Making a CASE - Whimsical Trees by Stampin' Up!

Today’s Christmas Cheer card was CASE’d from a creation I shared back in December of 2017 that you can find in my gallery! It uses the same layout but incorporates these current products: Whimsical Trees Stamp Set and the Double Oval Punch. “Copy” means “allow yourself to be influenced by” another paper crafter’s projects. CASE-ing is a great way to be inspired! Focus on an aspect of a creation (sketch, colors, images) that you absolutely love and use it to make something of your own.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:

Begin with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Very Vanilla Thick card stock.

Layer and adhere a 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 piece of Merry Merlot card stock to a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic Black card stock together and to the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Use a Stamparatus to position and stamp the Whimsical Tree Stamp in Versamark Ink onto a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Very Vanilla card stock.

Cover with Black Basic’s Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set with a Heat Tool.

Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla card stock.

Cover with Black Basic’s Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set with a Heat Tool.

Crop the sentiment as well as a piece of Basic Black card stock with the Double Oval Punch.

Adhere together with Stampin’ Seal and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Tie a bow of Black Baker’s Twine Essentials. Adhere as shown with a Mini Glue Dot.

POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish the tree with Matte Decorative Dots.

PERFECT POLISH! Crop a 5 3/4 x 2 1/2 piece of Merry Merlot Neutrals 6×6 Designer Series paper with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) and the curved Basic Borders Die. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere to the outside flap of a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. Trim the envelope flap to size with Paper Snips.
