Happy Holidays!




No Cricut! Gasp!
I had fun trying a new technique; Paper piercing. I stamped the Tag Stamp that had the Xmas tree on some pattern paper then stamped it again on an old Xmas card that had a neat design and then cut out the tree and layered it onto of the fist stamp. I think it would have been easier if I had a larger stamp! This was the largest one I could find!
All my papers are from scrap (Yippee!!)
Martha Stewart twine that I shaded with Distressed Ink
Liquid pearls
Glitter embossing powder
Stickles

    very very cute! i've never tried paper piecing... fussy cutting just doesn't seem like fun to me! but the tree you picked seems easy enough. i should try it one of these days!
