Combine the glitz and glamor of the Stampin Up! Gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper with the Painted Trees 3D Embossing folder for a stunning “impression!” The rich, evergreen embossed design only needs simple touches from its coordinating “partners” in the Season of Elegance Suite (one of My Favorite Things).
Painted Trees is Part of the Season of Elegance Suite Collection – a must-have!
WHAT I LOVE! The Season of Elegance Specialty Paper is a showstopper from the suite. It combines gold metallic painterly effects with coordinating colors from the suite. I added it to the envelope flap for an elevated presentation.

how to make this painted leaves gold embossed card
- Burnish the fold of the Basic White Thick card base with a Bone Folder.
- Zip the gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper layer through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) tucked inside the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder.
- Adhere to the Cherry Cobbler layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Use a Mini MISTI stamp tool to stamp the sentiment (Peaceful Season stamp set) in Versamark Classic Ink (twice) onto the center of the Cherry Cobbler layer. Watch my 1 Minute to WOW video: The Magic of the Mini MISTI for a quick product demonstration here.
- Cover the sentiment with gold Metallics WOW! Embossing Powder. Tap to remove the excess. Use the putty end of a Take Your Pick Tool to remove any stray pieces of embossing powder. Set with a Heat Tool.
- Crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the coordinating Peaceful Season label die.
- Wrap the gold/Cherry Cobbler layer with Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4 Satin Ribbon, threading through the sentiment label die-cut and securing with a bow on the left side.
- Adhere the sentiment in place with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Adhere the layer to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish with 3 Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots.
- PERFECT POLISH! Adhere the 5 3/4 x 2 1/2 Designer Series Paper to the Basic White Medium envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. PRETTY TIP! Add glue to the flap, not the Designer Series Paper. Flip to the inside of the flap and carefully snip away the excess with Paper Snips. Watch my 1 Minute to WOW Video Tutorial to learn how here.
