Whimsical Trees Bundle and Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Paper by Stampin’ Up! give a totally different look to our more traditional Christmas trees and colours. In Whimsy & Wonder Paper we have pinks, blues and soft greens, highlighted with iridescent foil; they are indeed whimsical, as are the magical Christmas trees. We are pairing these products with Blushing Bride Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon, another product from Whimsy & Wonder Suite. All of these items are available in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalogue.

Whimsical Trees Card with Whimsy & Wonder SDSP and Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder
We are using Whimsical Trees Bundle, paired with Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper, Blushing Bride Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon (all on Page 25 of the Mini Catalogue) and Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder MC- P42) to highlight and provide a textured contrast to the iridescent foiled Whimsy & Wonder Paper. The little stars are die cut from Be Dazzling Specialty Paper. It is one the FREE Sale-a-Bration products (with qualifying order).
This design is perfect for our Online and Click & Collect class as well as In person, when we can get together.
The paper is a stand-out and perfect for our classes and making cards There are heaps of possibilities; from beginner to avid crafter. We have used the Paper, its images and fresh colours for the card front and to highlight the insert. Many of the images can be die cut. However, in this card, the trees are die cut from the reverse side of the paper to add contrast to the ‘circle’ of DSP trees. We are using two Layering Circles to frame our trees.
Here is an alternate idea for the card. I cut one of the trees from the DSP, paired it with the Whimsical die cut trees, and adhered these to a White circle. You might like to choose a tree from your DSP Tree circle to fussy cut. I’ve included another White circle in your kit, in case you want to try this.
Here is the inside of the card. It is quite a simple design. I’ve used the Foliage stamp, a pretty greeting and a strip of SDSP and few swooshes with Wink of Stella!
