Trimming the Tree Bundle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It may be September, but Christmas is coming! And while the best holiday of the year (in my opinion) is actually months away, the Trimming the Tree Bundle<\/a> is expiring soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope this is not your first look at the Trimming the Tree Bundle<\/a>. But if it is, plan to be amazed. There are so many good things in this “Perfect Partner” die set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect Partners September 1-30<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We really are just days away from the Perfect Partners Die Sets end of sale. And while I have shared some of the other sets (click here to see one<\/a>), I chose the jolliest bundle for last. First, lets take a look at the stamp set, Trimming the Tree<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether or not you are creating Christmas trees, pine trees<\/em> are universal. I love using pine trees in masculine themed cards. They also work well in a variety of other themes too! With the Trimming the Tree Stamp Set<\/a>, 2-step stamping is very easy. The tree images do not need to line up perfectly in any way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the stamp set is available in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, the dies may only be purchased until September 30, 2022, or sold out (whichever event occurs first). I would hate for you to miss this big set of Tree Trimmings Dies<\/a>! Not only do they cut out the stamped images, there are bonus dies that add texture or help you decorate your tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Assembly Required<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For all the details and tips on creating this card, be sure to watch my demonstration here<\/a>. Once I have shared my “Make It Monday” video, I love playing with color and making a new version of my card. Below, you will find the step by step tutorial in a fun new twist on color palette!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
