I’m having a little fun with Stampin’ Up!’s Iconic Christmas stamp set this morning and decided it would look great on a 6″ x 6″ card base. The larger card required a custom envelope – that’s when I LOVE our handy dandy Envelope Punch Board. One piece of Designer Series Paper and a little adhesive and you have an awesome custom envelope that coordinates perfectly with the card!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

Assembled the card:

- DSP layer glued onto the Whisper White layer
- tree glued onto the DSP layer

Crafted the envelope with the Envelope Punch Board:

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
So fun! That tree must have taken forever! Love your card.
Thanks, Brian! No, it didn’t take much time at all. It was all done in 3 stamps: 1) one stamp for all the little black outlines, 2) one stamp for all the red coloring, 3) one stamp for all the green coloring. Then cutting it out with the Framelits die took just a couple seconds. Boom, done!
