A Very Merry Christmas To You
Good Sunday morning all! For today's card, I found some decorative papers in my craft stash and used them as the background (sorry, I d not recall the name of the papers). I cut the largest die from the Swirly Tree-O out of Antique Gold card and backed it with the same colour card. I added the larger outer die front he set and cut it in green and added the tree to it. I cut a piece of milk card and matted it in red. I added the tree to it with mounting foam, then added some small stars around it in gold as accents. Using the Classic Poinsettia die, I cut two flowers, assembled them and added them next to the tree and added green leaves as accents. I cut the A Very Merry Christmas To You in red and glued it to the bottom of the card. The card was completed with milk card mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a fabulous sample, I love the background holly and music pattern, yes I know it is one from your stash, but I am sure something like it cam be found in our stash. Love the tree die, I have that one so will have a go at making it, thank you for the inspiration xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue. I have been trying to think of different ideas to use these Christmas trees and here is a perfect example of one that I hadn't thought of. Great idea
Good morning Sue, A classic Christmas card, I love how you have used your stash as we will all have something similar. I love how your tree stands out & again your beautiful Poinsettia flowers. Yvonne xx
