Stampin Up Tree Angle Christmas Card

Todays card was inspired by this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.  I used Stampin' Up Tree Angle stamp set along with Stampin' Up Stitched Triangle die set.  

Freshly Made Sketches provided the below sketch.  I immediately thought of Christmas trees. Below is the inspiration of todays card.

    

I started with a Mossy Meadow card base scored in tent fashion.  I adhered a panel of striped paper from Stampin' Up Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper to the front.  I dry embossed some matching Real Red cardstock with Stampin' Up Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder and my new Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine.  This new machine is amazing!  I am a true collector of scrapbook and card making supplies and this one is awesome!

I stamped 3 different sized trees with Stampin' Up Tree Angle stamp set in Real Red, Mossy Meadows and Pear Pizazz.  I utilized the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine to die cut the trees with Stampin' Up Stitched Triangle die set... did I mention you really need this machine?

I adhered the trees with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I used one layer on the middle tree and 2 layers on the 2 side trees to add some depth.  I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow on some Whisper White and punched the ends with Stampin' Up Banners Pick a Punch.  I added some Real Red cardstock to create a border on the sentiment.  

The inside was simple with the sentiment stamped from Stampin' Up Tree Angle in Real Red ink.  I added another tree in Mossy Meadow.

I stamped a unicorn in Gorgeous Grape and Melon Mambo.  I die cut it and added a horn die cut from a scrap of Silver Foil.  I stamped the sentiment from Stampin Up Hippo Happiness stamp set in Gorgeous Grape to a sheet of Whisper White. I used the largest shaped it in the Hippo and Friends dies to die cut a sheet of Melon Mambo and the next size down to die cut the Whisper White.  I added some stars and adhered the unicorn with some Stampin Dimensionals.  I adhered the die cuts to the card front.

Todays card features Stampin' Up Special Someone stamp set and coordinating Special Day die set.  I used the sketch from Fusion Card Challenge to give me a little inspiration.  Below is a Fusion Challenge information.

The card is a Magenta Madness card base with a panel of Whisper White.  I adhered a panel of Misty Moonlight In Color DSP to the Whisper White.  I took the Just Jade DSP from the same collection and die cut a grass background from the Special Day set.

Next, I stamped my creatures from the stamp set on Whisper White.  I stamped the raccoon outline with Soft Suede and the filling with Soft Suede that I stamped off to give it a little lighter coloring.  I did the same thing with Basic Gray for the chipmunk and mouse.
