A Big Tree! Slimline Card!

 

I wanted to make a tree that looked like the trees from The Grinch. Except I wanted it to be straight, not bending at the top. The Merriest Trees dies are great for making all different sizes of trees!

I die cut the largest tree twice. The next largest size twice. The next size three times. I just arranged them until I got them to look like I wanted. All with Granny Apple Green cardstock. I used my Blending Brush with Granny Apple Green ink to add a little color on the edges.

I glued the trees together (just put glue on the bottom of each tree when arranging. Once dry, put glue all over the back to glue to the card base).

I added tons of Basic Rhinestones. I colored them with the Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green Blends. I used the light and dark of all three.

The sentiment is from the Merriest Trees stamp set, I stamped with Shaded Spruce on Basic White. I fussy cut into a rectangle. Added on top of the tree with Dimensionals.

The tree base is with Silver Foil.

The background paper is from the Merry Bold & Bright DSP.

Measurements:

Granny Apple Green 8-1/2″ x 7″ Scored at 3-1/2″

Merry Bold & Bright DSP 8-3/8″ x 3-3/8″

Lots of Granny Apple Green for the tree

Scraps of Silver Foil for the Base

Scraps of Basic White for the sentiment

Don’t forget I have 4 other cards using the Merriest Trees. I will not share them anywhere except in the PDF Tutorial. It includes pictures, measurements, all products used and step by step instructions. You can see it here.

Candy Corn that Glows in the Dark! A New PDF! Tricks & Treats!

Tricks & Treats  (page 50) is really dang cute, but I found that I just couldn’t come up with ideas. Until this weekend, I made 8 cards with it!

I love candy corn. Not just to eat it (which I REALLY love), but I think it is always so cute!

The dies in Tricks & Treats has lots of stand alone dies. The candy corn is one of them! There are 3 candy corn dies- the whole body, the top and the bottom.

For the body, I die cut three in Pumpkin Pie and two is Fresh Freesia.

For the bottom, I die cut three in Lemon Lolly and two in Gorgeous Grape.

For the top, I cut all 6 with Glow in the Dark paper.

The bottom is Crumb Cake, embossed with the Timber embossing folder, then with a sponge dauber, I added some Versamark to some spots to give it a distressed look. I die cut the top with one of the Tricks & Treats dies.

The ribbon is the Black & White Gingham ribbon. I colored it with Pumpkin Pie and Fresh Freesia Blends.

“Happy Halloween” is a stamp from Pick of the Patch (page 51). I stamped with Pumpkin Pie and die cut with Stylish Shapes.

The background is embossed with one of the Basic 3D embossing folders.

The sparkly stuff is two things: the purple is the Tinsel Gems three pack. The orange and yellow is Rhinestone Basic, colored with Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie Blends.

Now, I made a PDF Tutorial using the Tricks and Treats. 4 cards, some of which are my favorites! You can see that PDF here

Reach for the Stars- I think as of right now, this is my most popular. I have made three cards that people seem to really like! So, I made 7 more. 4 of them can only be seen in the PDF!
