A tree from mini trees

Good morning!
I've been trying to use some of the stamp sets/punches that were on the carryover list from the last Holiday Catalog.  That brings us to today's card.  I have only used this punch pack a handful of times but I LOVE it!  The Merry Minis Punch pack comes with 3 small punches.  A star, an ornament and a tree.  For this card- I punched out 15 mini trees and adhered them in a triangular shape to look like a larger tree.  After each tree was adhered in place- I added some Cherry  Cobbler Dazzling Details for tiny ornaments.  A strand of Linen Thread was added for garland.  And last but not least (you guessed it!) a fork bow for the topper!
I think this card came our super cute!

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock:  Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Soft Suede
DSP:  Season of Style
Stamps:  Greetings of the Season
Inks:  Cherry Cobbler
Tools/other supplies:  Stampin' Trimmer, Merry Minis Punch Pack (carry-over list), Paper Snips, fork, Stampin' Dimensionals, Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details, SNAIL, Glue Dots

Daydream Medallions

Good morning!
Who says that stamps can't be used for multiple occasions?  On this card- I used the Daydream Medallions stamp set and created a beautiful Christmas Wreath.  I added a Cherry Cobbler fork bow (I told you I'm addicted!) and some Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details to finish it off.
Super simple yet pretty!

Expressions Thinlits

Good morning!
Today I have a simple card to share.  It was created using the Expressions Thinlits Merry die.  LOVE these fun dies!
While I was creating this card- I thought it would be fun to experiment with some "fork bows".  I'm sure the majority of you know what a fork bow is but for those who don't- it's a bow created by using a fork!  They are super easy to create and come out perfectly every time!  
As you can see from the picture above- my fork bow has several loops.  FUN!!!

I also wanted to let you all know that for the next few weeks- my posts will be just about every other day.  I have been extremely busy and have a lot of catching up to do as well as working on my current projects.  I apologize for this as I love to post daily but I need a little break!  Thanks for stopping by!  I appreciate each and every one of you!

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock:  Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Silver Glimmer Paper
Tools/other supplies:  Stampin' Trimmer, Paper Snips, Glue Dots, SNAIL, 1/8" Silver Ribbon, Big Shot, Expressions Thinlits Dies, fork
