These A2 size cards feature the Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!.

Link to My Stampin' Up! Store

For this first card I began by cutting a 4"x3-1/4" top mat out of Whisper White CS.

Then I used some masks (cut from scraps of cardstock) to color the background.   First I placed one mask toward the bottom of the card and used Gray Granite Ink and a Make-Up brush to color above the mask.  I used a second mask further up the panel and used Tranquil Tide Ink to lightly color the sky area.

I stamped the group of trees stamp from the Lovely As Aa Tree stamp set using Tranquil Tide Ink.

The sentiment stamp is from the Toile Tidings stamp set and was stamped in Tranquil Tide Ink.

I mounted the top mat onto a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper cut at  4-1/4"x 3-1/2"

The bottom mat was cut at 5-1/4"x 4" from Tranquil Tide Cardstock and dotted with Whisper White Ink.

I taped a piece of White Ribbon with Silver Metallic Edges across the center of the bottom mat and then popped up the finished top mat using Dimensionals.

The completed piece was attached to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

This 2nd card was also colored using masks.  The standard size top mat (5"x3-3/4")was cut from Whisper White CS.  I covered the bottom of the mat with one of the curved masks and also applied a 1-7/8" circular mask toward the top of the mask, and then lightly shaded the top with Tranquil Tide Ink.

After removing the 2 masks I stamped the group of trees using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

The sentiment is from the October 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Pining for Plaid, and was also stamped with the Memento Ink.

I used glue pens to apply glue on the stamped lines at the bottom of the trees and sprinkled on some Dazzlin' Diamond Glitter.  Then I sprayed the whole card front with Shimmer Spray.

The top mat was attached to a standard size bottom mat of 5-1/4"x4" Tranquil Tide CS and then the completed piece attached to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

For this 3rd card I began by cutting 3"x4" piece of Whisper White Card. 

I applied a 1-1/4" circular mask and then lightly colored the piece using make-up brushes and Shaded Spruce Ink.  After removing the mask, I stamped the trees using Shaded Spruce Ink.  Then I dotted the panel with a glue pen and sprinkled the mat with Silver Glitter and sprayed it with Shimmer Spray.

I also stamped the pine tree from the Lovely AS A Tree Stamp set using Shaded Spruce Ink and fussy cut it out.

Next I cut a standard top mat out of Whisper White CS and cut out an oval shape using one of the Layered Ovals Framelits as shown (slightly off center).  The sentiment is from the Star of Light Stamp Set and was stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink.  Then I attached the top mat to the colored piece using Tape Runner and popped up the pine tree to the left side with Dimensionals.

The completed piece was attached to a standard bottom mat of Shaded Spruce CS and then to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.


For this 4th card I cut the top mat from Night of Navy CS and stamped several times using the Pine Tree from the  Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set using Whisper White Ink.  I used the Stamparatus to stamp it several times to get enough of the white color.  As the white ink dries it soaks into the paper a bit and so the trees almost look light blue.

I used a the Stampin' Chalk Marker to dot the sky.

Next I roughly tore the top edge off a scrap piece of Whisper White CS, drew several wavy lines of glue across the piece and applied Ice Stampin' Glitter.  I used Tape Runner to attach it to the bottom of the top mat and trimmed off the ends to fit the mat.

The sentiment is from the Star of Light Stamp Set and was heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.

I sprayed the completed top mat with Shimmer Spray.

The top mat was attached to a bottom mat cut from Seaside Spray CS and then to a Night of Navy Card Base.

For this last card the top mat was cut from Pear Pizzazz CS, the bottom mat was cut from a piece of Gray Shimmer CS in my stash, the card base was cut from Mossy Meadow CS.

I stamped the top mat several times (1st & 2nd generation stampin) using the group of trees from the Lovely As A Tree stamp set and Mossy Meadow Ink.

The deer was cut using one of the Detailed Dear Thinlits and the same Gray Shimmer CS, and then attached to the center of the mat using Tape Runner.

I taped 2 pieces of  Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon to the top and bottom of the top mat as shown.

The top mat was attached to the bottom mat and then the completed piece to the card base using Tape Runner.
