Hi Stamping Friends!
I'm heading out to do a private class this afternoon, so I thought I share one of the projects we'll be creating at our stamp-a-stack style event. I like the design so much that I'm also doing it in another color combination for this week's "Last Thursdays" monthly card class (on Tuesday!).
Both cards feature two holiday stamp sets that are on our Holiday Carryover List from last year: Evergreen and Greetings of the Season.
Both sets are still available even though they aren't in any current catalog. I doubt they'll stick around another year, so if you like them, be sure to get them this season!

Background & Texture—The Pool Party version is the one we're making at my Tuesday class. It starts with a Whisper White card base and a 4" x 5-1/4" layer of Pool Party card stock as the foundation.
I added another 1-1/2" x 5" piece of Pool Party on the left side, textured with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.
Silvery Tree—I stamped the Evergreen image in VersaMark on a piece of 2-1/4" x 5" Whisper White card stock, then embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder. I stamped the star next, and embossed that, too. TIP: It's much easier to see where you're stamping that star once you've embossed the tree, so I recommend embossing them separately.
Next, I used a Blender Pen dipped into Pear Pizzazz ink to color in the tree. The trunk is colored with Soft Suede ink.
More Silver Accents—I embossed the Greetings of the Season sentiment next. Again, it was easier to see where to stamp it after the tree was embossed.
Finally, I added a skinny, 1/4" x 5" strip of Silver Foil with Multipurpose Glue down the seam for another elegant touch. Perfect!
We'll be creating this Real Red version today at my private class (waves at Christine & friends!). I moved the Silver strip over to the left on this one, which still gives the card some balance with it's silver accents.
