Lovely As a Tree Christmas Card

This Lovely As a Tree Christmas Card is one of the easiest and most beautiful Christmas cards you could ever make! With Stampin’ Up! having the 15% Off Stamp Sale this week,
October 19 – 23, I would like to encourage you to make sure you have this stamp set, Lovely As a Tree, in your collection. If you have been with Stampin’ Up! for many years, you probably DO own it. But if you are newer, you should know Lovely As a Tree is one of the most classic stamp sets Stampin’ Up! has ever sold! It has been around since 2001, I believe, which is around the time I started stamping. The fact that it is still in the catalog means that it is still very popular and still getting sales. This is a stamp set every stamper should own!

I saw the design of this card way back when I was first a demonstrator. The stamping is so easy on this card. Simply ink up the single evergreen tree and stamp. Then immediately stamp again right next to that tree. Since there is less ink on the stamp, that tree will stamp lighter. Then ink up the stamp again and stamp – and then stamp again without inking up. Continue stamping this way over the Very Vanilla card front until it is filled with trees. Stamp a greeting at the top. I used the greeting from the Wondrous Wreath Photopolymer Stamp Set.

One of everyone’s favorite embellishments back then, and probably still, was Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter. This doesn’t require any thought or expertise! Simply take the 2-Way Glue Pen and scribble on each tree from top to bottom. Shake Dazzling Diamonds Glitter all over the trees on the card front and dump off the excess. You will be amazed at how beautiful your Lovely as a Tree Christmas Card is now!
