oh boo… should’ve put a partridge and a pear in the tree! I was planning on putting a bird in the tree but I forgot when I started thinking the swirls looked like snow and then the snowflakes landed on there instead! haha! I forgot to use the white Wink of Stella Glitter Brush pen on the snowflakes! I’m going to add that!
I used the pretty Elyse tree die from Memory Box, HERE and mounted it on a piece of card-stock I just cut with the paper cutter. The background is a Hero Arts stamp. I stamped it with Clearsnap’s Frost White pigment ink on Desert Storm card-stock.
The sentiment stamps are from Papertrey Ink. I cut a strip ¾ inch wide, stamped with Onyx Black Versafine ink and trimmed the ends to make the banner. The teeny flake is an old Fiskars 3 different corners snowflake punch.
Clever way to do the sentiment on a Z-fold card… so why did it take two pieces of card-stock to get the background stamped?! lol I was close to changing the plan and using pattern paper! lol
The Holiday Card Class is fun, simply because it’s out of the ordinary of what I usually do! More than likely you will get a break tomorrow…no post from Pam! Friday I hope to be back with a Magnolia Christmas card for Tilda’s Town challenges.
Happy stamping to you! Thanks for looking and talk to you later!

Fantastic take on the Z-fold card. I really like the colors you’ve chosen and the MB Elyse tree. Elegant and pretty!
Beautiful card! I love those colors and the tree is gorgeous!
Love how you combined the sentiment strip Pam. Lovely card.

Clever card. I have never made a Z card. Do you have those instructions?
Betty
Love this layout. The sentiment ROCKS and the die cut filigree on the tree is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Why don’t I think to use the Z fold? I love them, and they are so much fun – thanks for inspiring me to REMEMBER!!!! Love your card, Pam – it’s such an elegant creation! We will miss you tomorrow! By the way, it would have taken me at least three tries to get that sentiment right! Hugs…
Love it – but then I like “fancy folds” – and tree is awesome and love the simple elegant look you have created.
WOW !!! This card is way out of your style and I really like it. It looks so elegant but it is simple. Right !!!! Very unique color combinations that work well together.
Beautiful.
simply gorgeous – love it – prettier than Jennifer’s original!
Love this Pam! What a great use of the die cut! 🙂 Nancee
Please tell me what the name of the swirly white background is on the brown paper?!?!?
I absolutely LOVE LOVE THIS IT!!!
