This card was created using the layout from a card that we created some time back in the summer and was decorated with beautiful sunflowers ( Celebrating Sunflowers Bundle ).
I've had several requests for a tutorial for this Sunflower card, so since it's the Christmas Season I figured why not showcase it with a festive theme.
So this layout is the same only focusing on this beautiful Christmas Tree cut from Lights Aglow Designer Paper using the Twinkling Lights Dies.
This card has a beautiful layout which steps up that focal point on the card front.
The execution is quick & easy... which we all love!!
and it results in a lovely greeting card.
👇 This was the original card :
Don't limit yourself to just this card. Try it with all of your favorite stamp sets and images for any occasion.
Featuring Snow Wonder Stamp Set ☝
If I look back in my files ( that's a bit like pandora's box )... I have some more examples of this card, I believe with the turtle, giraffe and sloth set.. I forgot what it was called.
Anywho... no matter the occasion you are creating this card for , or what stamp set or focal image you are using.. it turns out beautiful!
So here it is...
