There are so many cute images in this set, but I was drawn to the long background builder stamp. So many possibilities! I saw waves, fish scales, clouds, and...Christmas trees! For my first tree card, I hand cut the tree and popped it up on to the card. I added a few cardinals that I cut out with my Silhouette, but you could also try embellishing with ribbon bows, gems, or sequins. Nice and CAS (great if you need to make multiples;).
For this next project, I used the negative die cut to create a tree tag. For decoration, I used paint dots. {BTW, I use Tulip Beads in a Bottle paint which gives perfectly round dots} If you have a Silhouette, click here for the cut file for this tag! {Please note the terms of use for this cut file here}
For my last Fanfare card, I used the same stamp with a completely different look! I heat embossed the stamp in white and blended a rainbow over it! It's almost therapeutic to blend ink like this:) Messy but lots of fun!

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love how you used that background builder stamp ... you really worked it! The trees are just perfect for that, who knew?!
