Tic Tac Toe Challenge #140

 Another card for today…

  

I chose top row, across: stripes, circle, & gold.

I started this card with a piece of Thick White cardstock cut at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".  The striped DSP is from the Sale-A-Bration FREEBIE called Peaceful Prints.  This was cut at 4" x 5 1/4" and matted on a piece of Black cardstock measuring 4 1/4" x 5 3/8".  A piece of gold ribbon was wrapped around the card front with the bow tied using the gold braid from Simply Elegant Trim, Item # 155766.

I used the Layering Circles to cut a piece of White cardtock plus the gold coss-hatch and the Real Red scallop circle.  I layered all my circles using wet glue.

Next the darling little trees were cut using some of the other papers from the Peaceful Pines DSP, using the tiny little trees from the Christmas Trees Dies, Item # 156339.  Three of the Five trees were adhered using Mini Dimensionals, Item #144108 and a bit of wet glue at the base of the trunks; the other Two trees were glued down entirely with wet glue.  All of the trees received a "coat" of Wink of Stella.

Did you know the Dimensionals also come in Black? 

The"let your light shine sentiment is from the Whimsical Trees set, Item # 156330. 

I've embellished using Three of the acrylic shapes fro Gingerbread & Peppermint, Item #156322 and brand new Classic Matte Dots, Item #158146.

What do you think?  All or some of the products used can be purchased through me with the exception of the DSP as it was a special deal only available August - September.  I also teach card classes in Ventura, CA - contact me should you be interested!

I tried to think outside the box, well my Type A box anyway!  Below is a picture, the second piture is a close up view of the details.

I love these tiny little trees from the Christmas Trees Die Set, Item 156339.  Both the plaid and the snowflake designer series paper are from the same sheet in the Peaceful Place DSP Pack, Item #156394.

      

I started with a piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock measuring 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" to create the card base.  Next I cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock at 4" x 5 1/4" and embossed using the Evergre Forest EF, Item # 153576.  The trees were die cut from each of the pieces from Peaceful Place Speciaty DSP, Item # 156394 and popped up with mini Dimensonals on a white circle cut from the Layered Circles Dies, Item # 141770.  My sentiment is from the For Unto Us stamp set, Item # 153335 - on of my new favorites for Christmas sentiments!  The sentiment wa fussy-cut and adhered to a crap of Silver.  A few pearls, White Glittered Ribbon (Item # 156408) tied in a sweet bos, Dimensionals and heres a sweet little Chirstmas all wrapped up for someone special!
