I am super excited to be involved in my first Blog Hop with
my Team the “Creative Inkers”.
The Challenge/Theme is “Christmas” so I broke out the “Festival
Of Trees” stamp set and matching “Tree” Punch.
I chose this Bundle as it is very affordable {$59.25}, and can
be used in many different ways. For
more ideas you can check out Pinterest.
I have made up 4 samples, each different from the others.
In all four cards I featured a small Candy Dot as an anchor,
created using the Crop-A-Dile and Glimmer Paper in “Dazzling Diamonds”, and adhered
with Glue Dot.
The card Base is Pool Party, with a overlay of Crumb Cake.
The sentiment “Merry Christmas” is from the stamp set “Endless
Wishes” and stamped in Tempting Turquoise.
The Star Punch from the “Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack” is used
to punch the Star from Glimmer Paper in “Dazzling Diamonds”.
First sample features the Tree, with no embellishments/decorations
on the Tree.
Second sample features the Tree with a Bucket, with no embellishments/decorations
on the Tree.
Third sample features the Tree with “Dazzling Diamonds” Candy
Dot embellishments/decorations.
Fourth sample features the Tree with a Bucket, and the Tree with
“Dazzling Diamonds” Candy Dot embellishments/decorations.
For the card insert, which is Naturals White, the sentiment “A
Merry Little Wish… For Lots Of Joy At Christmas” is from the “Festival Of Trees”
stamp set, and stamped in Early Espresso,
I used the “Confetti
Stars” Punch as a border, and adhered the negative detail of the Tree in Crumb
Cake.
In the second version, I have added the Bucket.
The finishing touch is the Star at the top of Tree.
The “Tree” Punch is very versatile, as it can also be used to
make small trees as per the photos below ....
Can’ wait for my next Blog Hop, as this has been heaps of
fun.
As I am #16, I am officially at the end of the Blog Hop, but
you may like to go back to the beginning, in case you missed something, so head
on over to #1 Narelle Hoggard.
Or if you want to go back, head on over to #15 Kathryn Tyrell.
Happy craftin’,
Kathe.
