Trendy Tree Tops Day Five

Hello you guys! I'm back today with a final peek at my new set... Trendy Tree Tops before it's available for purchase tomorrow through Papertrey Ink. Today I wanted to focus on embellishing these little trendy trees, so let me get right to it...

First up, rhinestones! Using the grass image from Hanging Out, I stamped a row at the bottom of the Rustic Cream card front (masking off a 1/2" on both sides) in Simply Chartreuse. Then a Trendy Tree Tops trunk in Dark Chocolate.Topped the tree trunk off with a Berry Sorbet tree top and then added a bit of sparkle using clear rhinestones. Finished the card off with a Trendy Tree Tops sentiment.Last but not lease, I added a few blooms to this sweet little sympathy card. I attached an embossed border along the base, stamped the tree trunk in Dark Chocolate, the bird tree top in Spring Moss and the leaves in Simply Chartreuse. Then livened things up a bit with a few tiny Orange Zest flowers (from Hanging Out). Stamped a heartfelt sentiment (from Beautiful Butterflies), wrapped with a ribbon bow and finished the card off with a die cut Hawaiian Shores bird.

Well, that concludes day five of the countdown. I truly hope that you have enjoyed and were inspired by all that I have shared the past few days. Just remember... this set is available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning April 15th, for $15. In the mean time, if you do happen to add this set to your collection... I'd love to see what you come up with, so please feel free to share!

Framed Out #3 and Trendy Tree Tops Day 4

Howdy everyone! Welcome back, so glad you could join me for day 4 of the Papertrey Ink April Countdown. For today my focus is on showcasing a couple of sets... Framed Out #3 by Heather Nichols and my set once again... Trendy Tree Tops. Both of which are sets that I am currently loving! So, let me get started...First up, this little number featuring Framed Out #3 all on its own. The smaller frame makes a statement when stamped across a card front, I just love this pattern. I've stamped it in a color combo of Hawaiian Shores, Melon Berry and Simply Chartreuse.Stamped a sentiment banner and attached it across the card front with dimensional adhesive. Finished the card off with a couple Smokey Shadow buttons.For my next card I've worked with another single image from Framed Out #3, the tiny "HI!" circle.I hand stamped a pattern strip in a color combo of Berry Sorbet, Melon Berry and Summer Sunrise and then layered a Trendy Tree Tops sentiment, in True Black, on top. Attached the stamped panel over cardstock strips of Berry Sorbet and Summer Sunrise.Next up, another combination of Framed Out #3 and Trendy Tree Tops. I began by hand stamping a pattern paper using the plaid circle in a color combo of Melon Berry, Summer Sunrise and Harvest Gold. Then attached the stamped panel to a white card base using dimensional adhesive.I then die cut the heart circle and used the tiny hearts to...Embellish each plaid circle. Then finished the card of with a sentiment, frame and rhinestones.Up next are a couple layered tree cards. This one has a bit of a masculine look with a color combo of Soft Stone, Smokey Shadow, Simply Chartreuse and Kraft.I die cut a couple kraft colored hills and attached them to the card base at different dimensions. I then assembled a layered tree and adhered it between the hills.This ones a little more girly. I began by pulling out a few Jillibean Soup pattern papers out of my stash.Again, I die cut and layered a couple hills and tucked a pattern paper tree in between. Then finished the card off with a button and a stamped sentiment (which happens to be the only stamping on this card, gasp!)Lastly, a card featuring the Trendy Tree Tops Die Collection. I began by die cutting four 1 3/4" circles from different Melon Berry pattern papers and then attached them to a Rustic White card base.

Then die cut three Trendy Tree Tops heart circles from Melon Berry cardstock. Stamped one with a Strawberry Patch sentiment (again, the only stamping) and attached over the pattern paper circles with dimensional adhesive. Finished the card off with the remaining die cut hearts.

Well, that's it from me today but do remember... both of these sets will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning April 15th. In the mean time, I'd love to know what you think so far, so please share!

Trendy Tree Tops Day Three

Hi there! Just popping in today to share a couple more samples using the latest addition to my Stamping Simply lineup... Trendy Tree Tops. Let me get right to it!... Today, I wanted to focus on the layering abilities of these Trendy Tree Tops images and the coordinating Trendy Tree Tops dies. First up a layered heart tree.I die cut and stamped the heart tree top and layered it over a die cut Melon Berry notched flower (from the soon to be release Notched Flower Die Collection). Die cut a Smokey Shadow trunk and attached. Finished the card off with a sentiment and a gray rhinestone.For the last card of today, I've added a layer of felt. I began this card by stamping the bird cage (from Love Birds) in Hawaiian Shores ink. I then layered a Trendy Tree Tops bird and sentiment over the cage.Next, I topped the card off with a layered branch. Here's A Note: The 1 3/4 circle (from the Limitless Layers: 1 3/4" Circle Die Collection) creates the perfect mat layer for any of the tree tops included in the Trendy Tree Tops collection. I die cut and stamped both the tree top and branch and attached together. Then layered the tree top over a die cut felt circle and adhered directly to the card base.

Well, that's all I've got for you today. Just remember... this set is available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning April 15th, for $15. In the mean time, I'd love to know what you think so far, so please feel free to share!

Trendy Tree Tops Day Two

Hey there! Thanks for joining me for day two of the Papertrey ink April Countdown. I'm back today to bring you more of my new set... Trendy Tree Tops and from the looks of it, it sounds as if some of you are as excited about this set as I am. So let me get started with a couple more samples. This time around, I'm thinking a little out of the box and veering from the traditional tree image...First up... the branch. Turned the tree trunk onto its side and stamped in Smokey Shadow ink. Die cut a file folder type edge from Soft Stone cardstock, stamped with a sentiment, wrapped with ribbon and attached to the card base.Topped the branch off with the circular bird image in Spring Moss ink and then layered the leaves in Simply Chartreuse ink. Die cut the heart (more on this later) from Hawaiian Shores cardstock, added a touch of Glossy Accents and attached.Up next... the circular focal image. Stamped a row of circles (same image used yesterday) in a fun color combo onto a white card base. Finished the card off with a sentiment from Think Big Favorites #15.

Well, that concluded my second look at Trendy Tree Tops. Just remember... this set is available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning April 15th, for $15. In the mean time, I'd love to know what you think so far, so please feel free to share!

Introducing Trendy Tree Tops Day One

I'm back this month with a new stamp set for the April Papertrey Ink release, I'm happy to introduce to you... Trendy Tree Tops. Trendy Tree Tops is a fresh and new tree building set. This set features 1 tree trunk with 4 interchangeable tree tops, 3 coordinating images and 4 uniquely detailed sentiments. To top it all off... a set of 4 dies coordinate beautifully with the entire set. Trendy Tree Tops stamp set will be sold for $15, beginning April 15th at Papertrey Ink.


How about a couple samples?!...First up, a simple stamping of a tree top, trunk and a sentiment. I kept things super simple to really let the detailing in this tree top image be the star of the show. Stamped the tree top in Melon Berry and the trunk and sentiment in Smokey Shadow. Finished the card off with an embossed cardstock strip and a couple Fine Linen buttons.Next up, a single layer card... which I started by stamping the three tree trunks in Smokey Shadow ink along the base of the card front.Stamped the tree tops in a color combo of Melon Berry, Simply Chartreuse and Aqua Mist. Then finished the card off with a sentiment.

That's it from me today, but I've still got a lot more to share! So, I hope you'll join me for the remainder of the countdown!
