This first one is a better picture but look closely and see what I forgot to add:
My Dark Chocolate tree trunk from Lil Inkers tree.
Good morning !
I want to take a min. and thank you all for your sweet comments. I am very grateful for each and every one of you.
I loved the inspiration photo with the deep red and dark chocolate. For this card…. at first... I used the stacked coffee cups then a different tree. Then changed it all up again.
The red and white polka dot is washi tape on cardstock then I made my cuts. The tree is from Papertrey Ink, the stars are from WPlus9, sentiment is from PTI , frame and tree trunk are from Lil Inkers Design and embossing folder Cuttlegug. ( I don't think they make it anymore.)
Thank You!
Marybeth there is some serious cuteness going on here!! Love the sweet little garland and your polka dot tree!!
ReplyDeleteMarybeth time after time I visit your blog, fall in love with your card and want to make one just like it! :)

ReplyDeleteFabulous design Marybeth! Love the red and white polka-dots ... so sweet! Thanks for joining us at Merry Monday.
ReplyDeleteThis is a charming card, Marybeth. I'm sure the early versions of it were also cute, though. Thanks for the reminder to use washi tape. It looks great as your polka dot.
ReplyDeleteI think that I'm caught up with comments. I'll probably be behind again tomorrow since you are so prolific. ;-)
I love this Marybeth! Great design!
ReplyDeleteAnother dose of cuteness. This tree is the bomb and adding the stitched stars sets it off perfectly. Love that layered tree and the polka dots.
