CAS white and gold Christmas Tree - DT Member: Verity

Hello! So good to be here. It's Verity here from Pretty Little Button with another card for you today. I'm up with another Christmas card today using a beautiful stamp from Colourific. This gorgeous tree full of stamps is so stunning that you hardly have to do anything to the card as it has done all the hard work first! 

CAS white and gold Christmas Tree card details:

Now I created this card using a digital file before the stamp set had reached us. This stamp comes from the Mr & Mrs Snow A5 stamp set. So to foil it, I just printed it off my laser printed and ran the panel through my Minc machine with some hot foil.  But of course, you can create this card with using your stamp and without a laser print. There are a variety of glue pads out there that allow you to stamp your image and then foil this. One example is the glue pad from Brutus Monroe. 

Alternatively, you can also use Bonding powder from WOW! Embossing powder; stamp with clear embossing ink and cover/heat set like regular embossing powder. Then send this through your Minc or laminator with hot foil. One other method is to buy and use sticky embossing powder. I haven't tried this myself yet, but I have heard it works just as well. For another alternative method if you have no hot foils or laminator, just emboss the tree with a selection of metallic embossing powders for the same effect. 

To assemble the card, I die cut the foiled tree with a stitched square die and matted this onto a piece of gold mirri card that was 1/4" larger. This was then foam mounted onto a white card panel 1/2 larger and lastly, the whole panel was foam mounted onto a 6" square kraft card base.

 I hope you love today's card and don't forget to check out the stamp set, link below. If you loved this card please leave a comment below as we would love to hear from you.
