It’s a snap to make this easy Merriest Trees Christmas card! A total beginner stamper had no trouble making this card in class last week. We used the Merriest Trees bundle (162048) and a piece of beautiful Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper (162378). The greeting was heat embossed with gold embossing powder. Heat embossing is such a magical technique that still enchants me after at least 45 years.

Directions
- Use Stampin’ Seal to apply the designer series paper to the folded Basic White card base.
- Rub the Shaded Spruce cardstock with the embossing buddy and stamp the greeting with versamark. Apply gold embossing powder, tap off excess and heat emboss.
- Cut the greeting out with the largest tree die.
- Use the paper snips to cut the 2 1/2″ x 4″ Basic White cardstock approximately in half with a snowdrift type curve. Turn one piece around so they overlap.
- Use seal to stick the back layer to the card front.
- Adhere the front layer with seal only on the sides and bottom of the piece. The top should be not sticky.
- Apply a little seal on the back of the tree and then slip it between the Basic White layers.
- Cover the back of the gold foil sheet scrap with adhesive sheet and cut one of the stars from it. Put it on the top of the tree.
