JAI #245: STAMPIN' UP!'S FESTIVAL OF TREES IN GOLD

This week at Just Add Ink we have a Christmassy challenge, to make a papercraft project inspired by these beautiful images:

 

I've just taken delivery of some gorgeous new Designer Series Papers that are coming out in the Stampin' Up! Occasions catalogue on 6th January.  These papers have reignited my love for Sahara Sand; teamed with white, and gold, it made for the perfect neutral on my card for this challenge.

 

Each of the three trees has different detail ... the one on the left has tiny pearls adorning the flowery parts; the middle tree is embossed in white on Sahara Sand card, and the baubles embossed in gold; and the right tree is embellished with the sweet little gold bird (also from the Festival of Trees stamp set).

 

There are a couple of 'sneak peeks' on this card (I can't link to the products in my online store yet, as they're not available to buy until 6th January) .... the patterned paper, and the wide white jute ribbon.  Lovely, don't you think?

 

Here's my card:

STAMPIN' UP! CHRISTMAS BAUBLE IN RICH RAZZLEBERRY AND BLACKBERRY BLISS

JAI #235: STAMPIN' UP!'S LOVELY AS A TREE

This week at Just Add Ink, Kim has challenged us to use these colours on a papercraft project:

This challenge REALLY got me thinking!  I had quite a time of it, trying to work out a good balance of all the colours - I had several ideas that were canned, after they turned out disastrously.  In the end, I opted for quite a bit of white, and my favourite neutral, Crumb Cake, to tone down the contrasts. 

Even though the 'baubles' on the centre tree look red, I assure you they are stamped in Strawberry Slush ink!  Because Blackberry Bliss is so bold, I opted to use it sparingly, for the sentiment.
