A Special Merry Christmas with a Small Pine Tree Collage by Jean Okimoto

Cool winter wishes continue with more great new designs from our 2020 Holiday Collection. It's the perfect mix of classic, contemporary, glittery, shimmery and artsy elements for Christmas crafting. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a little bit of everything from our latest release.

Cut the corner berries and greenery print from the new Garland 6x6 with the largest Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die. Prep the Small Pine Tree Collage die by rubbing it briskly with a piece of scrunched waxed paper - to make it easier to remove the cardstock after diecutting. Cut the collage. Instead of pulling the diecut away from the offcuts - gently wiggle the offcuts away from the diecut.

Attach a piece of Poppystamps' Snowspeckle Wide Washi Tape to a top-folded green A-2 card - position it to fill the oval cutout. Attach the diecut rectangle.

Prep the Special Merry Christmas die with waxed paper and cut the lighter red glitter cardstock from the new Holiday Glitter Pad. Attach it with tiny dots of Aleene's Original Tacky Glue.

Punch ¼" circles of the gold Holiday Glitter Pad cardstock.

Shake the new Ruby Crystal Glitter Glue to blend the contents, then squeeze a large drop onto scrap paper. Use a skewer to add dots of Ruby Crystal to several leaf clusters. Set the card aside to dry the glue.
