Hi friends! Happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! It’ll be a long weekend for many of our friends in the US celebrating Independence Day on the 4th! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Birthstone Challenges and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for BSC #4 – Anything Goes with Ruby & Peridot Colors! I pulled out several older Stampin’ Up products and created a split panel Christmas card. The split panel fold is a fun one and I’ve made quite a few of these over the years.
I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and created the split panel feature. Next, I cut layering panels from red glitter paper in the American Crafts Christmas Print 6×6 paper pad. I stamped the trees from the Stampin’ Up Festival of Trees stamp set in Catherine Pooler Green Tea and Memento Lady Bug inks and punched them with the coordinating Stampin’ Up Tree Punch.
I punched stars for the tops of the trees from CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock using the Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Star Punch. I stamped the sentiment (from the same Festival of Trees stamp set) in Green Tea ink and cut it with a My Favorite Things Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strip die. The finishing touch was adding Darice tiny clear gemstones to the trees.
I cut the inside panel from Stampin’ Up winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack and embellished it with a narrow strip cut from the red glitter paper used on the front. I then added another sentiment from the Festival of Trees stamp set cut with a My Favorite Things Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strip die. I have to tell you that I switched to Art Glitter Dries Clear adhesive about six months ago and I’m so stoked that it’s completely invisible under the layer of vellum on the inside of this card!
