really love fall too. I had to work all day on Saturday, but Sunday I was home keeping an eye on the puppy and making sure she didn’t pull out her staples.

I have a quick Christmas card for you today. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Decorative Trees Bundle along with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and Online Exclusive Glimmer Specialty Paper for my card today.

Emboss a Basic White card front using the Snowflake Sky EF. Wrap a piece of Iridescent 1/2″ Striped Trim around the embossed panel and tie a bow. Adhere the embossed panel to a Poppy Parade card base using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Decorative trees Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the panel with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Decorative Trees Dies, cut the dotted tree from a panel of Basic White and the solid tree from a panel of Poppy Parade. Adhere the Basic White dotted tree to the solid Poppy Parade tree. Adhere the tree to the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. from a panel of Glimmer Specialty Paper cut the star using the Decorative Trees Dies. Adhere the star using a Stampin’ Dimensional. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Decorative Trees stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut one of the detailed trees using the Decorative Trees Dies from a panel of Poppy Parade. Adhere the detailed tree to the bottom of the Basic White panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the sentiment from the Decorative Trees stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Snowy Scenes DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try, Happy Stamping!!
