Hey Everyone, Whew! I’m a bit rusty. Haven’t stamped in over a week, lol. Thought I would start my return with a card that is more on the simple side. In this tutorial I used a set that is everyone’s Stampin’ Up! staple set, Lovely As a Tree. If you don’t have this set, run and purchase it, lol.
Before we get started on the tutorial, I want to update you on Russ. He is home and doing well. Docs have him off work this week and will be doing some out patient tests on him. Apparently, he has a valve in his heart that is not cooperating. Anyway, he is well on his way to getting better. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. Smooches and Hugs to all of you!
Now let’s get started. . . . . . . .

Cut a 3.75″ circle using my Big Shot and Circle Die and scrap card stock. I used this circle as the mask for the moon and hold it in place while I brayer. The Whisper White card stock is 4″ x 5.5″.
Brayered Tempting Turquoise ink on the left side of the card stock. You have to turn the card stock upside down in order to brayer the left side.
Brayered Not Quite Navy ink on the left side of the card stock, not covering the Tempting Turquoise ink entirely.
Removed the moon mask.
Masked the bottom of the card stock and stamped my trees. I moved the post it note around so my trees were not on the same level or same height.
Removed the mask and sponged Basic Black ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Extended the trunks of the trees to reach the ground with a Basic Black marker.
Added White Gel Pen dots in the sky for stars.
Cropped the card stock to 3.5″ x 5″.
Added another tree with Basic Black ink.
Used the Ticket Corner Punch on the main image panel and a black panel.
Added Basic Black panels and Tempting Turquoise panels.
Added two rows of piercings using the Stampin’ Up! piercing tools.
Added 3 silver brads.
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″
May your day be one of extreme joy!
Until my next post. . . . . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle
