Festive Tree Week – Day 3 – First Posted: Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Well I hope you guys are enjoying Festive Tree Week and you will find an image or two that appeals to you. I’ve been enjoying the challenge of using 7 relatively similar digis in different ways as examples of how they can be used. I had some in mind when I made the images but some I’m having to do on the fly and it’s kinda cool so I’m sure I’ll do this ‘week of’ idea again :)

I wanted to create a forest type scene for todays card by staggering the digi in differing sizes, I used photoshop for this. I ran some vellum through my big shot embossing it with the snowflakes fiskars texture plate and attached it to the front of my image with brads to make it look like it is snowing where the trees are. I stamped my sentiment onto a tag and layered a vellum tag over to match and popped it under one of the brads and added some ribbon, glitter and fibers to add to the pale snow-ey effect.

Festive Tree Week – Day 2 – First Posted: Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Here’s the second of this weeks festive tree digis. I made this one with paper piecing in mind although you could just as easily colour it in with markers or pencils etc.

I sized my image to 5 inches in Word and printed it onto 3 different patterned papers from the same pack (so I knew that they would work together). I used one as the base and cut the other 2 into pieces, I aged all pieces with brown ink and stuck them down with a glue stick. I cut some of the left over paper into the pot, star and scallop punch embellishment and added some co-ordinating buttons.

Festive Tree Week – Day 1 – First Posted: Monday, October 19, 2009

Here’s the first of 7 Festive Tree Digital Stamps that I will be posting this week, I hope that you will be able to find something that you like amongst them.

I changed the colour of my digi and sentiment in photoshop, I turned them into a sandy shade which tones well with the gold in the card.  I copy and pasted my trees to ensure that they were the exact size, added some brads and glittery matting. I embossed the white backgroud card stock with Fiskars snowflakes texture plate in the big shot, I cut my sentiment out with an oval punch added a scallop punch out and some high shine ribbon for a Christmas-ey feel and a ton of dimensional foam pads.
