When I saw all of the decorative triangles in development, I immediately had to suggest that they add a stump for those triangles to become trees! The stamps were designed to fit the entire sides of the diamond-shaped ornament, and the die is to make windows in the sides of the ornament, so it's smaller than the stamps. But that's no problem, you can just die-cut a smaller portion of the larger stamped triangle.
I used gold embossing powder on my little trees so this card has a lot of shine going on. The solid tree was cut from some glitter cardstock in my stash, and the gold card base is something I had on hand as well. I used one of my new favorite tools (even though it's not new!) to create the scallop border - Planner Page Edges. I'm a longtime scallop fanatic.
The little message strip was done with an optional add-on set to this month's kit called Little Messages Stamp & Cut. I really love that long, skinny banner die - I know I'll be using it all the time!
Here's a look at the main kit:
There's also another stamp & cut set called Number It, an adorable clear set Mini Christmas, and a completely fabulous Holiday Words Stencil that I cannot wait to play with!
