Present Tree

Hi bloggers!  After the whirlwind that was Ally Pally, I am jumping back in the saddle to get ready for the next set of shows that I am doing.  There is a Spellbinders POTD this evening, but Creative Expressions isn't doing those shows (I hope I still have a job demoing! LOL)  I do have three hours scheduled for Sunday the 30th.  I will be doing the tool shed from noon until 2pm and then an hour at 5pm.  I hope you will save your pennies for them as there are exciting new dies and the new A4 size embossibilities too on the shows.  I am very excited about these and have some lovely samples to show.  Don't forget to put it in your diaries.  I will give you a sneaky peek later on in the week.  For today's card, it is a really easy card which really doesn't need a detailed explanation.  I have simply used the small present from the Frosty Forms set, added the swirly bow from the set to it and created a Christmas tree of presents.  I used some of my favourite gold decorative card (which was purchased in Florida at Hobby Lobby), but it just looked like it would make lovely wrapping paper for my pressies.  The background was created using the Lattice embossing folder designed by Sam Poole.  These were supposed to have been on the last shows, but the stock did not arrive in time.  We will have them available very soon though if you are looking for it.  I added a small 3mm black pearl to each of the bow centres on the presents as an accent.  You can see these better in the close up below. I added a double bow at the bottom, tied from the satin edged frilly organza ribbon.  I added a fancy button from my stash to the centre.   I added some 5mm black pearls to the corners as an accent and pierced the edges to complete the card.  Great card if you have lots of scraps to use since those pressies don't take but a bite size piece of decorative card!  All for now, Sue x
