I have to admit that I completely scraplifted today's project. I saw some Christmas pyramid trees in a catalogue and loved them so much that I copied them... using My Craft Spot products!! I designed the pyramid trees using George and Basic Shapes and my Gypsy. The stars on both trees are also cut using George and Basic Shapes. The gift is from Joys of the Seasons and the flourish is from Accent Essentials.
The wonderful "Joy to the World" sentiment is from the NEW My Craft Spot Stampin' Around Christmas set - as is the tiny nativity stamp. (I just LOVE that little stamp!) I used My Craft Spot Tiny Doilies metal dies for the sentiment tag and shadow. I used My Craft Spot Vanilla Bean crinkle ribbon for my bow and added some natural jute string (a new product at My Craft Spot) on the bow and on the buttons on both trees. These trees will go on the shelf above my desk at work.

Hello, The title of your blog intrigued me because I make cards too, but I mostly use scrap things I have. I don't use any machines or die cuts, mostly because I dont have them, and I have not tried stamping yet, although I want to. I love the colors you chose for your blog as well, very inviting. You have beautiful ideas here so I decided to follow you and see what else you come up with. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGreat trees!! Such a cute little treat container!
ReplyDeletegreat way to use a cartridge and thinking outside the box love the tree
