Sparkly White and Green Christmas Card

[@heidiyamazaki1292]

Such a pretty card! “Lovely as a tree” HAS to be the all-time best stamp in existence!

[@56sleepy]

Wow! Amazingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent. Going to have to give these techniques a try ❤

[@Cards4Cancer]

This is such a beautiful card. I saw something like this done before with used dryer sheets. The tissue is fantastic.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Karla, Yes it is reminiscent of the dryer sheet technique. Thanks so much for watching. Linda B.

[@francesilnicky-vanameyden1975]

This card caught my eye immediately! Thank you for showing how to piece it together! I will look for more of your u-tube videos for sure!

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Thanks Frances, I think I have about 600 on my channel.

[@angelalittlewood4523]

I just love this card. I have tried this technique using dryer sheets, but the tissue paper looks easier to use

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Thank you Angela, I think it is both understated and elegant. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@katecurrie7499]

Totally stunning card, you can't go wrong with trees.... for any time of the year. Love your design and all that glitter xx

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Thanks Kate!. One of my all time favorites. Linda B.

[@sueintveld3719]

Beautiful elegant card! Love the tissue paper technique which just adds that little something. This is a wonderful Holiday card that anyone would love to receive.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Sue, and not hard to make. Thanks for watching.

[@pamburr355]

New at all of this. Love to get all I need for this card.

[@judithsigler9644]

Stunning card, Linda! LOVE the softness of color in the pine trees and I, too, LOVE SPARKLES, so the glitter is “perfect”! Happy Creatin’! Thank you so much! :-))

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

From one Sparkle girl to another, Thanks! Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@CAnnWag]

Hi, Linda I watch you all of the time not sure how I missed this one. I have kept 'Lovely as a Tree' in my stampin arsenal. I have used it many times, not ready to put it away.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

I know it is one of my favorites as well

[@valgrant3303]

Lovely as a tree stamps are definitely a go to favourite ever. Shame it is no longer. What a fantastic idea with the tissue paper.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Thanks Val. I will never get rid of Lovely as a tree!

[@jeanmm2996]

Really really pretty! I love the tissue technique.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Thank you so much!

[@lornasargeant1221]

I loved this card but tried a couple of variations. Firstly, I re-oriented the card so that it was landscape. I inked the edges of the embossed layer with old olive and raised this using craft foam. I cut 2 images for each tree and glued them together before embossing. This made them stronger, but one tree still tore. Maybe worth trying embossing before die-cutting? I also cut an oval for the greeting and mounted it on a larger scalloped oval. I was very happy with the finished card. Thanks Linda for the technique and inspiration, it was an excellent card to make as a 'production line' project! When the 'silly season' is over, I want to adapt this card for other occasions, e.g. sympathy, birthday, by using a variety of stamped images, embossing folders and inks and possibly cutting either square, rectangle or oval window.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Lorna, All sounds like interesting variations. In the end I used a crease pad and shims with one cutting plate to lessen the impact of the pressure of the machine and that worked without fail. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@donnthomsen780]

Beautiful. Your talent really sparkles...

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Donn, How are you? Maybe we could get together for a cup of coffee one of these days. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@ginagibson8600]

[@dianaantu8227]

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Diana, You are right it is definitely a classic. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@jerseyd2327]

Stunning card! I’m new to your channel and YOU are a great talent! I look forward to watching all the videos I have missed! Thank you for inspiring me. Jami from Wisconsin!

[@heidirichardson4988]

That is very cleaver with the tissue paper, very pretty!

[@kathryncrowley7360]

Oh so beautiful Linda, I have not seen the tissue paper technique done before can't wait to try it out.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Kathryn, I love bringing different ideas forward, especially when they are not difficult. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@37homecrafts]

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

I love doing the white on white every year. it is a fun challenge.

[@terrie1226]

Great looking card and the color...well done and tfs

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Terrie, Thank you! Linda B.

[@sietievdw5404]

Wonderful card, could it help to put a extra sheet of copy paper between the cardstock and the embossing folder to make a less deep embossing?

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi S vdw, I tried everything since I made the video I did put a piece of cardstock in the embossing folder, eliminated one of the cutting pads and used a crease pad and a chipboard shim, that seemed to solve the problem. You were definitely on the right track. Thanks for watching! Linda B.

[@elizabethgray9255]

Very pretty card. Can’t wait to try the tissue technique.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Elizabeth, Thank you. It is a little messy but the results are amazing. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@roniisablake]

I just discovered your channel. Beautiful card!!

[@sherrienelson1956]

Lovely card! Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@anne9576]

Can you cut the trees after you emboss them it's very nice I'm going to try making it x

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Annette, Good suggestion, I haven't tried that. It would all depend on whether your die cutting would flatten out the embossing, but maybe that's a good think. I will give it a try. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@marilynmoore8930]

love all your cards, you do a great job with your videos, thank you for them.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

HI Marilyn, Thank you! I love what I do. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@shellycarter155]

Very beautiful card! It’s similar to the “used dryer sheet technique”. Just a thought for the embossing folder, maybe use a shim to protect the desired cut.. I can’t wait to try making this card! It’s amazing! Thanks so very much for sharing! ❤️❤️

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Shelley, I have learned a ton since creating this one. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@shellycarter155]

Linda Bedinger, Ink and Ingenuity it’s a very beautiful card! I wish I were as skilled as you are! ❤️❤️

[@TheNumber1Aunt]

Linda, your card is just beautiful! I do believe you are the first person I have ever actually seen using the large end of the tombow glue dispenser in a video :-) I use it on occasion and find it interesting that I never see other people using it. So, you changed that today! Thank you for sharing your lovely card!

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hello Number1Aunt, Thank you, I do just love this card. Interesting about the glue I do use it that way when the need is there. Thanks for watching! Linda B.

[@patricialturner7410]

Very nice. I have a question regarding the glue stick. I never had much luck with it.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Yes adding this much glitter is a bit of a problem. You could use two way glue or heat ans stick powder. Sort of whichever way you can get it to stick. Thanks for watching.

[@gailhastings7090]

Love your card Linda ,thank you so much for sharing with us!....xxx

[@petubarrientos436]

Beautiful card!!! Thanks.

[@melcares2]

I know I’m late at watching but was wondering if you could use like a fine iridescent glitter instead of embossing powder?

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Melcares, Thank you so much for watching while I was away at Onstage in Orlando. I believe you can use the fine glitter I think it would be lovely. Linda B.

[@LindaSinNE]

I so enjoyed watching and listening to this video. You have a very pleasant voice and manner. The card is gorgeous, and I was fascinated by the tissue paper technique. It might help contain some of the glitter so that the person receiving it does not take us off their Christmas list. HaHa. Thanks again.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Linda, Yes it is a love hate relationship with glitter. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@graceday7203]

This card is just stunning and I so appreciate you sharing it with your viewers. I'm going to try to make a similar card, and can hardly wait to break out the glitter! Thank you so much.

Hi Brenda, Thank you and thanks for watching. Happy crafting. Linda B.

[@dettys01]

I totally CASED your card! It is absolutely gorgeous! I also signed up as a subscriber to your KZbin channel. One suggestion: I ran the cardstock through the Seaside folder first and then cut out my trees. It didn't seem to reduce the embossing very much and I didn't have the tearing problem at the top of the tree. I added a line of glue wherever the embossing was raised and added some Dazzling Diamonds to that. Beautiful job, Linda!

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Sylvia, Thank you. Good suggestion I have since started eliminating one of the clear plates and use a crease bad to reduce the pressure then added shims plus an additional piece of cardstock in the folder. I finally got the right pressure without the tears. I will try your method as well. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@dmaddock9774]

Hi Debbie, Thank You!. Linda B.

[@bevpage5441]

This is a stunning card and loved some of the techniques that I've not seen before. Your camera is a little far away from your card, and I would have loved to see the detail of the Softly Falling embossing folder but the image is too far away to see the details. However, enjoyed the video very much, so am going to try to buy that fabulous stamp, Lovely as a Tree, as the trees are so fabulous. Many thanks.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Bev, Thank you! Do you have catalogs? If you don't send me an inquiry with your address and I will send some to you. The embossing folder is great and Lovely as a tree is one of the most versatile stamp sets ever. Thanks for watching

[@bevpage5441]

Thanks again. Yes, thank you. I do have your catalogues from a lovely Stampin Up lady here in Australia, so will go through that as you gave the name of the folders used. You have fabulous products. Again thanks for the techniques, especially with the tissue paper. Can't wait to try that one. Will be watching more now that I have found you and subscribed.
