Tree Trimmings

Hello all,

Well it's been another busy week as usual and my Workshop on Saturday went well making two Christmas cards using the new stamp set "Tree Trimmings". My ladies got to use new goodies from the newly published Idea Book & Catalogue and they created the two cards below:

Tree Trimmings


Stamps: Tree Trimmings, Basic Phrases.
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Old Olive and Whisper White.
Ink Pad:
Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Wersamark Stamp Pad.

Accessories: Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Embossing Buddy, White and Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Striped Grosgrain Ribbon - Real Red, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Corner Rounder Punch.
Card Size: A6.

Spinner Card

The below card is a spinner card with the use of two pennies. These fit in between the Word Window slot and enables the ornament to slide left and right across the card as you tilt it slightly to reveal the sentiment behind.


Stamps: Tree Trimmings, Basic Phrases.
Cardstock: Garden Green, Real Red and Whisper White.
Ink Pad:
Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Garden Green and Versamark Stamp Pad.

Accessories: Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Heat & Stick Powder, Dazzling Diamonds, Heat Gun, Word Window Punch.
Card Size: A6.

Hope you like and they inspire you to start making your Christmas cards!

Thanks for stopping by,

Alex
