Time Sensitive Announcement… Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Sale Starts tomorrow!!!
Have you thought about this? You can use a large cardfront sized background stamp but not use the whole image?? That’s what I did, I used one of the large Deckled Circle dies (about 4″ diameter) and die cut the large background image to use on my card!! This Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Forest background stamp is beautiful, it’s very detailed and stamps beautifully!!!
I inked the entire forest background with Old Olive ink then used a Blending Brush to dab on some Granny Apple Green ink before stamping. That gives it a pretty two-toned effect.
Don’t miss the “snow” effect I created with Whisper White Craft ink refill and Wink of Stella (see below).
When you dip the Wink of Stella brush into the white craft ink puddle, swirl it around, and then flick it onto the stamped trees!! It takes a bit to dry since it’s craft ink, but so pretty when it’s done!
Below: check out the tip I have for you with the Silver-Threaded twine! I pulled apart the thick twine and used about 3 strands to tie the knot around my twine on the card.
All of these supplies from Stampin’ UP! are available in my online store – please click any of the product photos below to go right to my online Stampin’ Up! store 24/7. I truly appreciate your orders and support of my business!
Did you notice the pretty background on this card? I used 2 patterns from the One Horse Open Sleigh paper pack!!
Happy Holidays is found in the “Throughout the Year” stamp set found on page 61 of the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog. I am stumped about what set I got the die cut from.. it was in my die cut stash… apologies if it is retired and I didn’t realize it!.

It’s snowing in the forest!!! I love it! Thank you so much Patty!
Great tips, Patty! Enjoy your day!
You never disappoint with your creations & hints. As soon as I saw this card I began thinking of everyone I could send it to. It is great for business “friends” that you’re not sure what Holiday they celebrate. TFS
I love your tips. Most recently the idea of mixing white ink with Wink of Stella. Lovely embellishment.
This is a beautiful card! Thanks for the tip about making snow. It really brings the tree to life.
