Embossed Foil Christmas Trees

Embossing Silver Foil creates such a beautiful, elegant look. I used 3 different embossing folders on the trees and love how they turned out.

 
Embossed Foil Christmas Trees card2.jpg
 

I’ll show you how to use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to emboss three different types of Embossing Folders to make this card.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Night Of Navy Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Whisper White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4, stamp sentiment with Night Of Navy Ink

  • Cut 1 of the second largest Stitched Triangles and 2 of the third largest Stitched Triangles from Silver Foil Sheets.

  • Emboss each triangle using a different Embossing Folder. I used the Tin Tile for the larger and the Wrapped In Texture and Dainty Diamonds for the two smaller triangles.

  • Cut narrow strip from a piece of Brushed Metallic Paper (I used copper) and cut into 3 small pieces for the trunks.

  • Adhere the trunks and trees to the Whisper White layer using Dimensionals on the larger triangle.

  • Cut star from Silver Foil and the detailed star from Night Of Navy and adhere. I used a piece of Adhesive Sheet to back the Night Of Navy so it was easy to adhere to the silver star. Adhere star to card using Dimensional.

On the inside, stamp sentiment with Night Of Navy Ink and star with Daffodil Delight Ink.

Gather Together - Perfect Thanksgiving Card

I wanted to make one last card for Thanksgiving. I used the Gather Together Bundle and Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper to make it.

 
Gather Together Thanksgiving Card2.jpg
 

The great thing about these leaf dies is that they cut and emboss in one pass through the Die Cut and Emboss Machine. I’m not sure the pictures do them justice but the leaves are all embossed.

To A Wild Rose - Blessed and Grateful

This has been a crazy year but there are so many things that I am grateful for. I am blessed to have some very close friends and I made this card for one of them.

 
To A Wild Rose card2.jpg
 

I love the 3 step stamping with the To A Wild Rose set. The flowers have a detailed outline that I stamped in black ink. Then I stamped the next flower that has some design using a color. Lastly I stamped the plain flower stamp using the same color but stamping off first to get a lighter shade. Aren’t they pretty?

 
To A Wild Rose - stamp.jpg
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Basic Black Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Whisper White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4

  • Tip: On scrap paper, stamp each of the flower stamps to determine the right position to stamp them. Using a Sharpie, I put a dot on the back each stamp on the same petal for each one so I can easily line them up.

  • Stamp 2 flowers (detailed, outline stamp) and 3 sets of leaves (detailed, outline stamp) with Black Memento Ink on Whisper White Cardstock.

  • On one of the flowers stamp the next layer with Calypso Coral ink and then the final plain layer with Calypso Coral but stamp off first on a piece of scrap paper to get a lighter shade.

  • Follow the steps above for the other flower using Bumblebee Ink.

  • Stamp the leaves using Just Jade ink, stamping off first to get a lighter shade.

  • Cut flowers and leaves using the coordinating Wild Rose Dies. I cut some of the leaves apart so I could place them where I wanted them behind the flowers.

  • Stamp the sentiment using Black Memento Ink.

  • Adhere the leaves and Calypso Coral flower on the bottom.

  • Adhere the Bumblebee flower using Dimensionals (just in the center of the flower). Adhere leaves behind this flower.

  • Using the Detailed Trio Punch, punch top and bottom right corners. Add Pearl to each.

  • Adhere to card base.

 
To A Wild Rose card1.jpg
 

On the inside stamp sentiment with Black Memento Ink. I love this sentiment! Stamp flower with either color at the bottom corner.

  • Whisper White Layer (pieces will be adhered to this layer) 5 1/8 x 3 7/8

  • Punch a bunch of pieces of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper using the Tailored Tag Punch.

  • Punch sentiment with Tailored Tag Punch.

  • Punch a piece of Pacific Point Cardstock using the Tailored Tag Punch. Cut tag in half and adhere each half behind the sentiment tag to give it a border.

  • Adhere sentiment label over ribbon using Dimensionals.

  • Adhere layer to card base.

  • Add some Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes.

I was so happy that the Merry Moose Bundle came back in the Winter Mini Catalog. I made this rustic Christmas Card for my brother and I know he will love it.

The stamp set can be bundled with a punch that cuts out both the moose images. The sentiments are so fun and the tree images stamp beautifully.
