Evergreen Forest Makes A Lovely Background

Hi Stamping Friends!

Today I have a couple of lovely swap cards featuring the beautiful Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folders. This one is a must-have for any stamping collection because it's perfect for the holiday season and beyond.

But first, a couple of holiday house-keeping notes…

Swap card created by Selene Kempton.

Evergreen Forest Hark The Herald Angels Card

The Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder provides an elegant backdrop for both simple cards and those with many layers! Selene Kempton created this simple & stunning card with beautiful Old Olive and gold accents! So easy to duplicate and so lovely!

Background Basics—Selene embossed a 5" x 3-3/4" piece of Whisper White with the Evergreen Forest folder and mounted it onto a 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" Old Olive layer. It's mounted onto a Thick Whisper White card base.

Sweet Sentiment—Selene stamped a For Unto Us greeting in VersaMark ink onto a Whisper White Stitched Shapes circle and heat embossed it with Gold Embossing Powder. It's popped up with Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches—The circle was accented with an All The Trimmings Old Olive bow attached with a Glue Dot. This ribbon is so pretty…shiny satin edged with sparkly gold threads! It comes in a pack with Poppy Parade, too! Selene finished up with a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots, including one on the embossed star above the sentiment.

Evergreen Forest Season's Greetings Card

Terri Gaines created this holiday card with the Evergreen Forest texture in the background, and I love all the additional die-cut layers.

Background Basics—Terri began with a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock, textured it with the Evergreen Forest folder, then sponged it lightly with Pear Pizzazz ink. I love how it really brings out the beautiful texture even more!

Pine Focal Point—Terri die-cut a Mossy Meadow tree with the Pine Wood Dies and layered it on some Stitched Nested Labels die-cuts in the Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow. The Pear Pizzazz label was also embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. The layers are popped up with Dimensionals.

Sweet Sentiment—Terri stamped the In The Pines greeting in Mossy Meadow ink onto a 2-1/2" x 1/2" strip of Whisper White that she fishtail cut on the ends. It's adhered to the label with SEAL and the end is popped up with Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches—The star of this card is the beautiful Gold Foil deer that Terri die-cut with the help of the North Pole Wonder Dies. Check out the detail on this die-cut…the fur and eye! Love it! The card is finished with several Gold Metallic Pearls scattered about the tree.
