Seasonal Trees Blog Hop



Seasonal Trees is a great stamp set to get you excited about the upcoming holiday season...and more to come! Weather you are crafting for Thanksgiving, Christmas or a Summer Holiday this set is for you! 





Brenda Lapp pointed you to my blog as part of the Close To My Heart consultant monthly Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. After you see the fun card I made head over to Katy Taylor's blog and see what she created to share with you. If you like you can start at the beginning of the blog by heading over to Melinda Everett's blog lists all participating consultants this month. 

I chose to use the Oh What Fun paper pack to highlight this fun Seasonal Tree stamp set that you can get for only $5 with a qualifying $50 order on my website.


 I made this card using a svg purchased from 3Dcuts.com adding a pattern adapted from page 24, Pattern 10 from Make It from Your Heart Vol.4 to make the front cover. The size of the card is a folded 8.5" x 11" cardstock piece so it requires a 6" x 9 envelope for mailing.

 The bright paper really makes the Merry Christmas POP when you open the card!

 One of my favorite things to do with these great stamped images is make Cricut cuts with them to make unusual scrapbook layouts with them. I used one of the trees to make a mini forest with the leaves cut out on the background page to show a color behind it. I used Pomegranate and Clover cardstock to make the tree trunks. Fun!

 Flip flaps make adding extra pictures to a layout easy. There are six extras added...

 I also prepared my next project using Mylar Stencil Sheets copying a stamped image of another tree and I will be using two types of our Texture pastes to add dimension to a Thanksgiving holiday home decor piece. I will try to post tomorrow.

The other tip I want to leave you with is to use two sizes of 3D foam tape when you are using multiples of similar die cuts to add depth without bulk to your layouts. Always, Alayne
