🔧 Step-by-Step Card Instructions:
1. Card Base:
Start with a standard A2 card base (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″) in Basic White Thick cardstock.
2. Embossed Background:
Cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Emboss it using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. Then cut this piece on a diagonal and adhere one triangle to the top left corner of the card front.
3. Designer Series Paper:
Add a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of Take a Bow DSP on the opposite corner. This striking pattern brings bold holiday energy!
4. Center Panel & Tree:
Stamp the star background on a 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Basic White using Soft Sea Foam Ink. Heat emboss the tree sentiment from Merriest Trees onto Garden Green cardstock using white embossing powder, then die cut using the coordinating tree die. Pop it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
5. Red Accents:
Add two 2″ x 1″ strips of red DSP to the top and bottom of the white panel to add a pop of brightness and balance.
6. Embellishments:
Finish it off with Earth Tones Shimmer Gems for sparkle and dimension.
