O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
I googled for the words of this carol and found loads of variations - so instead of writing the song on here I'm going to add this funny little poem that I found instead!O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
You’re shedding on the carpet
Through summer sun and winter snow
O Christmas tree, you always grow
But put you in the living room
And pretty soon we need a broom

Anyway, for Santa's Little Extra Helper no2 from the Daring Cardmakers the theme is Christmas Trees and here are a few that I've made in the last couple of days
Some are variations on my favourite card of last year, made with scraps of Christmas papers stuck on strips of card which are then cut into triangles for the trees.
The others are made with some sei papers I've just discovered lurking in the bag marked "Christmas Papers". I cut the trees with the template I downloaded a couple of weeks back from the Bosskuts site.
Wow, you're boosting your stocks with a vengance! Some great cards here Kathy - I love the simpel triangle trees, they're very funky!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic cards, I also love the simple triangle trees they are so modern
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you have been busy. Love both sets of cards but if I had to choose I love the simplicity of the top set. I was admiring them on the DCM blog and wondering which Team member had created them.Great creativity. Angela
ReplyDeleteWhaddaya mean I'm organised?!! Look at you with your variety of cards!!! Mine are mostly the same (well at 42 cards per sheet of bazzill, it's a steal so I can buy more stash with the savings).
ReplyDeleteLove your cards and I agree the triangle ones are my faves.
Wow, you have been busy, I love these, especially those simple patchwork style trees, they are so effective!
ReplyDeleteFab cards Kathy! The simple ones are getting me in the mood to make some of my own now. Thanks xx
ReplyDeleteWow Kathy I really love these cards too. I also love your cards in your last post as well. You certainly look like your MOJO has returned and you are on a roll. Beautiful work.

Ooh, these are all stunning, wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteKathy, I love the cards with the big Bosscuts tree, the others are fab too, bu the bauble paper is so cheery. I am not feeling cheery as it appears I have been banned from Bubbly Funk forum! I have emailed Caroline and am assuming it is some kind of error as I'm sure I haven't done anything wrong - boo hoo. If you can get on let everyone know I'm getting withdrawal symptoms already!

ReplyDeletewow! looks like you have been up to your eyeballs in trees! Some lovely work to show from it (as usual!) love the idea of the patchwork trees! I tried it with a stocking template a few weeks ago, bit more tricky though!
