It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This week’s theme is “Leaves or Trees”. Perfect time to feature it!
HOLLY JOLLY BRANCHES
I love narrow tree images! This set has some fun sizes to get you into the holiday spirit!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Peaceful Pine cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock was embossed with the Softly Woven Embossing Folder and adhered on top.
- A 2 x 5-1/4 strip of Timeless Christmas green polka dot print was added down the center.
- The oval from Framed Violets Dies was cut from Basic White cardstock.
- The larger scallop oval from Framed Violets Dies was cut from Vellum cardstock.
- The Vellum was stamped with the Holly Jolly Branches snowflake cluster randomly across the front with White Craft Ink. Let dry.
- The three trees were cut with the Holly Jolly Branches Dies from Peaceful Pine cardstock and adhered to the Basic White Oval. The oval was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The stamped vellum was adhered carefully over top, so the adhesive doesn’t show through.
- The Holly Jolly Branches greeting was stamped with Peaceful Pine Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the long label Holly Jolly Branches Die. It was added across the bottom of the oval with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of copper Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems were added to the background.
