Today I have 3 different cards for you using the brand new Pointed Evergreens dies. For these 3 cards, I achieved totally different looks for each by varying the papers I used to cut the Pointed Evergreens for each card. 

For my first card, I kept it traditional by using a piece of paper that I colored with green Distress Paints. Once they were dry, I cut the Pointed Evergreens from them and then added some Texture Paste to the edges of parts of the trees using a palette knife and a little Rock Candy Distress Glitter. Once the glitter was dry, I adhered the trees to a white panel and then added a simple black sentiment. For the background, I used the Christmas Star cling stamp along with Simon’s Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Cappuccino for a tone on tone look. To finish the card I added a sentiment from the CZ Design Clean Line Christmas set.

For my second card, I wanted something fun and sparkly for the season, this time I used some of the new Simon Luxe Glitter cardstock in black…isn’t it just so lovely?!?  I cut the Pointed Evergreens from the black glitter cardstock, added a few tiny stars cut from the Magic Stars Wafer dies  to the top of them and a sentiment from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set embossed in gold.

For my third card, I cut into one of my “rainbow” experiment papers that I made with Distress Watercolor Pencils and cut out the Pointed Evergreens and combined it with some bright yellow cardstock. For the sentiment, I stamped a simple Joy from the CZ Design Let’s Make a Tag set.
