A Trim Tree!

Another speedy post this morning to combine three challenges!

Mandi and Chrissie at Less is More are looking for green on our cards this week so that means another chance for a Christmas card.... who am I kidding, loads still to make!!
CASual Fridays have a 'Tic-Tac-Toe' board to play along with and Young Crafters Unite want to see die-cutting this month :)
With all those 'specs' and the inspiration of Aimes brilliant Christmas tree here this is what I came up with.....


I've used 4 different Pink Petticoat papers in 4 different greens and die cut scallops and strips to place behind a tree shape cut with my Cricut machine and then raised the white panel up from the card base with foam tape. I used a variety of punches and Dienamics dies for the scallops and a PTI Christmas sentiment!


I chose the vertical route of scallops/ Green/ Stripes from the Tic Tac Toe board.... I hope my strips of card count as stripes!!!!




I just wanted to let you know that I'm taking part in the second Lawnscaping Blog Hop this Friday and would love you to come back and join in the fun.... with the whole weekend to hop through the inspirational projects and prizes too, who could refuse??


Right that's me done.... need to get a wiggle on so I can look through all the lovely 'Green' entries later when I've got some free time!!
Thanks for your visit and hope you have a lovely, if chilly, day!

  1. This is absolutely stunning Jenny... I think I will be doing something similar before too long... although I do not have an electronic cutting machine... but I'm sure that hurdle can be overcome!
    Thanks so much
