Greetings!
It's another day for a lovely fall/winter holiday tree card. I love trees in every season and when it comes to winter, evergreens seem to evoke a feeling of comfort and strength. Stampin' Up! always does a beautiful job of having a wonderful variety to choose from, and the Peaceful Evergreens stamp and die bundle is a gorgeous set. This bundle is part of the large Season of Elegance Suite Collection, which also includes the Peaceful Season stamp set used for the sentiment.
For today's card, my inspiration came from a sample on page 51 in the Sept-Dec mini catalog. I love the layout for it's simplicity and peaceful feeling.
Notice the subtlety of the embossed trees behind the stamped and die cut trees? The embossed trees add a lovely layer of dimension and the woodgrain print continues the woodsy feel of this card. I modified the card from the sample in the catalog by using a neutral woodgrain print from the Country Woods Designer Series Papers (DSP) and opted for Crumb Cake as the color for the sentiment label.
Whether you make a card just like the sample you see, or put your own personal spin on it, remember to have fun and enjoy the process. Your enjoyment in the creativity makes it that much more special for the recipient when they open it up and feel the love you put into it.
