Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm on a roll for Christmas cards. I apologize to those who are still seeing snow.
I spread some embossing paste through a stencil then sprinkled with glitter for
the background. A little glue and glitter brought sparkle to the snowbank.
Dee's Distinctively Jumbo tree cut from plaid paper made the tree and
a couple red cardinals decorate the tree. I've used dimensionals
between the tree's layers so there's lots of dimension to go with the sparkle.
Happy 2nd Birthday to Christmas Craft Creations!

LOVE your plaid tree and little pops of red with the Cardinals Bonnie, and your snowy background is so pretty with all the sparkle! Happy to report that while the temps are still pretty cool here (40's mostly, but they say we'll get up to 50 today!), we haven't had any snow in a week!! YAY!! Hope I didn't just jinx that!! Anyway, lovely, lovely card my friend! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteI love that plaid and what a fun tree this is. The touch of red is so pretty with your sparkly, snowy background.
ReplyDeleteI am rally not ready for winter cards and certainly not Christmas cards. But I must say I really like your card. The plaid paper for the tree is quite creative and at a glance it looks more like a textured tree with snow. A touch of red is always welcome!

Your plaid tree is so cute, Bonnie. I love the dimension the stacking gives. I think I went looking for that die last time you used it. So sad it's not available.
ReplyDeleteSuch soft and pretty green tones for the dimensional die cut tree Bonnie, and I love the contrast of the two red cardinal sitting on the branches, and the background using texture paste and glitter has lots of wonderful sparkle, just great for Christmas. x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Tartan Plaid die cut popped up Christmas tree, Bonnie. Love your added cardinals and sparkly snow. TFS your beauty. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteLove this plaid beauty, the cardinal, the snowy backdrop and the drifts. Fabulous details.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I'm dreaming of a plaid Christmas tree this year! How adorable - it's no wonder these sweet little cardinals have gathered here!

You pretty little plaid tree is delightful! Cute card, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteI love your glittery background and that tree looks fantastic in plaid. The little pops of red are perfect finishing touches xx
ReplyDeleteHow creative, Bonnie. Love your card with so much to enjoy looking at.
ReplyDeleteLovely sparkly snowy background and a beautiful plaid tree. The two little cardinals are a perfect finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteOnly you could give that tree so much character by doing it in plaid. I believe you used it once before since I went looking for it and do think it's retired. It looks fabulous in that paper, Bonnie and love the sparkly background you created for it. This one caught my eye!
ReplyDeleteAdorable. Your b/w plaid tree looks beautiful against all that fabulous glittery stencilled background.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Bonnie, love your plaid Christmas tree and those cute little cardinals. Your embossed background adds the perfect amount of sparkle ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card Bonnie - loving the plaid tree, and all the background sparkle.
ReplyDeleteBlessings

Oooo - really love the grey plaid tree with the pop of the red cardinals, Bonnie!!
ReplyDeleteA+ for dimension and schparkle with this unique beauty, Bon! I want to try this idea with that other layered tree you enabled me to get a coupla three years ago. I think that would work great, too. Thanks! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteHappy Rudolf Days.
Oh I love this wonderful card and your design looks awesome and very gorgeous.
Love the plaid tree and the cardinals nesting in it.
The emboosed part with the stencil is also brilliant too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Oooh Bonnie I really like this one. The tree is gorgeous! Off to see if it’s available in UK.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous and thanks for joining us at April's Rudolph Days Challenge, Luv Sam x
ReplyDeleteFabulous design Bonnie. I love your plaid Christmas tree ... so creative and fun! Love all the sparkle too! xx
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw "plaid" tree, I had to take a look. THIS is wonderful! You added so much dimension and interest to this CAS card! I love it! Hop0e all is well my friend!
ReplyDeleteI love this whimsical and fun tree! Even the plaid, itself, makes the tree appear to be dusted with snow. A soft and pretty color accented with the colorful birds. You're going to be ready when it comes time to mail the cards!
ReplyDeleteYou ARE on a roll for Christmas cards, Bonnie! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteHow fun and adorable your plaid Christmas tree is! The little red cardinals and the sparking snow & snowflakes are all perfect supporting actors to the winter scene!

ReplyDeleteYour tree is just SO cute in the plaid Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteI love this Christmas card Bonnie! The embossing paste with sparkle sky is so pretty but boy does your plaid tree take the center stage! The pops of red in the cardinals is so beautiful. Just gorgeous! That is a pretty cool tree too. Hugs, Brenda
