Did you know you could use our 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon to make a Burlap Ribbon Christmas Tree Card? I saw a similar idea on Pinterest that I thought was pretty cute, so I looked over my current Stampin’ Up! ribbons. I first thought I would use the Delightful Dijon ribbon in the Trio Pack, but then I spotted the Burlap Ribbon and I wondered if that would work! I suddenly liked the thought of a “rustic” look to the card! If you really wanted to be rustic, you might use a real twig for the tree trunk, but I just used a strip of Soft Suede cardstock. To adhere the ribbon to make the tree, I just used Stampin’ Dimensionals but kind of hid them under where the ribbon folded over. The top one is hidden underneath the star. At the very end of the ribbon, I used a couple of Glue Dots.
The star was a problem as I didn’t have a punch or framelit that seemed like quite the right size so I did die cut a star with one of the Mini Treat Bag dies, but then cut it down a little in size. It’s not perfect, but since it’s “rustic” it could be a little wonky! I could have stopped them, but oh no, I thought maybe those Enamel Dots might be fun to look like ornaments. The greeting comes from the Santa’s Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set. The card base is Early Espresso, the layer Real Red, and then the top layer Whisper White.
