I generally tend to go with shades of red and green for Christmas cards, but something about the Christmas tree in the Snow is Glistening stamp set made me think retro and this is the card I came up with.
Today’s Color Combo
I created this z-fold card by starting out with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock which I scored at 4-1/4″ from one end and 2-1/8″ from the other. The front flap is a 2-1/2″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White layered on a 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Bermuda Bay. I stamped the tree in Lemon Lime Twist and cut it out by hand before sponging the edges of the tree with more Lemon Lime Twist. Next I added small strips of ribbon to give it a cohesive look, then I popped this off the front panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The “ornaments” on the tree are Pearl Jewels that I colored with the blunt end of the Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends. I also colored the rhinestone in the center of the Snowflake Trinket that adorns the top of the tree. I attached it with a glue dot. The pretty sentiment and the snowflakes on the inside panel are also from the Snow is Glistening stamp set.
Both the Snow is Glistening stamp set and the Snowflake Trinkets are part of the limited time offering of the Snowflake Showcase products. They’re available only while supplies last through November 30th.

Thank you Vicky, it’s kind of cool to see something unexpected isn’t it?
