I was excited to create these holiday cards this year with the Evergreen Tree Border Punch when I saw that half the patterns in the 2022-24 In Color designer paper looked like snow falling and the other half would work as the ground. Plus those colors are perfect for this festive season…red, green and three different blues! I couldn’t share these cards earlier because these were the ones I sent out to those in my Stampers With ART Community. Hopefully everyone in my group has received theirs by now. I’m also crossing my fingers that I sent each person a color they love.
Now…I love them all! But I personally think that ALL the colors in this collection are amazing. These cards feature Sweet Sorbet paired with Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, Orchid Oasis paired with Starry Sky Cardstock, Starry Sky paired with Highland Heather Cardstock, Tahitian Tide paired with Pacific Point Cardstock, and Parakeet Party paired with Garden Green Cardstock.
Products I used… See below for a list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements for each card…
- Base Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2”
- Scrap for punching a set of trees
- 2022-24 In Color Designer Paper
- 2” x 3” with snow pattern
- 2″ x 3″ with striped pattern
- Basic White Cardstock
- (2) 3-1/8″ x 4-1/4”
- 1-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
- Scrap for punching a set of trees
- White Glittered Organdy Ribbon
- 12″
Directions
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ white piece.
- Emboss one of the large white pieces. Add the designer paper to the other one so you form a 1/16″ border along all four sides. Don’t worry about the space between the designer paper layers. This will create the image of a snowy ground and can be thick or thin.
- Punch a set of four trees from the colored cardstock and the white cardstock. Glue them to the designer paper layered piece so they are right justified. Tie on the ribbon around the bottom half with the knot positioned off to the left. Angle trim the ends.
- Fold the card base piece to form a z-fold. Add the embossed white layer about 1/8″ from the bottom. Add the sentiment piece in the middle of the embossed piece using Dimensionals.
- Fold the card base shut and add the tree/designer paper layer so it sits in the the middle of the folded shut card (remember to add the adhesive only to the upper side of the back).
- Finish by adding embellishments (stars, snowflakes or anything shiny and flat). I used the Adhesive Backed Stars but these have already sold out from the departing July-December 2022 Mini Catalog in the US.
Not only are these z-fold cards, but they can prop up as easel cards, too!
I used the In Color Markers to sign the cards, too. I love that everything coordinates! Of course, coordination is one of the beautiful things about Stampin’ Up! products.
