Illuminated Christmas Tree


Welcome back!  Next up is the Illuminated Christmas tree die set.  This set is unique in that there is a beautifully detailed Christmas tree and a second die that has been designed to only emboss rather than cut to give the appearance of light from the tree's star.  I love the way it came out and I hope you will too!  If you would like the chance to win this one, get your comment on this post to be included in the drawing for it.  The next die set is scheduled for 2pm so I hope to see you back very soon!  All for now, Sue x

Wow Sue! I absolutely live the simplicity of this. It's absolutely stunning! I love your dies. Every time I go to Craft Range in Burnley they jump into my basket. Thanks for the advice on the glue for the bows. We assembled 25 in no time!

Hi Sue,


You did it again! This was not on my list just on account that I have something similar from Spellbinder that I have yet to put it to use, it has been with me for more that 3 years....and then you come along with this card and you blow my mind!
What am I suppose to do?

Cariños,
María Alba

I love the look of this tree, and the way you have incorporated the extra bit to have the radiance shining out from the star, well it's just spectacular. I can see this one being a favourite because it would look so elegant done as tone on tone, with a touch of glitter xx
