How to make a Plaid Christmas Tree Card

How to make a Plaid Christmas Tree Card – Perfectly Plaid – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Yes, this is another Christmas card but I am going to need plenty for not just me to send but for my mother to send as well. This card was made using up my scraps of Plaid Tidings designer series paper. I love being able to use my scraps and still make something pretty.

The cardbase is Pretty Peacock. I wasn’t overly fond of this colour when it came out but it is growing on me and I am starting to really like it. The combination of Pretty Peacock and Shaded Spruce in this designer series paper is beautiful and a combination I would never have thought of. I’m sold now on it.

Inlaid Punch Technique – Christmas Card Tutorial

I have a very simple but very effective technique to share with you today. I’ve used the technique of inlaid die cutting but with a punch instead. Wrapped in Plaid must be my most used Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the whole catalogue. I love it!! I’ve used scraps here to make this great card.

The cherry cobbler and shaded spruce are very traditional Christmas Colours. The white of the trees really makes them pop on this card. I should warn you, that you can not punch out the trees and use the reverse of the image as these trees are not symmetrical. You will need to punch the trees again from scrap cardstock. I then used liquid glue to inlay the trees into the punched “holes”. Don’t through out the first punched trees as you can use them on another card, that I will link below.

I love simple and easy projects such as this as time can be at a premium and it’s great to still be able to give that a handmade card.

Wrapped in Plaid Punched Trees Card

I have another Christmas card to share with you today. This one is super easy and quick to make, using the Wrapped in Plaid DSP. I am glad that Stampin’ Up! is still investing in new punches even though the trend for dies has taken off. Punches make crafting quick and allow crafting away from home.

I love this new tree punch. It has a matching stamp set and they are sold as a bundle for a saving of 10%. The paper I’ve used is the Wrapped in Plaid designer series paper (DSP). This DSP is one of the 6″ X 6″ pads. It has foiled elements on one side and simple patterns on the other. It is a great stack of paper to make cards well as mini albums.

As the Wrapped in Plaid DSP has gold foil elements I decided to heat emboss the sentiment in gold to match. My favourite element, however, is the holiday rhinestones. They twinkle across the card like fairy lights. I am definitely going to buy another pack of them.
