#CTC380 CASE a Christmas Tree Project

CASE a Christmas Tree Project

I've chosen this card above to the left on Page 13 of the July-December mini catalogue and pretty much CASEd it as it appeared.

Using the Spruced Up Outlines Dies, I've die cut small trees in Evening Evergreen, Garden Green and Granny Apple Green. 

Onto a base of Evening Evergreen, I've attached a layer of Pretty Prints DSP. Over that I've popped a piece of Vellum Layering Designs by just attaching adhesive to the centre of the vellum so it won't be seen. The edges of the vellum float a little bit and appear wonky in the photo because it's only grounded in the middle.

Next I've adhered the trees and outlines in place. The greeting is from Christmas Scottie, stamped in Evening Evergreen onto Basic White and diecut with a hexagon from the Beautiful Shapes Dies then added to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. The card was finished with a few (retired) Flowers for Every Season Gems.

I chose not to use the stamps on the trees as in the original. Another option which would have made this fun, would have been to use an embossing folder on the solid trees as I did the last time I used the Spruced Up Outlines Dies.

The crew would love to see you play along by CASEing a Christmas Tree Project and adding your photo to our Facebook page before next Sunday evening. There's a link over on the right if you need it.

Next up we have our lovely friend Tina and her fabulous baubles card:

I love being able to utilise scraps to make cards and this certainly happened with this card. I store my scraps in concertina file folders by colour family. Basic Black is stored with my Neutrals still so I grabbed a little piece of that along with the Brights folder.

Using the Spruced Up Outlines Dies, I've cut trees from Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo and Flirty Flamingo. These were run through the Cut & Emboss machine inside the Painted Texture 3D Embossing folder to add a bit of texture. 

I've embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing folder and attached it to the base of Night of Navy cardstock. I've switched the orientation to landscape over the portrait case card. I've glued the trees down in much the same colour order as the original. The greeting from Christmas Scottie was inked in Night of Navy ink onto a scrap of Basic White and popped in place. In lieu of a caravan I've punched the Basic Black card with the Scottie Dog Punch and added that to the edge of the greeting.

That little dog is just so darn cute!

Wonder what you might be inspired to CASE from the Sale-a-bration catalogue? We hope to see your creation added to our Facebook page (use the link over on the right if you need to) before next Sunday evening.

Next we are off to Julia and her super cute foliage card:
