Jewelled Christmas Tree Cards

These cards use a 6ins x 6ins 130gsm. Kraft card blank from Craft UK Ltd.
Jewelled Christmas Tree Card.These cards use the bumper bargain boxes of flat backed gems that Marc and I bought from HobbyCraft for £3 during his stay with me. I just love the colours, as there is an unusual dusty blue in with the turquoise pack and gold, black and grey in the other pack which again are a bit different.
flat back gemsWhen I looked at the gems I immediately thought jewelled Christmas trees as they came in varying sizes and there were so many I knew didn’t have to be stingy when using them.  I could bling to my hearts content!

The tree was then placed on some very simple mat and layering, first using a contracting colour (teal and black) which was then matted on silver mirri card.  The final touches were made with a little faux stitching and doodling using a white gel pen.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
