In the Pines Bundle. Why did I buy this one? I live in a tiny house, right? Well, let me share the blog of Cheri. She is the reason I have it. Her work with it was just beautiful, and no other tree that I had worked well with the new Evergreen 3D Embossing folder, believe me, I tried, In the Woods, and the trees from the Mountain Air bundle. Neither worked for me. So I ordered it with the coupons that I earned in July. Unfortunately, I just got my dies last week. They have been lost going from Utah to Butner, NC, then to Washington DC. Then back to NC to me. I guess this is what happens when you get UPS and USPS involved with something.
Back to the cards. I decided to use up my Noble Peacock Foil paper that did not carry over and was retired in June last year. The new Evergreen Embossing folder was just the item to use with it. I cut up all three colors to 3 1/2 x 1 5/8 inches using one of each color for my main image. I did adhere the strips to a thin piece of paper as not to allow it to shift in the embossing folder on me. I loved these, and I set them aside, unsure of what else to do with them for a sentiment. I was thinking along the lines of using vellum or clear acetate to put the sentiment on. However, I came across Cheri’s cards. This is what sparked the rest of these cards. Take a look.
The Cards
I cut all these trees using one piece of whisper white cardstock measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. Check out the placement to make the most of your paper.
On my third card, I added leftover Snowflake Splendor DSP from a peekaboo card that I did for you earlier in the week. I am just so tickled with the way they came out. I told my mom the sentiment on them, and she was a little upset that they did not say MERRY CHRISTMAS. Haha, at least it is not Happy Holidays or Seasons Greetings. Christ is the reason for the season.
I hope you enjoyed these today. Below are the products used. Two of them have retired. Don’t forget to check out giveaways for September.
