Island Indigo Christmas

This Beautiful Blue tones Christmas card uses my FAVORITE Tree set ever....."Evergreen".  If you did not purchase this set last year, you're in luck, it is on the carryover list!  This stamp set can look oh so natural or elegant!  Paired with our Winter Frost Designer paper and Silver ribbon this makes a very Elegant card!  I will be posting Elegant cards for the next few days.




This card starts with a Whisper White card base and an Island Indigo mat.  The mat is embossed with the Stylish Stripes embossing folder.  The Tree was stamped in Smoky Slate.  Silent Night wording in Island Indigo.  Ink your stamp really good so it makes the gray fade into the background.  The Tree is then cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits.  Cut a 2 inch strip of the Designer paper and crop the bottom piece with the same Framelit.  Adhere and tie a bow over the seam with the Silver ribbon.  Another carryover item Merry Minis punch pack provides the star punched from Silver Glimmer paper

  1. Did you stamp on the white base card and then cut the framelit and emboss? Or what did you do/make with the indigo cutout frame? another card coming from the cutout? It really turned out pretty.

    1. The Tree is not embossed. Stamped the Smoky Slate, then the Island Indigo words. The cut out with the framelit. Took a 2 inch strip of the patterned paper and cut the bottom piece to put on the White below the tree. The mat is a full piece of Island Indigo, no cutouts.
