This card is a little different than most cards I make. I was looking at all the pretty paper from the mini that is retiring. The Joyful Specialty DSP is so dang pretty and I hadn’t used much of it. So, I decided I would use some of each sheet! (I checked today and it’s still available.)

For the tree, I die cut the smaller tree with the Gold Foil. I embossed with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder.

I die cut a Deckled Circle die with Shaded Spruce and embossed it with Merry Melody.

The sentiment is from the Throughout the Year stamp set. I stamped with Versamark on Cherry Cobbler, heat embossed with gold powder and then die cut with the Stylish Shapes.

I glued the pieces of the Joyful DSP on top of a Basic White. (See the measurements below.)

I stamped on the inside of the card with “to you and yours” from the Merriest Trees stamp set with Cherry Cobbler.

I tied a little bow and put it above the sentiment.

Measurements:

Basic White: 8-1/2″ x 7″ Scored at 3-1/2″

Cherry Cobbler: 8-1/4″ x 3-1/4″

Basic White: 8″ x 3″ (You won’t see this one- you glue the Joyful DSP on top)

Joyful DSP: 1-1/2″ x 1″ You’ll need 4 of each sheet- 16 total

This may be one of my favorite cards of all time! I had to take a picture on my pool deck- it is hard to get a good photo of a card with shiny paper!

I have SO many cards to post- and most of them have retiring stuff on them! November is a bit crazy for my family. And, the mini catalog lasted a lot shorter than years before. Not a fan, but that’s what happens!

This card was easy- I die cut the biggest tree from the Merriest Trees dies with the Granny Apple Green foil sheet. I then embossed it with the Distressed Tile 3D folder. I put Dimensionals all over it.

The Distressed Gold paper (5-1/4″ x 4″) was die cut with the Tiny Christmas Trees Dies. I added the Granny Apple Green foil sheet behind it (the same size).

The tree stand (part of the Merriest Trees dies) was die cut with Basic White. I put Wink of Stella all over it.

The sentiment is from the Rocking Horse stamp set. I stamped with Versamark and then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. Die cut it with the Stylish Shapes dies.

Tie a bow and you’re done!
