Aspen Tree Dies

Finishing Up Friday – Aspen Tree Dies

~ Karen Young

This week’s Finishing Up Friday uses pre-cut pieces from this Card & (Your) Cuppa project.

The tree cut out and embossed leaves are from the Aspen Tree Dies from the July-December Mini Catalogue. Other leaves are cut from the Forever Flourishing Dies and Poppy Moments Dies.

Splats from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set are stamped tone-on-tone onto the rear Crumb Cake piece to create a background.

I then used a Sponge Dauber and added some colour to the trees and also to the leaves.

When sticking the tree piece to the background piece, I only used glue around the edges. This then shows more depth through the trees.

Three of the leaves are tied together with a piece of coordinating Baker’s Twine from the Essentials pack, with the other two leaves stuck to the side.

A sentiment from the Nuts About Squirrel Stamp Set is again stamped tone-on-tone and this is attached to the leaves.

Finally, the whole leaves and sentiment pieces is raised up on Dimensionals.

Christmas Card Club 2022 – June

~ Karen Young

My first Christmas Card Club project for 2022 went live on 25th June and this is the card.

Each month, between June and November, I am designing a Christmas Card.

Every person who signs up for that month receives all the cardstock, envelopes and embellishments to make 2 of the design.

They are then given a link to a video that demonstrates how to create the projects at home in their own time.

I had made the robins ages ago when I got my hands on the new Songbird Builder Punch from the Annual Catalogue. These are Soft Suede, Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight, with eyes drawn with a Stampin’ Write Marker.

However, I was having trouble deciding on a background for them. Then, the July-December Mini Catalogue provided the perfect solution with the fabulous Aspen Trees Dies.

A Crumb Cake basecard and embossed cut out, with a Very Vanilla piece between gives the robins somewhere to perch.

Finally, some Champagne Rhinestones are dotted around to look like stars on a late winter afternoon.

Why not join me for one, or all of the remaining months. Bookings close on the 9th of each month.

Last Week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa – Aspen Trees Dies

~ Karen Young

With the new Mini Catalogue and SAB offering, last week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa project used the new Aspen Trees Dies.

This masculine project used the dies to create the tree backgroun and some of the leaves. Other leaves came from the Poppy Moments Dies and the Forever Flourishing Dies.

I chose Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Garden Green and Basic White for my colour combination.

The leaves were arranged behing the sentiment, taken from the new Soft Seedling Stamp Set, also in the Mini Catalogue.

Lengths of the Ribbon Combo Pack, in Sahara Sand and Old Olive sit behind the sentiment.

Finally, the whole piece, including the background cutout is raised up on Dimensionals to give some extra depth through the trees.
