3 Holiday Cards Featuring Birch Forest Background
Hello, friends!
Svitlana is here with three holiday cards featuring the recently released Birch Forest Stamp Set. This stamp set is not a holiday one per se. But when I saw the background stamp included in the set (considering which season is going on now), I couldn't stop but only see a bunch of holiday ideas.
FESTIVE DEER
There is an oldie but goodie Modern Deer Stamp Set which in my opinion works great with this birch background.
I stamped the deer using the Mocha and Espresso Dye Inks and then die cut it with the matching dies.
The birch forest background was white embossed onto a Parchment panel which then got wrapped with a red twine. I also added a small twine bow around the deer neck right before I popped it up onto the panel.
Then, the panel was foam mounted onto a white card base.
The sentiment I white embossed onto a red cardstock, cut it out and popped up onto the card. To finish the card off, I added several red sequins.
LARGE SENTIMENT
For my first card, I used a classic technique of a continuous background through the card elements.
Here, I stamped the background in Crimson onto a white cardstock and clear embossed it onto a red cardstock.
Then, I die cut the word MERRY out of the white piece using dies from the Bold Alphabet Die Set. When I was die cutting, I overlapped some letters with ones next to them (in order to fit the word onto the panel).
Then, I blended Crimson Dye Ink along the letter edges and adhered them onto the red panel. I aligned the birch design on the letters with the one on the background. Then, I foam mounted the panel onto a white card base.
The rest of the sentiment I made using the Happy Holidays Stamp Set which I popped up onto the card. Lastly, I added several sequins.
WINTER FOREST SCENE
For my last card, I also using the Modern Deer Stamp Set to accompany the one in question.
I stamped one deer onto a white panel along with the birch background stamped in black. I did some masking to place the deer partially behind one of the birch trees.
Then, I filled the space between the trees with a black marker and added a white spray splatter onto it. After that, I adhered the panel onto a white card base.
I also made two “snow drifts” by tearing a white cardstock piece and foam mounted it onto the card. Then, I stamped the sentiment in Crimson onto a “drift”.
One more deer was stamped, die cut, and adhered onto the card.
Finally, I finished it off by adding several red sequins.
