I have used one of the fun and pretty, new Christmas stamp/die sets, Festive Trees (Christmas is fast approaching!), to make a few cards to share with you. I love simplicity, especially at Christmas, and these trees are simply and wonderfully enough for a Christmas card...

This set has some really cool, graphic Christmas trees...such fun!!!!  I used the plank tree from the set, colored in shades of green, added the new Plank Background stamp, and one of the sentiments from the set.  I colored the star for the top of the tree with my Prismacolor markers gold pen that came with my markers.  Here's a close up...

Then, I used the triangle tree, colored in, what else, RAINBOW!!  

I used sharpie markers for the tree, and stamped, and cut the rectangle from the card panel that I had stamped the Simon Deco Diamonds onto.  This time the star AND the base were colored gold.  Here's a close up... 

And then a card done with the heart tree...

I versamarked on vellum and gold embossed.  I colored the hearts from the back of the stamped vellum and adhered to a layered tree.  I added the sentiment with the LOVE put into the middle, and embossed with gold powder.  Here's a close up...

I had so much fun making these cards!!!  

As the Stamptember heading above says, you can use the code AUTF39,  and receive free Fall dies with any purchase!!  I hope you will check out the Simon Blog for more details on today's party and for the month long events to follow!!  SUCH FUN, I can hardly stand it!!
