Tree Angle

This week I’m focusing on the stamp set Tree Angle. It’s a 15 piece photopolymer set for only $17 (153442) and makes Christmas card making simple and fun. After I found that the Stitched Triangle dies coordinate with this set, I made a number of trees and die cut them so I had a selection to play with. The coordination with the die set makes it really good value – as long as you also buy the Right Triangle bundle as well.

This tree is a 2 step stamp – the outline and dotted lines were stamped first in shaded spruce. After that, the stars were heated embossed in gold although they don’t seem to twinkle in the photo. As before, the trunk was stamped in early espresso.

The sentiment comes from the Tree Angle set and is heat embossed in gold onto a very vanilla card base. I’d advise doing the heat embossing on the card base before attaching the top layer matted in shaded spruce. Just in case!

This is another of the cards that I’ll be showing on my Facebook live next Sunday at 11am EST.

Tree Angle

This week I’m focusing on the stamp set Tree Angle. It’s a 15 piece photopolymer set for only $17 (153442) and to my delight I discovered that it does indeed coordinate with the Stitched Triangle dies. It looked like it might, and it does.

So I stamped some of the trees using real red and shaded spruce and then cut them out using the stitched triangle dies. I love the poinsettia one, it’s just too Christmassy for words! Perhaps it was my delight with this little tree which led me to adding a bow to it. The beautiful red ribbon with gold edges is from the All the Trimmings Combo ribbon pack where it’s paired with an old olive version (153541, $8). Early Espresso was used for the trunks.

The sentiment comes from the Tree Angle set and is stamped in shaded spruce. The whole very vanilla layer was glued to a shaded spruce card base and gilded gems adorn the top of the trees.

Feels Like Frost

I decided to make a start on my Christmas cards and selected the beautiful 6″ by 6″ Feels Like Frost DSP to help me. This paper was brought out last year but due to its popularity , it has returned. And it’s easy to see why it was so popular.

I cut off a slice and matted it in pretty peacock and mounted that on a thick whisper white card base. All the card needed then was a sentiment. I used the Poinsettia Petals since it had a nice looking long Merry Christmas which fit perfectly.

Next I took the piece remaining of the DSP and turned it over.

This I matted with silver foil and then heat embossed the same sentiment from Poinsettia Petals in silver. This came together really quickly and I’m pleased to have started my Christmas cards.

I’ll create a virtual card class so you can start too.

So Many Stars in copper

Leave a reply

Here’s my second card made with the So Many Stars stamp set and although I used similar stamps, it’s very different from Wednesday’s card. There are 2 sets of stamps that are the same sized stars but have different decorations on them so you can ring the changes.

Not only did I use similar stamps, it’s a similar-ish layout. But before I started I used water and the pigment sprinkles on watercolor paper to get a striking background. The stars are heat embossed in copper which led to the copper foil mat and the copper trim. I did cut out a large rectangle of the copper foil since it seemed rather extravagant to use so much that wasn’t seen! Interestingly, I used the Bermuda bay, daffodil delight and a tiny bit of mango melody sprinkles but the card base that worked the best was Shaded Spruce!

So many stars

This week I’ve been playing with the So Many Stars bundle although this card only used the stamp set

This card is truly deserving of the #SimpleStamping tag! I stamped the three stamps in versamark onto a piece of Shaded Spruce and then heat embossed in silver. A shaded spruce card base completed the card. Quick and easy; I think I’ll make some of these to add to my stash of cards at the craft fair on Saturday.
