12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop! Day 7: Stampin Up Festival of Trees side step card



Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop Day 7. This hop will take place November 24th through December 5th and the new postings each day will be posted by 8am eastern standard time. This hop will be full of wonderful ideas and inspiration to get you well on your way of creating all of those beautiful Christmas project. This is an awesome way to get a lot of your Christmas cards, and scrapbook layouts finished, home decorations completed and maybe even be inspired to create something using a new technique that you have never tried. There will be a new project posted each and every day by all the wonderful amazing ladies in this hop. Also each day we will have a guest designer or two for you to visit.

You should have arrived from Pam's blog if not you can start at Lisa's blog or the entire line up at the bottom of the page.

I have another side step card for you today.  I am very enamored with the fold!  Today I did not use any patterned paper. I was having a blast playing with my Vanilla Smooch spray and the Stampin Up Festival of Trees set.  As always I made several versions. I made many more than I am even showing you, which one is your favorite?  My son did not like the ones with the "main" house stamped on white cardstock which made the colors brighter.  I kind of like the effect of having the "one" house being "brighter".  What do you think?  I figured these took over an hour a piece, if you get one of these from me, I LOVE you very much!  


This angle shows the "cloisonne" tree the best.  I stamped it with a different design and color.  Judikin's cloisonne and malachite embossing powders were great for this project.


I used the Kiwi Lane template to create the layers of snow.


This was my son's favorite because the "main" house is stamped on kraft, therefore not as bright.

Stampin Up Festival of Trees and matching punch
Stampin Up Holiday Home and matching Sizzix dies

    These step cards are each so beautiful. I like the bright red roof and bright colors on the house on the last card as my favorite.

    So glad you could join us at Die Cut Divas.
