PROJECT TUTORIAL:
Begin by burnishing the fold of the Pecan Pie card base with a Bone Folder.
Layer and adhere a Basic White layer to the Designer Series Paper together and to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the Merriest Tree dies to crop a full tree from a Basic White layer. This will be your “canvas” to build the layered tree.
Use a Clear Block E to stamp the full tree image in Granny Apple Green Classic Ink and the tree accents in Old Olive Classic Ink onto a Basic White layer.
Crop the tree sections with the coordinating Merriest Tree dies, starting with the top of the tree (smallest die) first, working your way down to the bottom.
NOTE: Your dies will go beyond the image you are cutting. This saves on ink and card stock.
Starting with the bottom die-cut, adhere the tree canvas (created in step 3) with Stampin’ Dimensionals on the bottom half and Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the top edge. Continue this process until the top piece, which is adhered with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
Use a Clear Block A to stamp the tree trunk in Pecan Pie Classic Ink and the star in Daffodil Delight Classic Ink onto scraps of Basic White card stock.
Crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the coordinating Merriest Tree dies.
Adhere the tree trunk with snipped-to-size Stampin’ Dimensionals and star with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Use a Clear Block G to stamp the sentiment (Merriest Trees Stamp Set) in Balmy Blue Classic Ink onto the Basic White Sentiment piece.
Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Tie a bow of white Baker’s Twine Essentials and adhere tucked under the sentiment as shown with a Mini Glue Dot.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish the tree with Old Olive Ombre Matte Decorative Dots.
