CAS Christmas Tree

Hello and happy Monday!  I hope you're well and keeping spirits up.  All is good when I'm in my stamp room and my Golden Retriever bubble where I can set everything else aside.  Speaking of which,  I set the summery cards aside for the moment so I can play along in the CAS Christmas Card Challenge.  The prompt is "Christmas Tree".  I could do a million of 'em with all the different Christmas tree stamps in my collection, but for now I have these two:



I used one Bugaboo digital stamp called Christmas Tree Row.  The digi image is a row of 6 trees, cut down the middle to make two cards.  Unfortunately the Stickles glitter did not photograph very prettily, tsk tsk.  I took multiple pics, the glitter was dry... too much time spent, so I called this one good.


CAS Christmas -- Christmas Tree

NBUS #18 -- My Bugaboo digi is a first time use.




All done for Monday Fun Day!  I'm running a little behind this week so I'm not certain when I'll pop in again.  It all depends on how the stars line up... or something.  Take care! 




Stamps:  Bugaboo Christmas Tree Row digi, Hero Arts Christmas Greetings  Paper:  Neenah Classic Crest Super Smooth Solar White, Bazzil white card base, red for mat, glitter paper scrap, Echo Park Story of Christmas designer paper  Ink:  Printer, Memento Tuxedo Black  Coloring:  Copics  Other:  Sizzix Primitive Stars die, Stickles Golden Rod, Holiday Red, and Stardust glitter

I always have a hard time photographing sparkle! Actually I can see yours so you did quite a good job with it! I love these little trees and and I imagine your Christmas pile must be growing! Have a great week my friend!

What a clever idea to split this one in half to create two cards ... and how sweet they are! I can see the sparkle ... well done! Happy week to you Leslie! Hugs

Welcome back, Monday Fun Day! I see the sparkles and these sweet cards scream fresh and fun to me! I love the simple coloring and soft hints of blue. And thinking of you in your Golden Retriever Bubble! Stay well.

I love Monday Funday! These are both adorable of course. So simple, so easy. Glad that you are able to enjoy some happy time in your stamp room with your furry babies. BTW, do you allow Wally and Lulu in your stamp room when you are creating?

Fabulous cards Leslie! And to get 2 cards out of one digi image - bonus! I always love your whimsical cards, I never seem to do whimsical, but I love them. I can see all your glitter on the cards and that added glilttered star is perfect! CAS - love them! Have a good week Leslie! Hugs,

I love how you were able to get two cards out of one stamp, the stickles show up nicely and like your added star on the side.

Hope you all are staying safe out there!

What a cute Christmas card - and nice that you were able to make two cards from the one stamp. You always take such great pictures. This is something I have to work on. Definitely not my forte. I have to stop making Christmas cards and start making Halloween cards. Sorry to say no goodies for the Wellness Center this year as it is still not open. Have a great and safe week!
