One of the new bundles that caught my eye from the September to December 2023 Mini Catalogue (It launches September 6th. Request a catalogue here), was the Merriest Trees Bundle. I think that it has amazing versatility. It's going to look great with traditional colours and with fun vibrant colours like I used this week from the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper. You can start simple with just stamping or take it up a few notches by adding in all the fun details and layers.
*All the dimensions and instructions can be found in the video replay below.
These 2 cards I created for you this week can help you get started using this bundle yourself. I recommend starting simple and getting a feel for a new stamp set. Try stamping all the images and play around a bit until you get comfortable. On this first card, I focused on the tree itself without adding in too many extra layers.
Then I wanted to play around with what the dies could do. With focusing on one tree, I added in few more of the details like the star, ornaments, presents and tree collar. I also loved adding in the two-step stamping on the tree itself to add a little more interest.
Lastly, I wanted to share how to make the tree 3D on a Christmas Gift Tag. If you stamp the tree 5 times, you can then cut out each layer with the coordinating die. Start with the full size tree and then add on each layer to get this fun 3D effect! I also love how this tree looks with the garland.
Here are the names and item numbers of the main products used so that you can put them on your wish list and enjoy recreating this card too:
