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!
