Good Sunday morning. I have a fun project to share with you today that I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. I was inspired by Heidi Baks fun 3D Christmas card found here. Heidi made the most wonderful scored Christmas tree and has a great video tutorial over on her blog, RunningwScissorsStamper showing the simple steps for making it. I was intrigued and had to give it a try.
I usually don’t make much of a fuss about the inside of a card because I put the main focus on the front of the card. This is definitely a switch as the inside of this card is packed with fun. You can see the outside of the card a couple of pictures down.
I followed the step of the of the tutorial, scoring my cardstock, cutting as instructed and inserted inside my card. I cut several stars, scored them down the middle and attached them together at the folds with glossy accents.
Here’s a closer view of the tree and the star.
These are the cutest snowmen ever. I had to take closer views.
I hand cut the little hat to create a different version for the opposite side of the card.
I created a double matted frame and added the reindeer and sleigh to create a simple scene for the card front. I like how this turned out. It definitely will not go in an envelope as it is bulky but it will be a really fun gift card to insert in one of my crystal clear boxes..
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.

What did you use for the gold on the sleigh?
Erica, I’m sorry I failed to mention in my post that I used a versa marker to apply versa to the sleigh and embossed with gold embossing powder. Thanks for asking.
