It’s so funny, I just received some of my pre-order products from the new catalog and saw perfect products for this week’s sketch. I used the Welcome Noel Bundle for the trees and the Noel Tidings Stamp Set for the sentiment. These products will be available for purchase starting 9/1/26.
I made this card for the weekly Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge. Here’s the sketch I used. You can see all the projects posted for this week’s challenge by clicking on the sketch below.
Tips & Instructions
Azure Afternoon Card Base - 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score at 4-1/4
Basic White die cut using the 2nd from largest die from the Perennial Postage Dies.
Use a Blending Brush to blend some Azure Afternoon ink on the white layer. Blend in the middle area, not all the way out to the edges. Adhere to the card base.
Stamp the large and small trees from the Welcome Noel Stamp Set on Basic White. I inked up tree images in Granny Apple Green ink and then used a dauber to add some Peaceful Pine ink around the edges. This adds a little interest!
Die cut the trees using the coordinating dies and then adhere them to the card with Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment from the Noel Tidings Stamp Set on a scrap of Basic White in Azure Afternoon ink and fussy cut. Adhere to the card with Dimensionals.
Add some Radiant Gems.
On the inside layer (4 x 5-1/4), stamp the sentiment in Azure Afternoon. Stamp the small tree on on the bottom corner in Granny Apple Green and Peaceful Pine ink.
I love the soft ink-blended background on this card.
Note: The Welcome Noel and Noel Tidings Bundles along with the Radiant Gems are new products from the September-December 2026 Catalog and will be available starting September 1, 2026.
