Hi friends! Happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a wonderful week! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the beautiful Christmas Trees 2 stamps and Tree die! There are SO many options for creating pretty projects with these stamps! I chose to do a tone-on-tone mini slimline using the trees to spell out NOEL, and I love how it turned out! I spritzed some Let’s Resin Chameleon Powder mixed with water in a Mini Mister over the white heat embossed trees just to give them a little color!

I cut my go-to 3-1/2″ x 6″ size mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a three-layer die cut frame (using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Tri-Frame Dies) from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Eris cardstock. I reserved the inner portion of one of the frame die cuts to put back into the center when assembling the card front. I stamped one of the trees four times on Eris cardstock and heat embossed them with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder using my Milwaukee Heat Tool.

I spritzed some Let’s Resin grape Chameleon Powder mixed with water in a Ranger Mini Mister over the white heat embossed trees and then once dry added the N-O-E-L letters cut from Eris cardstock using the Waffle Flower Bold Alpha Dies. I adhered the trees to the card front using 1/2″ double-sided foam strips and added several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Sparkling Sapphire Embellishment Mix using my Trinity Pick Up Stick.
