Tree Trimmings

November 4, 2009 By Connie | 3 Comments

I fell in love with Lee Conrey's crimped background, so had to make one for myself. I was so excited that I taught this at my Technique Class last night! It was definitely well received!

You do need a lighter weight cardstock to get the best effect, so Whisper White worked perfectly! I also have an idea for a Very Vanilla card that I may try out today.

I started with a base of Real Red and added a layer of Soft Suede cardstock. I did the Crimper Technique with Whisper White, then trimmed it down to fit with the Soft Suede mat. I felt it needed trimming because the crimping will stretch out the cardstock a little bit.

For the focal piece, I stamped Stampin' Up!'s Tree Trimming stamp in Versamark on Whisper White cardstock, then embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. I layered it on Brushed Gold cardstock. Finally, I added a Real Red 1/4 Grosgrain bow to the top.

I love all the texture that this background has! So much fun!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 22 years and just had my 21st year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
