I recently acquired the Merriest Trees Dies and I am excited to make lots of fun cards with them. To start off I went simple – Merriest Trees with simple joy!
I may have been a little over-zealous with the “snow” splatter, lol! but we’ll just pretend it has been snowing for a while!
Easy Directions:
- Start with a base of Thick Basic White Cardstock, 11″x 4-1/4″, folded at the top at 5-1/2″.
- Add a layer of Real Red, 5-1/4″x 4″.
- Stamp “joy” in Real Red ink onto a 5-1/8″x 3-7/8″ piece of Basic White Cardstock. Then run it through the embossing machine with Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder.
- Cut 4 trees with Merriest Trees Dies using Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, and Parakeet Party. Dry emboss these in the embossing machine using Stripe & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder (the splatters one.)
- Splatter the trees with a little white ink and a paintbrush.
- On the Shaded Spruce tree, decorate with the garland die cut from Real Red Cardstock and an Adhesive Sheet that have been fused together. Alternatively, use Glue Dots or tiny drops of liquid glue.
- Crop a star from Gold Glimmer paper. Attach it to the largest tree with a Glue Dot.
- Glue the two largest trees down with liquid glue. Add the decorated Spruce with Dimensionals, then tuck the smallest tree in and glue down with liquid glue.
I love the simplicity of this card! You can go wild with the decorations and presents, etc., but there is something so pretty about this simple design.
Here is the whole die set. It also comes bundled with a stamp set, which I did not use today.
You can read about it HERE.
