Hi everyone! Today it's a trio of triangle trees x 3. I've been meaning to make some triangle trees and now is the time, seeing as how I'm inspired by some Christmas-themed challenges which I'll list further down.
I think the white is my favorite, but I do like the kraft cards as well. All the card bases are 111 lb wood grain cardstock. The trees are made from some of my first ever dies -- Spellbinders Nested Pennants. The set is a mix of triangles, pennant shapes, and flags.
The peace words are three layers for dimension. The stars are cut from glitter paper. I used scraps for the trees and mixed them up. Sparkle and glimmer shown below:
The challenges:
Snippets Playground Challenge #433 -- Christmas in July. Everything but the card bases are snippets or scraps. I always go for the smallest available parts.
I'm keeping it quick and easy today -- just like the cards. I'll see you again very soon. Have a great day!
Dies: Spellbinders Nested Pennants and Long Classic Rectangles, Memory Box Peace Cheshire Script, MFT Die-namics Stacking Stars Paper: Kraft and white wood grain 111 lb cardstock, copper glitter cardstock, Cougar vanilla, Copic X-Press It white, Memory Box Christmas Plaid designer paper

ReplyDeleteOh, I love your sweet trees made from snippets. You are on a creative roll, and the results are so festive. I too love the white best. Somehow it's that pop of brightness. The kraft and cream highlight those plaids beautifully.

What a great way to use up scraps, Leslie. Your triangle trees are fabulous with the mix of plaids. xx
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great way to make Christmas cards and so very effective. I remember doing something very similar a few years ago when I was still quite new to the card making world and I was so pleased with them. Thanks for reminding me. I shall remember it in case I need cards in a rush as I haven't made a single xmas card yet. Thanks for the inspiration. The plaid papers are a brilliant idea. I think I like the third one best xx
ReplyDeleteThese are great. Love the plaid paper patterns and how festive they look as trees.
ReplyDeleteHow fun and a great idea..love your trio of trees!
ReplyDeleteFabulous designs, great use of snippets and dies. Well done on being showcased in the playground.
ReplyDeleteyou had me at triangle trees!!!! Love these so much
ReplyDeleteI adore these Trios of Triangular Trees! Such a simple and effective use of the pennants! And what a great way to use us those little scraps of tartan which are far too lovely to throw out! Congrats on your well-deserved Playground Showcase!
