If you know me, then you know I have a love for all things Pine and Redwood. The redwood tree is actually my personal mascot. So this stamp set is SO me! And as you get to know me more through my blog, you’ll learn that one thing I love is two-step stamping. What’s better than two images that create depth and detail into one! I love it – I don’t have to color or do anything snazzy to make my project look great.
Today I’m featuring this great Christmas card by Aleida Abreu, guest stamper and team member of my Creative Crew. I love Aleida’s sense of Clean and Simple style in this Evergreen beauty. It’s elegant and really pops. Best yet – you could easily mass produce these for your Christmas cards!
Here Aleida used the new Evergreen stamp set from the Holiday Catalog and combined it with some of our Big Shot accessories – the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder and Apothecary Accents Framelits. Here are a few tips and details on what she did to make this card pop.
Creative Tips:
- To give the card a little elegance, Aleida used the script greeting from the Greetings of the Season set in the Holiday Catalog. Click here for the Holiday Catalog
- She embossed the greeting with our Gold Embossing Powder on Always Artichoke and popped it up using our Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Sometimes a project just needs that little something, try adding a few of our Brads! Here you see that Aleida chose to add the gold ones from our Metallic Brads collection – it’s the perfect touch and you get 30 each of four colors.
- To add the finishing touch to her card, she used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack to pierce around the Apothecary Framelit.
- Here I duplicated her card and just substituted the lined image for the tree as opposed to the script writing option. I just love the options in this set.
I think you’ll find that you have several options and ways that you can use this versatile stamp set. I love the little star in it and the fact that it has a saying for the inside of your Christmas cards. Enjoy playing with it!
