Wrapped in Plaid Pine Tree

Hello and welcome to my blog. I had a wonderful time in Dortmund at Stampin' Up!'s OnStage event. It was so inspiring! I came back home filled with happy memories and bursting with ideas. However, I have found it difficult to get my creative blogging momentum back on track, so apologies for my absence here last week. 


I'm back with a simple card done in two colourways. The Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper is a stack of Classic Christmas plaid patterned paper with gold foil accents. What could be more Christmassy? I have focused on Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White for the colours of the cards, but the stack also includes Night of Navy, another of my favourite colours.


To start the card I punched out the tree from an 8cm x 8cm square of card. There is a gap beneath the punched out tree that is perfect for a sentiment. To echo the gold foiling in the paper I gold heat embossed the words. 


I placed DSP behind the tree shaped hole, lining up the plaid and gold foiling or an even pattern. This top layer is mounted onto a contrasting 8.4cm x 8.4cm layer and then onto a small square card, measuring  9.9cm x 9.9cm. I like this size of card because you can cut three of them from one sheet of A4 card.


The final touch was to add a gold star to the top of the tree - this was left over from another project where I used the Stitched in Stars dies. It is satisfying to use up all the left over bits!
