Impression Obsession Bare Tree & Cardinals

This is a copy of a card we made at the Christmas Marathon Class at Stamp on Over. I don’t know why I thought this design would be an easy one to mass produce. Before embarking on this journey, I should have counted the steps required to make it and multiplied that by fifteen for the fifteen cards I made.

I often adhere two die-cuts together to give them more dimension. This time I just used a heavier cardstock, and I really like the effect.

Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock (110-lb. for the card base and the die-cut tree; 80-lb. for the focal paste-embossed focal piece)

3M Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive Spray (I don’t think it was meant to work with glitter. Even after adding the glitter and waiting two days, it was tacky. I think I’ll get some Aleene’s Spray Adhesive. That’s what we used at the Marathon Class, and it worked great.)
