Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop--Sale-a-Bration Tree Lot Dies Card

 

Our July Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop features Sale-a-Bration products! You can earn a FREE Sale-a-Bration product for EVERY $60 that you spend!! There are also some Level 2 rewards, that you earn for a $120 purchase! The card I created uses one of these Level 2 rewards--Tree Lot Dies. This is an amazing set, and contains 24 dies!! If you live in Canada, you can purchase $120 in my online store and choose this fabulous die set for FREE! The Tree Lot Dies coordinate with our Trees for Sale stamp set (#159785) in our new July to December Mini Catalogue.

I strayed from my usual blues to make this card, and used Soft Saffron, Mango Melody, Cajun Craze, and Cherry Cobbler--all added with Blending Brushes for the sky.

The trailer and trees are die cut with the Tree Lot Dies, and assembled.

I made the fire with some scraps of cardstock and glimmer paper. I used Splendid Stems Dies for the flames, but you could just cut them out with scissors. The logs were cut with the Tree Lot Dies.

Our Tree Lot Dies (#159938) coordinates with the Trees for Sale stamp set (#159785).
Remember that you save 10% when you purchase the stamps and dies as a bundle!

1. Cut the following layers:
• Evening Evergreen cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"

• scraps of gold glimmer paper, Soft Saffron, Calypso Coral, and Soft Suede cardstock--for fire; die cut Soft Suede with 3 logs die 
2. Cut a 1" circle from a Post-it note, and adhere to the Shimmery White layer for the sun.
3. Add ink to the Shimmery White layer--Soft Saffron, Mango Melody, Cajun Craze and Cherry Cobbler--with a Blending Brush (as shown in the photo above). 
4. Remove the Post-it note, and add Soft Saffron over the sun with a Blending Brush.
5. Stamp sentiment (mine is from Soft Seedlings) with Cherry Cobbler.

Soft Seedlings Thank You Card

Soft Seedlings Thank You Card

I used our Soft Seedlings stamp set to create this card. It is one of our "Distinktive" stamp sets, which gives a great variation and depth of colour by stamping only once. 

This card is a fun-fold card, which is fairly quick to make.

The Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder is gorgeous! Once the Shimmery White layer is dry embossed, I added colours with a Blending Brush.

I stamped a maple leaf inside, and a tab at the right folds the outer maple leaf over the front of the card.

Polished Dots finish off the card front.
