Gatefold Popup Christmas Package

 I have a hate-love with the Karen Burniston Parcel Pop-up card!

I find it confusing building it but I love the look of the card when done though!

It's just fun when you open it and see a package.  Pull the bottom down that has the red arrow and up pops the surprise!

3 Dimensional Tree Card

I love purples and blues on a Christmas card because I think they give off the sense of cold.  In my neck of the woods, we do have cold during that time and I love it!

No stamping on this card.  Just die cutting.

I die cut 3 sets of trees and used Distress Oxide with a blending brush to get a two-tone color the trees.  I also used the same colors to do the background of the base.  

First layer, which was the tallest trees in the back, was glued down, Next layer, was popped up with skinny pop dots. Last layer had a thicker pop dots.  It gives each set of trees dimension.

I wanted the very front (deer and Merry Christmas) to be the deeper purple but the Merry Christmas blended in too much.  I had a deeper purple Glitter so I used that and wrote over the top of it.

I tried to make Bokeh circles like the photo below by using water, the eraser part of a pencil and a dropper  to get smaller dots on the base background.
