Hello friends and happy STAMPtember®! I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their Blog Party and share inspiration with the new products. I shared a video and 2 card ideas yesterday, today I have a card with the Bold Leaves Cling Background stamp.
I wanted to stamp a bold graphic tree on my card, I was able to do that using a bit of masking. First, I masked the triangle shape on a white cardstock panel using masking paper. I marked the corners of the tree with a pencil and used that as a guide. It did take me several attempts to get a successful image. I stamped the image using my MISTI tool and light green ink.
I used a YG03 Copic marker to color over any imperfections where the stamp was touching the edges of the masking paper, as it didn’t stamp perfectly in that spot.
Next, I foiled the Season’s Greetings sentiment in Matte Silver foil. I trimmed my panel slightly and foam-mounted it onto the A2 card base. I added red and silver gems and white dots using a pen to dress the tree up. Card is done!

That background stamp makes a great Christmas tree.
Wow! What a beautiful Christmas card!
At first I thought this was a tree stamp that I hadn’t seen on any of the other blogs, but when I started reading the description and realized you masked off the background stamp, I thought it was a genius idea!! Great job, Yana! I’m hoping & wishing for peace in your Country. I’ve purchased a couple of sunflowers in support. Hugs to you & your fellow Ukranians!!
Gorgeous card. Thank you sooo much.
This is an awesome take on this design. I always look for your videos for any company on Youtube. You are very talented.

What an interesting card and technique. This gives another use for a stamp that seems one dimensional. I love this card and would be easy to mass produce once you have a mask made. Thanks for sharing this great idea.
