Patchwork Tree

I'm back with another easy Christmas card idea.  Here we're using Cherry Cobbler card stock and both of our red and silver glimmer paper.

I used the pennant die to cut the Christmas tree shape.

Punched 3 - 1/2" circles from the red glimmer paper and used stampin' dimensionals to pop them up.

Punched 1 star from the silver glimmer paper and colored it using Daffodil Delight ink refill.  Sorry - the star is retired.  I used stampin' dimensionals to pop it up also.

Stamped the saying from "Contempo Christmas"

Finished the card with the Cherry Cobbler baker's twine.

Triple Treat Flower

I'm back with my favorite A la Carte stamp in the big catalog - Triple Treat Flower.  It's on page 18 in the catalog #122909.  Did you know we have several pages in our big catalog with single stamps??  I've used this stamp in all kind of colors....and now I'm using it in Real Red and Garden Green for Christmas.  One thing I love about it is that you stamp it several times either in the same color or different colors and punch the various pieces out with our FANCY FLOWER punch, 5-PETAL FLOWER punch, and 1/2" CIRCLE punch. I like using stampin' dimensionals to vary the height in the different layers.

Triple Treat Flower - #122909 - $8.95
Fancy Flower Punch - #118073  -  $16.95
5-Petal Flower Punch - #119880 - $16.95
1/2" Circle Punch - #119869  -  $5.95

Let me know if you'd like to order any of the supplies to make this card.
