Welcome back to another Inkin’ Krew blog hop!  Our very talented team is doing a blog hop featuring Stampin’ Up! products.  This month we are all creating projects with a holiday theme and I’m featuring the Whimsical Trees stamp set bundle for my project.

My card design was inspired by the sketch from SugarPea Mix It Up Challenge 85.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White card stock with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered the embossed panel to the Thick Basic White card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut panels of Silver Foil Specialty Pack with the tree die from the Christmas Trees Dies and adhered them to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I adhered a small piece of Adhesive Sheets to the back of a panel of Gold Foil Sheets and then I cut the panel with the star die from the Christmas Trees Dies two times.  I used the Adhesive Sheets to adhere the star die cuts to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Whimsical Trees stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Basic White card stock, sprinkled it with gold embossing powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders pack and then heat embossed it.  I cut the sentiment out with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment and trees from the Whimsical Trees stamp set in Soft Suede and Smoky Slate inks on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
