There is a new release over at Simon Says Stamp today, Holiday Sparkle! I have made three cards with one of the sweet new dies and the sentiments from one of the very cool new stamp sets...
In my most loved fashion, I saw this cute Mod Tree die as an opportunity to make some clean and simple Christmas cards. This little die has SO many possibilities...It is a super sweet die!! I also loved the sentiments from the Printmaking Pines stamp set...I thought they were perfect for this tree die!
For this first one, I colored the three tiers with markers, and added a die cut pink heart. I die cut the first layer with all the pieces white. I put adhesive all over the outline and leaves, then added a die cut white outline and the colored leaves as the second layer. Then, I die cut two more, and just used the outlines, adhering them together and then to the other two layers. I did all three the same way. I popped up the panels on a double thick sticky foam...the smaller panel just looks cool, to me, popped up a bit extra. Here's a close up...
The second one, I used some embossing paste, and some glitter...
I thought some sparkle for snow was fun...and this release IS Holiday Sparkle, so I thought it especially fitting to bring out the glitter! I used dark green cardstock for the tree, and some embossing paste and glitter on the tree and on the outline, as well. I fit the sentiment to go with the snow hill, such fun!! Here's a close up...
The third one, the simplest of the three...
I used three different colors of cardstock for the tree, and gold for the stem, as well as gold embossing for the sentiment. Here's a close up...
Hope you will join me and a whole bunch of very talented artists tomorrow and Saturday, for a couple Blog Hops on the Simon Blog! There is so much Holiday Sparkle to be had!
Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa
Love this cute little tree that can be so cute made simply or really blinged up with sparkly paper
