Hot Foil Holiday Expressions Tree

Hello!  It's Lindsey again with a hot foiled holiday card for you.  It doesn't matter how many times I hot foil, I am in awe of the beauty and elegance it produces.

I started by hot foiling the Jolly Holly Hot Foil Plate with Champagne Glimmer Foil onto a cream A2 card base.  

Then I started prepping all the pieces I would need to build my Christmas tree.  I trimmed a tiny strip of gold cardstock for the trunk and die cut a couple of stars with a die from my stash.  I layered the stars on top of each other and set them aside.

Using the same Champagne Glimmer Foil, I hot foiled the Gilded Holiday Expressions Press-Tacular Plate and die cut it with the coordinating dies. Now I had a pile of holiday sentiments in various sizes to use.

Next, I die cut a 4" x 5.25" piece of vellum.  Using the grid on my Scor Pal, I aligned the star at 2", which was the center of my vellum panel.  Working from top to bottom, I chose sentiments in increasing length to build my tree and popped each sentiment up with foam adhesive.

After my tree was assembled, I die cut a few of the smallest Canopy Leaf Die in gold cardstock.  I trimmed off just the berries to tuck into a few places on my tree.  

With my tree now fully assembled, I adhered the vellum panel to my card base, and my card was complete.

  Thanks so much for joining me today!  I hope you have a wonderful, crafty weekend!
