Jolly Christmas Tree - Stampin' Up!® Ornamental Christmas

   It's always fun to take a stamp set in a completely different direction from what may be shown in a catalog or online samples.  I've used the Ornamental Christmas bundle in a bunch of different ways and I love the black and gold look of the Modern Christmas DSP that coordinates with this bundle but I went in the opposite direction with today's card!  It is bright and colorful and gives a more playful vibe in this design!

  I started off with a background of Basic White embossed with the Traditional Wreath embossing folder. Then I created my own striped panel by pulling out some narrow scraps of Berry Burst, Granny Apple Green, Azure Afternoon and adhering them to a panel of Basic White.  I varied the widths in between each strip on purpose so I didn't have to be super precise.  I backed this panel with a piece of Azure Afternoon and wrapped a bit of retired ribbon around it and then popped the whole thing on the card front with dimensionals.

  The tree is stamped in Versamark onto Granny Apple Green then embossed in white.  Once it was die cut I added it to a Stylish Shape circle with dimensionals and added that to the card front.  A smaller circle die cut is used for the sentiment which is stamped in Azure Afternoon.

  Finally I decorated the tree with some retired Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs which worked perfectly as ornaments!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
