Did you know you can create your own textured background with dies?
For this card I diecut lots of white Berries and Holly leaves from the Reindeer Fun Dies and adhered these together. Then I added them to a white card mat. It adds a subtle texture.
Here’s how to Create this effect:
Diecut lots of Holly Leaves and Berries from the dies on white card.
Adhere the Holly and Berries together.
Lay all the Holly/Berry pieces out on the white card mat to position them how you like. Have some overhanging the edges.
Adhere them down to the card mat. Turn over the card and trim off the overhanging pieces.
Then complete the card as you like.
I added a strip of Reindeer Days Paper and a strip of the Green Glimmer Paper along with the bells coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I finished it off with a bow from the Real Red and Gold Ribbon.
Try this idea with some dies you have. It takes a little diecutting and sticking together but it is a fun way to use them.
Hope your Christmas Creating is going along well.

What about some projects with this. These are created by Stampin’ Up! artists.
Just a tip with using the Embossing Folder. When you have embossed your card. Try daubering on some ink over the raised trees to give the trees some coloured definition.
The “square” shaped diecuts can be layered together to add directly to the front of the card.
Or layer the other elongated shaped diecuts.
These little Gift card pockets are dressed up with the diecut bows.
What do you think of the Season of Elegance Suite? So much to love.
This week’s card is using the Frosted Forest stamps and masks. You could use this idea with any tree stamp.
This is a Portrait Fold card. That’s what I’m calling it anyway. I’m not sure if it has a particular name. The fold is at the top of the card.
You can follow along with the video below. The full tutorial will be sent out in next week’s newsletter if you are a subscriber. If not check the side bar on my blog.
I have used the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper and some sparkly Glimmer Paper.
I used just one mask in the Frosted Forest mask set. You can add other layers of ink if you would like to.
This is the card.
Embossing the card mat adds some extra texture. I have used the Timber 3D Embossing Folder on this one.
Hope you enjoy it.
