I’m back with some Spellbinders projects featuring the Essential Holiday Collection by Lisa Horton. One of the products featured on all of these projects is the Nested Tree Frames and I was immediately enamoured with the adorable layered tree die!
The Nested Tree Frames includes four layers of frames and I used the two largest frames here, in Mahogany and Crimson. I cut the tree from Pink Sand, Ruby Linen, Silver Glitter and Mahogany cardstock.
Before assembling the card, I used Mulled Wine ink to press the sentiment from the Essential Tag Accessories Press Plate on to the previously die cut rectangle from Nested Tree Frames. I cut an A2 panel of Ruby Gingham for the card base before popping on the frames and trees with foam squares.
For my second card, I wanted a pop of colour to contrast the first card so I chose Waterfall for the card base. I added texture using the Sparkling Snow 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I die cut the Nested Tree layers from Pink Sand, Ruby Linen, Ruby Gingham, Crimson and Mahogany cardstock. The ornaments I added to the trees were cut from Silver Glitter cardstock.
I heat foiled this beautiful sentiment from the Glitter Wishes Glimmer Hot Foil Plate using Espresso Bean Hot Foil on Snowdrift cardstock and die cut it using one of the fishtail dies from Mini Everyday Sentiments.
I was so excited to see a tag set as part of the Essential Holiday Collection and the Essential Tag Accessories Press Plates will get lots of use! I used the same colours from the first two cards, switching up the look of the trees with colourful snowy trims. I rotated the colours for the tags themselves so each tag would feature all the colours.
The sentiments from the Essential Tag Accessories Press Plate were heat foiled with both Espresso Bean Hot Foil and Matte Silver Hot Foil. The ‘O Christmas Tree’ sentiment was a little long for the die cut so I used partial die cutting to extend it. To finish, I combined Valentine’s Day baker’s twine and silver metallic cord for the perfect match.
