2025 Card | Woodblock Wednesday Card | Christmas Slimline Card | Hero Arts | Memory Box

Hello everyone and welcome to a new Woodblock Wednesday card idea. Wednesday is the unofficial day of the week to give your woodblock stamps some love.  Today I am using a woodblock stamp called Winter Trees (K5814) from Hero Arts.  Hero Arts has had many stamps over the years called Winter Trees but this one is circa 2014 and, believe it or not, I found one, HERE, for sale.  I am pairing the stamp with a die called Deer Trio from Memory Box, circa  2013, and some digital sentiments I bought on Etsy.

Here's how I did it.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock, 3.25" x 8.25", and, using a stamp positioner and Onyx Black Versafine Ink, I stamped Winter Trees by Hero Arts several times until the front was fully covered.  Then I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  

• I made a top-folding slimline card base using white cardstock - 3 5/8" x 8 5/8".  
• I die-cut a piece of red cardstock using a stitched slimline die, which I then adhered to the card front.
• I cut a piece of 2mm fun foam, adhered it to the back of the trees, and then to the card front. 

• I die-cut Deer Trio from Memory Box (retired) using a piece of Kraft cardstock.  Then I cut the deer apart, distressed the edges using Coffee Archival Ink, and adhered them to the card front. 
• I glued a sentiment to front and the inside of the card, that I bought on Etsy, printed, die-cut, and layered on the red cardstock.  
• Lastly, I added Frosted Lace Stickles along the bases of the trees and the deer. 

Final card.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  Don't forget to go through your stash and either use some of it or give some love to woodblock stamps on Wednesdays.  Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.
