Tree Angle Winter Card Sample

Today, I’m sharing a Tree Angle Winter Card Sample. Scroll to the end of the post for a how-to video.

Tree Angle Winter Card Sample

As paper crafters, I think we can agree we all love paper — all kinds of paper! It always catches my eye first in the catalog. I especially love Stampin’ Up!’s Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper and the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper. Find them in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.

I wanted to use them both in the same card. I die cut the trees using Stampin’ Up!’s Stitched Triangles Dies

To create a winter scene, I layered the trees on Balmy Blue Card Stock embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. The sentiment comes from the Tree Angle Stamp Set.

In addition, I created my own colored ribbon using the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends and the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding. This works as both a winter and a holiday card.

Be sure to watch this video that shows how the card goes together. Hop over to my YouTube Channel and subscribe. I add one video a week featuring different techniques and cards.
