Have you started your Christmas cards yet? If not, then hopefully this new release from Catherine Pooler Designs will help inspire you to create. I used the new fabulous ‘Jolly Trees’ stamp and die set to create a winter forest of Christmas trees and paired it with some Nuvo Drops to create a fun winter scene. For added interest and shine, Some of the trees were heat embossed give extra texture as well.

Creating the forest of Christmas Trees
Start off by stamping a selection of the trees in various green inks. For this card, I used Lime Rickey, Grass Skirt and the new green ink ‘Deck the Halls’ After you have stamped a selection of trees, use the coordinating dies to die-cut the trees out. As we have not stamped the stamp, just use a piece of scissors to snip this off the die-cut.
For added interest and texture, stamp a few additional trees ink embossing ink and cover with WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Pale embossing powder. Once heat-set, die-cut these out with the coordinating dies.
Assembling the card
Before we assemble the card, use an ink blending tool to blend Suede Shoes and Something Borrow ink onto the middle of a square card panel measuring at 5.75″x5.75.
Adhere the trees to the front of the card panel using foam pads to add depth and dimension. For the sentiment, heat embossed in gold ‘Merry Christmas’ from the stamp set. To colour the card to match the trees, take the ‘Deck The Halls’ ink pad and swipe over the card to transfer the ink. Trim this down and foam mount onto the card.
To finish the card off, add Tonic Nuvo White Gloss Drops to above the trees to appear as falling snow.
