This is a very easy card using the Merry Minis Punch pack in the Holiday Mini. I started with a 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 card in Whisper White card stock. Stamp your sentiment , I used "Greetings of the Season"and then run the card front thru the Big Shot with the Argyle Embossing folder.
Cut a piece of Whisper White 1 1/2 inches X 4 1/4. I then punched my trees, putting the paper all the way in the punch to keep the trees even. I was a bit off on the side to side spacing but will do better on my next attempt!! =)
Then trim 1/4 inch off below the trees, this centers the trees from top to bottom. Cut a 1 X 4 1/4 inch strip of Snow Festival Designer paper. Cut a Solid card stock strip 1 3/4 X 4 1/4. Adhere the designer paper in the center of the colored card stock. Pop up the white tree strip with stampin' dimensionals over the Designer paper so your trees show thru the punches. Punch a Tree from Red Glimmer paper. Add a glue dot to the Red Glimmer Tree and push the glimmer tree thru the punch out. Simple and easily duplicated for multiple cards!!

A note on Designer series paper. I have been making all kinds of projects using this Snow Festival paper, it goes a LONG way. Don't be afraid to use your paper! Cutting into that first piece is the hardest. But keep in mind using pieces that will use the paper wisely. Examples would be 3X4. You can get 12 pieces this size from one sheet of paper. One inch strips can be used as bands, banners, quilt strips and bargello patterns. All of the paper in the package is double sided, coordinated and interchangeable. Matching paper makes cards go together so much easier! One more card coming using this paper, see you tomorrow!!
Very cute! I like the glitter tree in the middle!
