2015 Christmas - Stampin' Up! Festival of Trees

Stampin' Up! Festival of Trees is so versatile and fun. Today I wanted to show you how much fun with two cards featuring the tree in three dimension.  Mary created this stunning red, white and blue... the first in a recent class...

 The background is embossed with the Gently Falling embossing folder by Stampin' Up!

The tree is formed by adhering three trees together.  Simply stamp and punch out three trees, fold them in half on them selves and then glue one half to the opposite half of another and repeat.  I hope this You Tube video helps out!  You can then adhere this to your project.

2014 Christmas Stampin' Up! Partridge and Pears

This is the second post for Partridge and Pears (WM133854 / CM133857), makes me sing the song every time I use the stamp LOL  This post is using the stamp set on a Whisper White background.  The tree is stamped in Momento Tuxedo black, coloured with Stampin' Up! Blendabilities and mounted (using dimensionals/foam dots) on an embossed background.  In this case Filagree Frame 135818.  Gold Glitz was them used to highlight the fruit buds...

 This tree was not fussy cut as per above, the square was mounted on Old Olive cardstock with minimal framing.  This was then mounted on Whisper White which was embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder 127821

Back to fussy cutting out the tree and mounting it on an embossed (On Point 135876) Whisper White cardstock base.

I love to colour and the blendabilities make colouring and toning so easy.  Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you tomorrow for another post using Work of Art to create a Christmas Tree

Until then, happy crafting,
