Whimsical Holiday Card with Decorative Trees Bundle: Step-by-Step Guide

I always enjoy creating at least one whimsical card during the holiday season. This year, I decided to use the Decorative Trees Bundle paired with some shimmering Glimmer paper to achieve that playful touch. This combination not only adds a fun and festive element but also offers great versatility, making it perfect for crafting a series of unique and eye-catching cards.

Here’s how to create this whimsical card:

Stamping: Stamp your chosen sentiment in Garden Green ink, then die-cut it using a Label Die.
Trees: Die-cut two trees—one with a pattern and one as an outline—from Garden Green and Granny Apple Green Glimmer papers. Use fine-tip glue to adhere the layers together.
Embossing: Emboss a Granny Apple Green panel with the Birch Embossing Folder for added texture.
Assembly: Attach the stamped label and the trees to your card using Mini Dimensionals to give them a bit of dimension.

And there you have it—a bright and whimsical card ready to share!

You can add versatility to your card in several ways. By using Festive Glimmer Paper along with Garden Green and Granny Apple Green cardstock, you can mix and match layers and colors to create a variety of looks. Additionally, you can explore different tree patterns from the Decorative Trees Dies to further customize your design.

With the Give a Bow DSP, you have the flexibility to choose from a variety of patterns for your 3″ x 3″ square. Each design adds its own charm, so feel free to select any pattern that complements your card beautifully.

Here’s how I decorated the inside of the card: I stamped trees along the bottom edge and added a matching design on the envelope, all in Garden Green. For the sentiment, I used Granny Apple Green ink to keep the look cohesive and vibrant.
