Trim the Tree Once More in Peace

What a whirlwind of a week!  I love when I have a line-up of cards to show you, but it sure takes a lot to get them all blogged, lol.  I can never get enough of all your blog loving, though, so here we go again!

I really hope you haven't quite had enough of this design, but I promise it is this last one I have to show you!  (For now.)  ;)  I took a third type of Christmas tree stamp, from the Trim the Tree My Acrylix, along with the Framework Alphabet set to make this version.  THIS one was pretty much all about the bling!

My gold embossing went awry somehow for the star.  I suspect the embossing powder may have aged a bit, but maybe I just didn't get it covered well enough either...so I just bejeweled it with the star from Close to My Heart's new Sparkle Holiday Shapes!  LOVE these!

The tree is stamped in Pear Exclusive Ink (dye) and blinged up with miscellaneous colored rhinestones that I received from a recent crop I attended AND another shape from the Sparkle Holiday Shapes.  I love this tree because it totally BEGS for BLING!  ;)

What do you think?  Which one is YOUR favorite tree I have used in this design so far?  Here is a quick re-cap!  :)

Yep, the last two are the same tree, lol...you caught me!  ;) 

Trim the Tree with LIGHTS!

Hey everyone!  I had some great playtime yesterday, and came up with a wonderfully "bright" idea to highlight my favorite ever Stamp of the Month from Close to My Heart!  :)

 

I used the new Trim the Tree My Acrylix to stamp these lights in Ruby, Honey, Pear, and Lagoon Ink. This versatile set is a STEAL at only 6.95!  This is really an ornament stamp that coordinates with a cut on the Art Philosophy Cartridge, but it sure makes a fantastic Christmas light!  I even added a little bling with the Sparkle Holiday Shapes to one of the lights for emphasis.  The sentiment and little flash/shine stamp are from the November 2013 Stamp of the Month, Illuminate.

I used my stash of retired waxy flax (sniff, sniff) and little pieces of Silver Shimmer Trim to complete the strand of lights.

You can do this card a hundred different ways by changing the color of the bulbs or the color of the mat.  I can't wait to play some more!  Simon Says Stamp is going CAS for their Wednesday challenge, so I am linking up!  :)

REMEMBER!!!!  The Stamp of the Month is only here until the end of November, so don't wait to get yours!  It is $17.95 regular price or just $5 with a $50 purchase on my website!
