Modern Christmas Tree

I have another red, black, and white Christmas card to share for three challenges. First, AAA Cards: Made in Minutes/Optional Christmas. This might be one of the fastest cards I’ve made this season. Second, The Paper Players where it’s a theme challenge: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and finally, the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Fun with Dies.

My card is simple, but striking. It was quick enough to make that I made several of them.

Creating it involved two dies–my favorite Stitched Rectangle by Simon Says and the modern Christmas tree (“Winterland Tree”) by Memory Box, and one stamp: “Sentiment Suite: Christmas” by The Greetery.

After adhering the die cut to the black panel, I added some favorite red pearls from A Muse and bumped the panel out for a bit of dimension with some black fun foam. The sentiment was embossed in white and die cut with Simon Says “Sentiment Labels.” I resisted that purchase until a recent sale, and it was a great purchase. No more cutting these strips with a paper cutter or by hand – perfectly straight the first time!
