Christmas Barn in Aspen Trees

Time to start shifting to Winter/Christmas cards! This card nicely combines 2 stamps/dies that I have previously used, both separately, and both non-holiday! They are the Christmas Barn bundle and the Aspen Tree dies! The background behind the "barn" (which you probably can't see) is our new Vanilla Gimmer Paper. 


Measurements:  

  • Evening Evergreen: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 1/4 sheet
  • Very Vanilla Glimmer Specialty Paper (N): 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
  • Very Vanilla: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 3/4" x 3 3/4", scrap
To Make This Card:
  • Attach Glimmer Paper to folded Evening Evergreen card.
  • Die cut "aspen trees" from Evening Evergreen piece. Set aside.
  • Stamp "barn" onto Very Vanilla piece in Memento Black ink.
  • Color, simply, with Blends. Then, cut out with corresponding die.
  • Also, stamp "tree" and "wreath". Add a little color with Blends and cut out with corresponding dies.
  • Attach "wreath" to barn over top "doors".
  • Arrange onto front of card over glimmer paper. Use the cut "trees" to determine placement.  Lightly mark with pencil.
  • Add a little Wink of Stella to "snow" underneath the "barn".
  • Adhere "barn" and "tree" to glimmer paper.
  • Adhere Foam Adhesive Strips around outside edge of Aspen Trees.  I also curved some into the corners, and cut pieces to fit behind the "trees" so it can't be seen.
  • Remove backing and adhere to card, matching cut edges.
  • Finish with Brushed Metallic Dots.
