I love this clean simple card with Welcoming Woods. They look like the trunks of Silver Birch trees. I’m no Arborist, so if anyone knows what these are, leave me a comment and enlighten me!
Free Sale-a-bration papers
There’s a pack of Peaceful Prints 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper which is free subject to a qualifying order which I used for this card. On one of the sheets, there is a design that looks like the bark of a silver birch tree. I love that all the patterned papers Stampin’ Up! offers always gives you an option to use the reverse side for alternative occasions. On one side of Peaceful Prints, it’s Christmas oriented. However, on the back you have different patterns which are not.
Adding a Greeting
If you have a scene or image which is too pretty to cover up, use Vellum card stock. Did you know that you can emboss any colour on to your project by using Clear embossing powder? First stamp in the desired ink colour, clean the stamp, and then stamp again in Versamark ink. I would recommend using a stamp positioning tool to do this so that you don’t smudge your work. Sprinkle clear embossing powder over the greeting then heat emboss. You can just about make it out in the photo above.
How to attach Vellum
Vellum is opaque and you can see adhesive marks, tape etc behind it. Here’s a neat trick. Most certainly, you’d want to attach some kind of embellishment to enhance your project. Hide the glue dot behind the embellishment and you won’t even detect that a glue dot’s behind it!
Inside card
I try to keep the inside simple with minimal stamping. You can mimic part of the stamping on the front for the inside. By omitting any stamped sentiments on the inside, you can customise the card to suit the person and the occasion as and when required.
Without further ado, press play and see how this all came together.
