Simple Merry Mini Punches

A few days ago I made a blue and white Christmas card using the Stampin’ Up! merry mini punches. I bought these punches earlier in the year intending to make cards with a bunch of little trees. Finally I got around to it.

Stampin' Up! Merry Mini Punches

I used the same method as before – I punched out a tree in the middle of the piece of whisper white and then did the outside trees by putting the edge of the punch at the edge of the previously punched tree and punching again. I put a piece of gold foil paper under the last tree (yes, it really is gold although it looks brown in the photo). I then took the Merry & bright sentiment from the Good Greetings set and stamped that in the middle of the four green trees in garden green. The card didn’t look as balanced as I expected – I had thought that the gold tree would balance the sentiment so I added a rhinestone coloured with the medium cherry cobbler blendability.

To make the envelope coordinate, I ran it through the big shot with the flap in the On Point textured impressions embossing folder.

    I like the text/sentiment on this card. I also like how you have varied the trees with the rhinestone and gold (although, yes, the last tree does look a little dehydrated in the photo!). Nice!
