More Embossing on Glimmer Paper

So, our CEO, Sarah, showed a few other ideas using this technique, on our cute Notecards! I decided to follow suit! I think they are really cute! I used the neat So Very Merry set in the Online Store, and Merriest Trees returning from last season in the Annual Catalog! These would make nice notecards or thank yous!

Embossing on Glimmer Paper - Decorative Trees

Sara Douglass, our CEO, shares some fun things every Tuesday afternoon! If you haven't watched her, she really has some fun things to share! A couple of weeks ago, she demonstrated heat embossing on Glimmer (glitter) Paper! She used the Decorative Trees, shown here, and did another sample as well. This is so new, that I had to come up with my own card, as I was not finding any inspiration on any other websites! So, enjoy this full card version using the Festive Glimmer Paper in the new mini catalog, along with DSP from the Seasons of Green and Gold DSP in the Online Store.

Measurements:

Thick White: 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5", 1 1/4" x 4" ("Christmas"), 3/8" x 2" ("Merry")
Old Olive: 4" x 5 1/4", 1 1/4" x 4" ("Christmas"), scrap
Real Red: 1 7/8" x 5"
Festive Glimmer Paper (N): 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" (lt green)
Seasons of Green & Gold DSP (N): 1 7/8" x 5" (green plaid)
Adhesive Sheet: 1 1/4" x 4" (white "Christmas")
Gold foil: small scrap

To Make This Card:

Attach Old Olive layer to folded White card.
Run Basic White layer through Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. Attach to card front.
Adhere plaid DSP to Real Red piece, then add to card as shown.
Die cut tree from Glimmer Paper.
Stamp and emboss "tree" in White Embossing Powder. Cool, huh!
Die cut larger "Christmas" from Old Olive.
Attach adhesive sheet to White piece for words. Die cut with more detailed "Christmas". Peel back adhesive and attach to Old Olive layer.
Now, attach this to card, as shown.

Trio of Decorative Trees

This is a version of the card from the Mini Catalog using the Decorative Trees bundle! It combines cardstock and glimmer paper with gold foil decorations to make a beautiful card. I made mine a little less "rustic" by putting the trees on a base with gold flecks from the Seasons of Green and Gold DSP in the Online Store. The results are just stunning, and so much fun to do!

Measurements:

Very Vanilla: 1/2 sheet
Garden Green: 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" (plaid tree)
Old Olive: 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" (stamped tree base & trimmed scroll tree base)
Pecan Pie: small scraps
Festive Glimmer Paper (N): 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" (lg base), 2 1/8" x 3" (scroll) (lt green)
Seasons of Green & Gold DSP (N): 3 3/4" x 5" (Vanilla fleck)
Adhesive Sheet: 2 1/8" x 3" (scroll), 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" (plaid tree), 2" x 2 1/4" (details)
Gold foil: 2" x 2 1/4"

To Make This Card:

Attach Garden Green layer to folded Vanilla card.
Then, add the DSP layer.
First, we'll die cut all the basic tree pieces, and then assemble them!
Cut 1 tree base from lt green (Granny Apple Green) Glimmer Paper, and one from Old Olive cardstock (we'll cut the other one after we stamp)
Place adhesive sheet on the back of the Garden Green cardstock, then cut out with the "plaid tree die". Peel off back, and attach to the Lt Green Glimmer tree.
Place adhesive sheet on the back of the small Glimmer piece, the die cut with scroll die.
Before attaching the "Glimmer Scroll" to the tree, take the Old Olive tree base and burnish in some Garden Green ink, with a Blending Brush, to the bottom of the tree, leaving the top the true color. Set aside to dry.
I used my Stamparatus for the stamped tree. Take the piece of cardstock and stamp the outline in Garden Green ink, then stamp the "sprigs". Remove from the Stamparatus, and die cut with corresponding die.
Now, we'll die cut all the decorations. Place the adhesive sheet on the back of the Gold Foil piece. Die cut the 3 ornaments and 4 garlands. Set aside.
Die cut 3 "trunks" from Pecan Pie cardstock.
Ok. Now we're ready to assemble!
You can now attach the scroll to the burnished tree. Notice the tree is bigger than the "scroll". You'll need to trim off the excess. Now you have a smaller tree! Add trunk to the bottom. (I used a narrow strip of Tear n Tape.
Decorate the stamped tree with the "garland" as shown. Also, add a trunk to the bottom of this tree. (You may need to adjust it later.)
Attach a trunk to the "plaid" tree.
Next I arranged the trees onto the card front, so that the "scroll" tree ends up in the center of the card, and popped up with Dimensionals.
Now, you can add the "ornaments" to the "plaid" tree. I also added the new Drusy Embellishments to the ornaments and a smaller one to the top of the tree.
