Hey there! I've been very busy getting "my ducks in a row" before my daughter has her baby boy, Atreyu. Where she got the name is a story for another day, but as of today she is 41 weeks and 5 days. She has gone over two entire weeks before, and this is baby #six, so we shall see! She will be 42 weeks on the Fourth of July, so maybe we will have a "firecracker baby"?!

Today I have another card to share with you that I created with the Trees for Sale stamp set from the brand-new July/December Mini Catalog that just launched yesterday, and the Tree Lot Dies that I chose as my free gift with a $100 order from the Sale-a-bration Brochure!

I had an idea of what I wanted this card to look like when finished, so I started with an Evening Evergreen card base, then added a layer of Silver Foil Specialty cut 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".

After rubbing the 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Evening Evergreen with the embossing buddy found in the NEW Embossing Editions Tool Kit, I stamped the trees, snowflakes, and greeting with Versamark, sprinkled with Silver Embossing Powder, and then used my Heat Tool to make them all raised and shiny before I embossed the layer with the Cascading Ruffles 3D embossing folder and my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

I cut detailed trees from Evening Evergreen using Tree Lot dies, then adhered over the silver embossed trees with tiny dots of liquid glue.

I turned the layer so the Cascading Ruffles 3D embossing folder gave the card front a look of gently rolling hills. The greeting is from the new Hope & Peace stamp set, also found in the July/December 2022 Mini Catalog on page 40! I added this layer to the card front with dimensionals so I could wrap a 15" length of Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon around it and tie in a pretty knot. I secured the knot with a Mini Glue Dot. I highlighted the greeting with a small Rhinestone on each side.

Inside I added a 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" layer of Smoky Slate card stock, then an embossed Evening Evergreen layer. I finished up the inside with a Basic White 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" layer stamped with another sentiment from Hope & Peace and more tree stamps from the Trees For Sale stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink.
