‘Tis the Season for Gorgeous Greens

There are so many combinations of reds and greens that are perfect for Christmas (so festive, so fun), but I wanted to make a card that features some beautiful greens for Christmas. I reached for the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper in the Annual Catalog to find the perfect inspiration for my green Christmas card. Here’s my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Forever Greenery. While you are snatching up all the great deals during Stampin’ Up!’s Year-end Closeout Sale (and picking up some amazing, retiring papers from the Holiday Catalog in the process), be sure to reach back from some favorites from the 2020 Annual Catalog. One of my favorites is this pack of Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper that created the backdrop for my sweet-and-simple card. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in this grand pack of papers:While the panel I used on my card is not specific to Christmas, it’s perfectly festive, don’t you think? If you would like to flip though the pages of this paper in my online store, click on the picture below:
• Little Tree. When a sentiment has a perfect “shelf” in its design, I can’t help put to put something on the shelf. The flat space above “‘Tis the” in this sentiment almost forced me to add an adorable Christmas tree to the sentiment. Here’s a closer look: Here’s a quick breakdown of this tree-topped sentiment:
  • The sentiment is stamped from the Tag Buffet stamp set, soon to retire.
  • The sentiment and tree are cropped with the Stitched Shapes Dies (the largest square from the dies)
  • The tiny tree is cropped from Garden Green cardstock with a Stitched Triangles Die and popped up with three Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The teeny-tiny star atop the tiny tree is cropped with Soft Sea Foam cardstock with the Stitched Stars Dies (it’s the inside of the tiniest star in the set).
  • The sentiment and tree are balanced on a Garden Green piece of cardstock that was cropped with the Stitched Rectangles Dies.
• Christmas Greens. There are lots of beautiful colors in the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper. I pulled the colors for my card from the background piece I used on this card – Garden Green and Soft Sea Foam are a gorgeous pairing of greens. If you like this combination of Whisper White, Soft Sea Foam and Garden Green as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
