Tree Angle

This week I’m focusing on the stamp set Tree Angle. It’s a 15 piece photopolymer set for only $17 (153442). I also found that it coordinates with the Stitched Triangle dies although I didn’t use them on this card.

I started by stamping the greeting in versamark and sprinkled on gold embossing powder. Before heating it, I stamped the ornaments in poppy parade so that I wouldn’t get poppy parade on top of the gold which would then smear onto the card. Yes, that’s what happened to the first sample! After heating the powder, I adhered the beautiful ribbon from All The Trimmings across the card. The ribbon is a two pack combo featuring poppy parade and old olive with gold edges. Next it was glued onto some gold foil and then mounted onto the piece of poppy parade that I’d run through the Winter Snow embossing folder. Finally I added this all to a poppy parade card base.

This is one of the cards that I showed on my Facebook live earlier this morning.

Tree Angle

This week I’m focusing on the stamp set Tree Angle. It’s a 15 piece photopolymer set for only $17 (153442) and makes Christmas card making simple and fun. After I found that the Stitched Triangle dies coordinate with this set, I made a number of trees and die cut them so I had a selection to play with. The coordination with the die set makes it really good value – as long as you also buy the Right Triangle bundle as well.

This tree is a 2 step stamp – the outline and dotted lines were stamped first in shaded spruce. After that, the stars were heated embossed in gold although they don’t seem to twinkle in the photo. As before, the trunk was stamped in early espresso.

The sentiment comes from the Tree Angle set and is heat embossed in gold onto a very vanilla card base. I’d advise doing the heat embossing on the card base before attaching the top layer matted in shaded spruce. Just in case!

This is another of the cards that I’ll be showing on my Facebook live next Sunday at 11am EST.

Tree Angle

This week I’m focusing on the stamp set Tree Angle. It’s a 15 piece photopolymer set for only $17 (153442) and to my delight I discovered that it does indeed coordinate with the Stitched Triangle dies. It looked like it might, and it does.

So I stamped some of the trees using real red and shaded spruce and then cut them out using the stitched triangle dies. I love the poinsettia one, it’s just too Christmassy for words! Perhaps it was my delight with this little tree which led me to adding a bow to it. The beautiful red ribbon with gold edges is from the All the Trimmings Combo ribbon pack where it’s paired with an old olive version (153541, $8). Early Espresso was used for the trunks.

The sentiment comes from the Tree Angle set and is stamped in shaded spruce. The whole very vanilla layer was glued to a shaded spruce card base and gilded gems adorn the top of the trees.

This is one of the cards that I’ll be showing on my Facebook live next Sunday at 11am EST.
