Looking for another quick Christmas card idea? The new Deco Trees die is perfect for quick cards - and it's great with glitter too! Hello, Jean Okimoto here, with a design in the simple, clean contemporary style I love.
Cut the 2-3/4" x 4" Wrapped Stitch Rectangle from textured white cardstock. Cut Deco Trees.
Here's a tip...instead of backing the entire cutout one large piece of tape to attach the glitter - cut three pieces of tape instead. Attach the tape behind each tree and apply the glitter one tree at a time to keep the colors from mixing. Using a paintbrush to apply the glitter helps too - it's a lot neater than dumping glitter onto the adhesive. The pretty colors used here are from Martha Stewart Crafts - Blueberry Blush, Sugar Plum and Wintermint.
Cut strips of violet and turquoise cardstock with a portion of the Wrapped Stitch Rectangles to create accent strips for the left side of the card.
Cut Snowdrift Breeze from silver glittered cardstock - save the three dots too. Attach the dots and snowflakes. Attach everything to a white side-folded A-2 card.
Thanks for stopping by today. Can you believe it's already the end of July? It's OK if the entire Christmas-in-July thing was just a dream - Impress has a great selection of Memory Box, Open Studio and Poppystamps dies and stamps ready for the holidays - and you!

This is so pretty Jean. I haven't used this technique in quite awhile, certainly not since I got some new Christmas dies. Also, I love that you placed your glitter in cup cake liners to separate the colours and catch the excess. Very clever.
