Hey Everyone!
Another Fantastic sketch from the operators at stamping 411. This is a wonderful sketch that lends itself to making elegant cards in a hurry.
When you go to lay this out it may be a little confusing (at least it was for some of my stamping club members.
When building the layer behind the christmas tree. I laid the red layer down (on the diamond) then laid the flock on the square, and laid the white piece again on the diamond. I stamped my image on the diamond shape.
Here are the measurements.
Layer 1: 11 x 4 1/4”
Layer 2: 4 x 5 ¼”
Layer 3: 2 ½” square
Layer 4: 2 ½” square
Layer 5: 2 ¼” square
Layer 6: ¾” cardstock (from scraps) for the paper banner.
Directions for this card:
Step 1: Stamp your Merry Christmas on the ¾” piece of scrap whisper white
Step 2: Stamp the Christmas tree (taking care to do it on an angle) with real red on whisper white 2 ¼” square piece of cardstock.
Step 3: Add glitter with a 2- way glue pen.
Step 4: using the finial press die, emboss your second layer to add depth.
Step 5: assemble your card with adhesive and the merry Christmas banner using dimensionals.

Hi there Selene!
I know it's been a while since I spoke 2 u about Stampin' up not being here in Sweden.
I think it's about time Sweden discovered the benefits of Stampin' up.
I just love the way u combine stamps, punches, papers and colouring pens.
Could u find out if it's at all possible 4 us in Sweden 2 start demonstrating your lovely products. Perhaps I could b the first "lady" doing so... :-).
This card is so striking!! I love the red and white together.
