Hi crafters! I’m sharing a new and very festive take on the traditional Christmas tree. The die set is called, “Build-A-Bow Christmas Tree” die set. It’s part of the latest Alex Syberia Designs holiday collection called, “Bow Ho Ho” release. I love how cute this tree can be. Just pick your color combo and start decorating the tree with bows… lot of bows! I’m using the following Alex Syberia Designs products:
Build-a-Bow Christmas Tree die set
Christmas Sentiment Stamp set (from a previous release)
Nested Scalloped Frame Die Set (from a previous release)
My card base and front panel is 5″ X 7″ (A7 commercial size) and is made from Neenah 80lb white cardstock.
To make this card, I started by stenciling the white card front panel in pink bows using the new Chic Bows Stencil Set and Ranger Distress Oxide ink in Worn Lipstick. I set it aside to dry and began to work on the tree.
I die cut the core tree from the Build-a-Bow Christmas Tree die set from a new cardstock in a glossy metallic green from the Christmas Sparkle Mix cardstock pack. Next, I die cut all the cute bows in the sets from glittery cardstock from the Mystic Garden Mix Cardstock pack (pink) , Festive Fusion Mix cardstock (plum), Royal Elegance Mix cardstock (gold), Black and Silver Mix cardstock (silver) and Golden Turquoise cardstock mix (turquoise). Once the bows were die cut and assembled, I attached them to the tree, starting at the BOTTOM of the tree, first, allowing the higher/top layers to cascade over the bottom layers. I attached a rhinestone gem sticker in pinks to each bow.
I attached the tree to a white stitched rectangle die cut made using a die from the Nested Scalloped Frame Die Set. I also matted the frame using a silver metallic cardstock using a paper from the Black and Silver Mix cardstock (silver) paper pack. I attached the framed tree to the stenciled card front panel.
A few green gem sticker rhinestones were placed along the tree for extra sparkle. I also stamped in black ink, “Christmas” below the frame using a sentiment from the Christmas Sentiment Stamp set. This sparkly Christmas tree is ready to send for the holidays!
