Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek – Loveliest Tree Thank You Card

Here is one more sneak peek at upcoming products available on May 1! This simple yet elegant card was created using the Loveliest Tree Bundle, Unbounded Love Dies and the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder.

I started off by embossing a white panel using the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder. The panel was positioned in the folder so that the center of the circle falls along the bottom center edge of the panel. The panel was adhered to an Old Olive mat, then adhered to the front of an Early Espresso card front.

The tree image was stamped onto a piece of white cardstock in Old Olive ink. The tree trunk and brances were colored in using Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. For the lightest areas of the tree canopy, I used the light and dark shades of Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends and the dark shade of an Old Olive Stampin’ Blend was used to add shadow areas in the tree canopy then blended using the light shade of an Old Olive Stampin’ Blend. The Thank You sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink onto a piece of white cardstock. The image was cut out using the Loveliest Tree Dies. The tree was then adhered to the bottom center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used one of the small Unbounded Love Dies to cut out the sentiment label. The label was adhered to the upper right corner of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and was adhered over top of a single Linen Thread Bow.

On the inside panel the small leaves were stamped in Old Olive ink onto the upper right and lower left of the panel then the panel was adhered to an Old Olive mat and adhered to the inside of the card.

The same leaf image was stamped several times onto the envelope front and once on the envelope flap to finish up the card.

I love all of the texture that the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder provides to this card…it really highlights the Loveliest Tree image! If you would like to recreate this card you can download, save and print the pdf tutorial by clicking on the image below. Enjoy and have a wonderful day!
