Christmas Tree Champions

Wow, what a gorgeous gallery of Christmas Trees.  Here are a few that caught our eyes.

SonjaK's

coloring just pops off the screen including her white-on-black sentiment. ... 

and the stitching adds such great detail.

Mimi's

library card beauty with pink glittery trees, wooden stars, 

and hand-stained ribbon made us swoon.

Marina's

combination of embossed transparency with

chevron trees is so fun and funky.

Make sure you check back at midnight for another fun holiday theme ... as we keep taking back December, one holiday card at a time.

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

We're back with more Christmas Tree fun this week ... here's what we created.

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "This week I've used scraps of watercolor paper painted with Color Burst pigment powders, teamed with a brand new (to me) Echo Park tiny tree die to make a little winter scene encased in a faux Polaroid. I've also used one of my few remaining holiday Hambly (oh how I miss them!) transparencies to make a clear card base, and the current Sketch Saturday layout (#395), which is particularly fab, imo!"

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "I went hunting through my Christmas papers again and found this Christmas Tree background paper from BasicGrey's 25th & Pine.  I used the layout from Sunday Stamps and added a wrap of ribbon (why did I stop using ribbon).  It came together so quickly, I made a second one that you can see on my blog."

So now it's your turn to pull out the stamps, (rubber or postage, lol!) the stickers, or the pretty papers which contain a Christmas tree, use them to make a lovely new holiday card, and link up here by 6pm (EST) Wednesday,January 27th. Keyword for galleries or Flickr is JB:16:02.

Oh Christmas Tree

We know you just put your Christmas Tree away (although I heard rumors that some might still be enjoying the twinkling lights), but we're asking you to pull out a Christmas Tree from your crafty stash and make a holiday card.  It could be a die cut, a stamp, some origami, or perhaps some pretty holiday paper you've been hoarding ... just make sure your card includes a holiday tree.

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "As I was going through my stash, I realized a have quite a lot of discontinued holiday papers.  I found this trio of Christmas trees in some Kaiser Craft paper and built my card around it ... a border sticker, SRM Sticker sentiment and a few sequins make it come together quickly when your papers are pretty."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I recently acquired an envelope full of cancelled postage stamps from the 1970's, some of which are very pretty, like these red and green Santa ones, which I decided would make a really fun diecut xmas tree. I used one of my favorite (ancient!) dies (Sizzix's Tree, Christmas #2) to make that happen. I also used retro sketches #196 to guide the layout of my elements."

So now it's your turn to pull out the stamps, (rubber or postage, lol!) the stickers, or the pretty papers which contain a Christmas tree, use them to make a lovely new holiday card, and link up here by 6pm (EST) Wednesday, January 27th. Keyword for galleries or Flickr is JB:16:02.
