This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is the song “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”. Thru the month we are featuring Christmas Carols as our themes and this one will focus on non-traditional Christmas colors on our cards!
HEARTFELT WISHES
I saw something on Pinterest that inspired me to make this Christmas Tree card using scraps of bright colored cardstock! I think it turned out SO bright and merry!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Polished Pink cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Soft Sea Foam cardstock was embossed with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.
- A 1-1/2 x 5 piece of Basic White was cut with the Basic Borders Dies, then adhered to the bottom of the Soft Sea Foam and trimmed.
- The greeting from Heartfelt Wishes was stamped in the “snowbank” with Polished Pink Ink.
- The tree trunk is 1/2 x 2 and centered in the snowbank.
- The tree “branches” are 1/2 strips of Polished Pink, Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green cardstock, adhered slightly wonked. The sizes are 2-3/4, 2-3/8, 1-7/8, 1-5/8 and 1-1/4. The top is 1/2 x 3/4.
- The star was cut with the Stitched Stars Dies from Rose Gold Metallic Paper and popped up at the top with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
- The ornaments are 1/4″ Circles from Rose Gold Metallic Paper added randomly with Mini Glue Dots.
