Trees from strips and scraps

I have a few more cards made from leftovers today; I love leftovers, especially the ones in the fridge but the paper ones are nice too! The card above is my favourite of the mix and it is so simple, just strips and stars. I stamped one of those strips with a music background stamp but the rest are just patterned or gold shimmer cardstock.

I made use of one tree die for the rest of today’s cards, it’s from Penny Black’s ‘evergreen tree‘ die set. The trees above are cut from stamped and patterned paper. The tree below I cut from a piece of kraft that I had coloured my own plaid pattern on with coloured pencils and a gel pen. It was fun but not necessary if you want to be quick. The pretty music stamp featured below is from Darkroom Door and the larger one above from Penny Black.

The final card shows another tree cut with the same die but from printed plaid paper attached to a panel stamped with an old holiday word stamp. The little stars I cut with the PB ‘starry night die’ and used small sentiments from the PB holiday snippets set. It is an old set now but I use it all the time on Christmas cards.
