Stampin' Up! Whimsical Trees Christmas Card

Good Saturday morning, peeps! Yesterday, I spent the afternoon trying to make a card, rather than going through files, and it was a big fail! It was SO BIG,I can't even tell you about it because you wouldn't even believe it was possible. I had already made the card once before but this time it had another dimension thrown into it. I won't give up though! You'll be the first to know when I succeed! Here's what I did end up making...

I was inspired by my teammate, Akiko Sudano, who created her card on World Card Making Day.

I stamped the tree from the Whimsical Trees Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen on Basic White cardstock and fussy cut it because I don't have the coordinating dies. I embossed a panel of Basic White with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Petal Pink mat. I adhered the layered embossed panel to a Pool Party card base with liquid glue.

I cut a panel of Whimsy and Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper with my trimmer and adhered it to a silver foil mat from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack. I adhered the panel to the card front with liquid glue and adhered the tree to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I cut a silver foil  star with a die from the Christmas Trimmings Dies and adhered it to the tree top with a glue dot. I decorated the tree with Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I stamped the "Joy" sentiment from the Whimsical Trees Stamp Set with Evening Evergreen ink on a scrap of Soft Succulent cardstock and made the banner end with the Banners Pick A Punch. I tucked it under the tree, adhering it a glue dot and finished it with another Holiday rhinestone. I made a bow with Evening Evergreen Open Weave 3/8"  Ribbon and adhered it beneath the tree with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card..

I stamped the sentiment from the Whimsical Trees Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a strip of the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty DSP to the bottom of the Basic White and adhered it to a panel of Petal Pink cardstock. I adhered that panel to the card base.

I'm entering my card in these challenges:

• Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #563
• Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper October 2021 Challenge
• Cut It Up #236 - Pink
• Jingle Belles - I'm Dreaming of a Pink Christmas

I hope I have enough pink showing for the pink challenges. My sister is a breast cancer survivor so October is near and dear to me.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you are having a fantastic weekend so far.
