'Tis the Season for Whimsy & Wonder

Greetings!

Today's card features adorable die cut trees and festive ornaments from the Whimsical Trees Bundle  and fabulous papers from the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Papers, all of which are part of the Whimsy & Wonder Suite.  This suite is perfectly named with the playful style of the trees paired with lovely sentiments and gorgeous papers accented with silver.  

Enjoy the magic of the season

Look at the gorgeous tall tree!  How fun! So ingenious to have a die for beautiful "tinsel" to decorate it from tip to bottom.  The ornament's die cuts out eight ornaments at a time making it so easy to decorate your tree and aren't those tall skinny trees adorable! 
The beautiful pine boughs embossed section with ornaments makes this card feel like you're seeing a close-up of the decorated tree.

Here's How It's Made:
Die cut trees.  Adhere adhesive sheet to back side of Silver Foil and die cut "tinsel".  Carefully remove adhesive backing and adhere to large die cut tree. The Take Your Pick Tool makes removing the backing from the adhesive easy by using the pick tip to slide under an edge and release so you can pull it off.  
Adhesive sheets make attaching detailed die cuts much easier! This two sided adhesive keeps your projects free of messy glues and sticky fingers.
Emboss the Pool Party diagonal cardstock piece with the pine boughs from the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder.
Ink ornament trio stamp with VersaMark® Ink, sprinkle Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder onto stamped image, shake off excess. Set embossing powder with Heat Tool.  
To color ornaments, brush tip of fine tipped Water Painter onto ink pad and brush onto ornament.  Clean brush tip of any color residue, and repeat for other two colors.  Ornaments are colored with Polished Pink, Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron ink colors.  Set aside to dry.


Ink "'Tis the Seasonstamp with Mossy Meadow.  Stamp onto Basic White cardstock.  Fussy cut around edge with Paper Snips.
Adhere embossed Pool Party cardstock piece to card front, leaving a border of 1/8" at right edge, top and bottom.  Adhere long strip of Designer Series Paper to underside of diagonal edge of Basic White cardstock, leaving 1/4" extending beyond edge, making sure top and bottom of strip extend off the ends.  Trim excess of strip even with top and bottom of cardstock.  Adhere assembled piece to card front, leaving a 1/8" border on left edge and top and bottom.  This piece will overlap the embossed Pool Party piece.
