Hello and welcome to the Creating With Scraps Blog Hop where we are using scraps to create our projects today. I have used scraps of the pretty Winter Meadow designer Series Paper to make my pretty striped tree card.
Colours in this card are:
To recreate the striped tree card, you will need:
Lost Lagoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pretty Peacock card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Pretty Peacock card – 2” by ⅜”
From scrap offcuts of Winter Meadow Designer series paper (dsp), I cut a number of strips ¼” or ⅜” wide.

Using the Merriest Trees Dies I die cut the largest tree from the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card. The negative piece was then embossed with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder.

I placed the die cut tree onto the Pretty Peacock panel and used a pencil to lightly draw around the shape. This would give me a guide when adding my strips of dsp.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I added each strip of dsp to the Pretty Peacock layer, trimming off the excess dsp as I went.

The embossed panel was then mounted over the top of the strips on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the retired Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set, was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Pretty Peacock card. I had masked off the bottom of the sentiment prior to inking it up as I only wanted the ‘merry christmas’.

The stamped sentiment was covered with White Embossing Powder and set with my Heat Tool before being added to the card front.

A trio of Iridescent Faceted Gems finished the card.
