&
One winner will win the Ultimate Color Sampler Pack ($25 value!) from The Twinery!!!
The stamp set that I am working with from Stamps of Life is the "Joy2Christmas" set.
Here are my cards:
I made one of the Christmas trees a Santa tree by stamping the tree twice and paper piecing the bottom section of the tree. I added a fun twine hat topper to the top. I also tied french knots to add ornaments to the green trees.
For my second card I went with a softer color scheme.
I used the tag image from the stamp set to create 3 focal points and then stamped the solid tree image inside. I then used three beautiful twine colors, Honeydew, Blossom & Buttercream to create the decorations on the tree. I love these soft colors of Twinery Twine!
For my last card, I created a super clean & simple card.
I cut out the light bulbs from the stamp set and added glitter to one side and then popped them up with pop dots. The twine is a fabulous way to "hang" items on the card. I attached the twine to the top of the card with just a touch of clear glue. It holds very nicely!
