Trees For Sale


As promised in this post, here is an idea using the Trees For Sale stamp set that doesn't use the now-retired coordinating dies. You can create your own patterned paper using the smaller elements of this set, and this works for ANY stamp set that has small elements! Don't know what to do with those random little stamps? There's your answer. 😉


I stamped the Soft Succulent panels (1-1/4" x 3-3/8") with Soft Succulent ink and matted them on Very Vanilla Glimmer (1-3/8" x 3-1/2") Specialty Paper. They were adhered directly to the Evening Evergreen card base. After wrapping the ribbon around and adhering the ends on the front of the card, the greeting (Evening Evergreen on Very Vanilla, cut with Stylish Shapes die) was popped up over it with dimensionals.


The bow is held on with a glue dot, and a few Festive Pearls completed the card. Easy peasy!

So....what about that giveaway I mentioned in the previous post? It so happens that I have ONE extra new-in-package set of Tree Lot Dies, as shown below (you know you want that cute, trendy camper!):


I will have a drawing at the end of this month to determine the winner of the dies. All you have to do is order the Trees For Sale stamp set to be entered in the drawing. I will keep track of orders, and draw a name from qualifying entries. 

There are several specials going on this month, too, so don't forget to check them out before you place your order!

CCM Saturday Blog Hop - Casing Cindy Elam

Today's Featured Designer CASE is ... now this is awkward ... ME. 😁 I hopped in the wayback machine (name that cartoon) and traveled back a year to September 2021, and chose this card to CASE:


I like this layout, and the gold pairs so perfectly with the Mint Macaron. So here is my CASE:


The Tasteful Textile embossing folder retired, but since a snowflake was the main focal point, the Wintry 3D snowflakes were just the ticket! I lightly sponged a little Mint Macaron ink on the raised parts so the snowflakes would stand out a bit more.


I really like that snowflake die in the Twinkling Lights Dies, and it can be cut just as an outline, too, and used as a greeting label. The die cut/ribbon strip on the original was replaced by a strip of Glittered Organdy Ribbon. Sadly, it doesn't really show well in the photo.


That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori at Loritamarie Crafts.
