Lots of Gold...

 Here is a card where we used lots of gold embossing.  Do you have trouble hiding adhesive when attaching vellum to your project?  This card uses the "hide behind the next layer" technique.  The dimensionals on the back of the vellum to attach it to the Gold Foil are placed behind where the embossed trees are and at the top where the Gold satin ribbon hides them.  If you didn't want the vellum raised on dimensionals, use glue dots behind the pine cones!

Silent Night....

 These trees were one of the first things that I fell in love with when I saw the Holiday Catalog back in July.  Being from California and having a drought for the past several years, I miss snow filled winters in the mountains and the stillness you feel up in the trees.  That is the way that this stamp set feels to me.

Remember, you don't always have to align your sentiments straight.  Because the trees are weighted on the left side, I balanced the card by stamping a portion of the sentiment more to the right.

Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalog - Wonderland...

 

Have you got your catalog?  Is this one of your favorite sets?  It is one of mine.  This card was inspired by a card made by Linda Higgins.  Of course, I changed it up a bit because that's just me!  For this card, you need to break out your purples - yes, all of them!  We used Wisteria Wonder at the tops of the trees, Perfect Plum just below that, Elegant Eggplant below there and finally Blackberry Bliss at the bottom!  I just love the effect that the colors give it.  Of course, if you are in California right now, this card in yellows, oranges and reds of forest fires would work!  Keep your rain dances going - we need it here!

Here is the inside of the card.  Make sure to use the new Basic Black Archival ink or Memento ink for the trees and not StazOn because StazOn doesn't work as well for the stamping off effect.
