Tree Trimmings

One of the coolest things about Demonstrator Convention is the FREE STAMPS! This year one of the free sets given to everyone attending convention was "Tree Trimmings". When I first say the set in the catalog I thought it was cute and put it on my wish list. Now mind you, my wish list is incredibly long. Each time I place an order I look over my list and try to get the things that I like the most and need for upcoming events or holidays. "Tree Trimmings" was on there, but I am not sure it would have made it too the top of the charts and been selected for an order. I am glad that we got this one at convention. I might have missed out on a wonderful stamp set. It is so cute with so many possibilities.

I like to go through the SCS Sketch challenges every now and again for some new layout ideas. SC239 was just a couple of weeks ago. Too cute. It lent itself perfectly to this stamp set. I added the sentiment to the card by layering a number of great punches. The middle ornament is placed on dimensionals to give it some depth. I also embossed the two real red panels with my Big Shot and the Perfect Details Texturz Plate. For more great cards made with the same layout click here SC239.
