We're doing a summertime Shape-Up at Jingle Belles … making shaped holiday cards … anything other than a square or rectangle is fair game.
I thought a Christmas Tree shaped card would be fun, so I embossed my long-neglected Christmas Tree die on some patterned paper … but unfortunately, the embossing got lost in the patterns, so I was going to throw it away and try again. However, when I turned over the paper, I saw the back was a gorgeous solid ivory metallic, so I decided to use the de-bossed image for my design.
I hand-cut the tree and then attached it to an olive green card base and hand-cut the border. I added lots of twinkling *lights* and a sparkling star to finish my design.
I'm also joining the Christmas Card Challenge, where the theme is anything goes and Party Time Tuesday where they're celebrating Christmas in July.
Oh I’m so glad this one didn’t hit the recycle bin! That debossing is fantastic. Great hand cutting too…I can’t cut a straight line without my trimmer, lol! Perfect amount of twinkling lights too. Oh, and at Virgina’s View challenge, it’s also a shaped card… Have a great weekend.
