Instructions
(NOTE: SNAIL Adhesive used throughout unless otherwise indicated)
1. Score 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card stock at 4-1/4"; fold away from score line to create card base.
2. Adhere 5-1/4" x 4" Whisper White card stock to front of card.
3. Adhere DSP near top edge of Whisper White card stock (about 1/16" away from each side and the top).
4. Make template out of scrap card stock or cardboard (I used an empty cereal box). It doesn't need to look exactly like mine (see photo), but it does need to have a gentle curve along the bottom.
The photo below shows the pieces parts for this card. NOTE: For the stamp camp, since I was cutting pieces for a LOT of cards, I wanted to conserve as much DSP as possible, so I cut the curved edge on both the DSP and the Whisper White card stock. Since you probably won't be making 70+ cards, you do not necessarily need to do that -- you can just use a rectangular piece of DSP that's about 2-1/2" long and then cut the curved top edge on the Whisper White card stock as detailed below.
5. To create curved edge on Whisper White card stock, trace curved edge of template at top of paper. Cut along traced line.
6. To create hills, place curved edge of template where the bottom of the silver foil tree will be positioned on the card. Use Stampin' Sponge and Smoky Slate ink to daub ink along the curved edge of the template. Move the template up slightly and repeat to create the hill where the Pear Pizzazz trees will be positioned. (See photos below.)
This is what the piece should look like after you've finished sponging the hills.
7. Use Stampin' Sponge to apply ink along outer edges of curved Whisper White card stock.
8. Use Memento Ink to stamp sentiment near bottom left of curved Whisper White card stock. Adhere to front of card about 1/16" from bottom edge of Whisper White card stock and overlapping the DSP at the top.
9. Use Big Shot and die to cut the two trees shape from Pear Pizzazz card stock. Use Liquid Glue to adhere to card aligning the bottom of the trees with the top hill.
10. Use Big Shot and die to cut single tree shape from Silver Foil card stock. Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere to card, aligning the bottom of the tree with the bottom hill.
11. Use Big Shot and die to cut deer from Basic Gray card stock. Use small amount of Liquid Glue to adhere deer under left edge of silver foil tree as shown.
12. It's kind of hard to see in the photo above, but if you click on the photo to enlarge it, you should be able to spot the three small rhinestone jewels in the sky adding just a hint of a sparkle to the card.
Don't forget the inside . . . .
You may have noticed there is an extra single tree in the pieces parts photo . . . that piece was cut from Smoky Slate to add to the inside of the card.

| Sorry about the shadow across the lower left edge of this photo . . . that's me taking the picture with my iPhone! |
If you have a stamp with a small sprinkle of snowflakes (the one pictured here is from Tags and Trimmings (2017 Holiday Catalog)), adding a few snowflakes around the tree with Smoky Slate ink provides just the right touch to the inside.
Hope you enjoy this card!
