Merry Christmas Tree for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone and happy Saturday!! It's my turn to post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog and I have a couple of Christmas cards to share with you featuring the Merry Christmas Tree DIGI906BG stamp set.

For my cards, I used a Tonic Jasmine Sunset Layering Die for the shape of the cards. Super Adhesive Sheets were applied to the base layer, and then covered with Gypsy Red glitter. For the next layer, I used a Prima Stencil and Nuvo Embellishment Mousse Seaspray Green for texture.

I applied a Super Adhesive Sheets to cardstock, and then cut it out with a Tonic Sunray Venus die. It was then covered with Irish Isle glitter. I used a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval to cut out the image. The frame was covered with Christmas Cheer glitter. Believe was also covered with Gypsy Red glitter and I used a Nuvo Crystal Drops Simply White to dot the I.

I first covered the Christmas tree with a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen for some amazing sparkle. I love these pens!! Then I covered it with Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

It's pretty much impossible to tell in the pictures, but I used a Nuvo Smooth Precision Glue Pen and then added a strip of Crystal Ice glitter to the poinsettias.

Several members of the design team participated in a Christmas card exchange and I drew my dear sweet, long-time friend Sherrie of Sherrie Scraps With Passion!! I created this card / Christmas ornament for Sherrie using papers from Maja Designs.

I layered Sizzex Tim Holtz Tree Line dies in the background. The poinsettias are Sizzix Pillow Box Poinsettia dies, with stamens from Wild Orchid Crafts. Tucked under the flowers are Impression Obsession Pine Branches and Impression Obsession Pine Sprigs.

A Memory Box Snowflake Swell die was added to the bottom half of the card. The sentiment is from Altenew and it was stamped on a Sue Wilson Pierced Flag die. I added Prills for texture.

A Memory Box Snowflake Wire was adhered over the lace. The base of the ornament is a Spellbinders Star die. Memory Box Star of Wonder dies were covered with glitter and added to both the card and ornament.
