Heart of Christmas: Slimline Forever Forest card

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 2

Today I feature the Forever Forest stamp set & coordinating Forever Forest dies in this fun slimline design.

A Thick Basic White cardbase 20cm x 21cm scored at 10cm. A Basic White layer dry embossed with the So Swirly 3D embossing folder is adhered. A strip of Shy Shamrock card is adhered to a slightly wider strip of Basic Black card, then dry embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhered across the centre.

The label is cut using a die from the Something Fancy dies. After cutting it and before I removed it from the metal die, I placed it on my silicone mat and used the stylus to run around the inside edges to give it the raised border. The snow was stamped in Pool Party ink, before adhering the gorgeous tree die cut in some Shy Shamrock Glimmer paper.  This is adhered to the card on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Trucking Along stamp set is die cut (Something Fancy dies) and adhered on dimensionals. The ribbon is coloured with the Light Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends Marker, tied in a bow and added on a Glue Dot.

  1. Such a lovely crisp looking card Kate. The tree in the Shy Shamrock glimmer paper is the stand out feature. Your choice of swirly background is perfect.

  2. I love how bright and festive Shy Shamrock is, for Christmas. That glimmery Christmas tree is an outstanding feature of your card front, Kate! Great, crisp, colour combo, and beautifully composed card.

  3. Wow, Kate, that bright green (especially the glimmer paper) and the black look so striking against the white! This is such a striking, vibrant and modern Christmas card.
