Monochromatic Shaded Spruce - Sentimental Christmas

Hi friends, Thanks for stopping by Stamping Flair this weekend as I share with you my creation for the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop. I’ve used the vintage Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper in abundance on my card today as we feature Shaded Spruce.

The back panel of white was embossed with the Painted Trees embossing folder. I just love the beautiful texture this folder provides. On top of this I added 2 panels of the striped Designer Series Paper. For this sketch, I had the bottom strip of paper wider than the top, adding a thin strip of Basic Beige as a border agains it.

To further make the bottom panel a little different, I also added a strip of White Cardstock die cut using the Everyday Details dies. This particular die is designed to cut into the cardstock and doesn’t actually have an outer border. Die cutting strips of Cardstock with it will give you a lovely detailed panel.

I fussy cut the trees from the Designer Series Paper and couldn’t resist the deer which were on another sheet, so they got to rest amongst the trees.

The sentiment was stamped on die cut label from the Nested Essentials dies which I shortened by running through the die cutting machine a second time. Snowflakes dotted with gems were added to complete the scene.

Please consider adding the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper to your next order. For every purchase of this paper, Stampin’ Up! will donate $4.25 towards Children’s Literacy.
