This card took me forever to "think up" but now that I have it down I could mass produce it easily.
First I cut the colored paper in strips. Then cut then each 1/2" different lengths. I have a beautiful birch tree stamp, it has 5 tree trunks (I think). I stamped it then cut one of the trunks out for the Christmas tree. Then I used a die to cut out the back ground. I aged the back ground and patterned paper strips that make the tree.
Next I stamped and embossed the word JOY in white embossing powder then cut it out with a die that also embosses. While it was still in the die I dirtied it up with the same ink I used above. Then I used a different die to cut out the snowflake and used really thick embossing powder on it. Last I put some "bling" in the lower corner because it needed something.
I tell you, it sure it hard thinking up ideas. I got the idea for the tree from a card I had seen a few days ago. I couldn't find it again and I couldn't remember what the rest of the card looked like. It's funny, you sit down to make one card you have an idea for and you end up with a totally different one.
