Here's the first card - made just as Joanne designed it - more or less! I have to admit to using a tiny punched star at the top of my tree instead of the star stamp from the Pennant Parade set! I love the embossed dots on one side and the 'merry' element. You need 3 scalloped pennant punched shapes to make the 3d tree. Fold each shape in half, ink the edges, glue the shapes together and then glue the tree above the stamped pot.
I used my new Something for Christmas stamp for the inside of the card. I've wielded my craft knife and performed rubber surgery again - I've cut the stamp apart so I have 3 separate sentiments and I'm using them as unmounted cling stamps. I feel I'll get much more use out of the stamp this way, I don't think I'd have used the stamp with all 3 sentiments together. I LOVE this sentiment where you can colour the baubles, I'll definitely use this one the most!
For my second card I made another 3d tree but this time I used the sweet holly patterned paper from the Holly Berry Bouquet pack. My first card was made with Cherry Cobbler CS but for this one I chose Real Red. I used the Season's Greetings sentiment from the Something for Christmas stamp - stamping in VersaMark and embossing with the Wild Wasabi Stampin' Emboss powder. I trimmed a tad off the side of the card because I wanted my banner to go off the edge. I only needed to cut off a smidgen for the card to fit in a C6 envelope still. The Wasabi rectangle and the sentiment banner are both popped up.
Again, I used the Merry Christmas with baubles stamp for the inside of the card. I stamped and punched 3 trees for the front of the envelope and overlapped them at different heights. I cheated and used the star punch again!
