Hello everyone. I’m excited to be the first guest designer for the new Christmas Craft Creations monthly challenge. This month’s theme is Christmas Trees.
I’m currently focusing on using new unused (NBUS) products and pulled out the Quirky Christmas Trees stamp set from Avery Elle that has already been discontinued 🙈 and the Skinny Upper Alpha dies from The Stamp Market to create this.
Wishes from Hero Arts Color Layering Christmas Tree was stamped with Persian Blue ink on Bristol then die cut out with a fishtail banner (no linger available). Punched a hole and added white baker’s twine to turn it into a tag. Took a stitched navy panel from my stash and splattered with white gouache paint for a snowy background. Assembled the card onto a white card base and added clear shimmer on the tree to finish.
There are so many Christmas greeting possibilities containing the letter “A”, so I made a second card while I had my supplies out.
Ready to play along? For more inspirations from the design team click HERE. Hope to see you in the gallery. Thank you for dropping by.

This is beautiful, Trina! I really like the blue and white colour scheme. The second card looks great, too. Using images like this to replace letters is always so fun. I'm really happy to have you joining us as a guest designer this month. - Charlotte/Lady Joyful
How clever to use the triangle shape of your tree as an A. well done
Your cards are so creative and fun, Trina! LOVE how you've used the tree with our word cards. Fun!!! xx
So clever with the trees standing in as A's, Trina! Love the rich blue too! Congrats on guest designer!!
How clever to use that tree as the A in both cards! Love the snowy background on both cards that are very different but equally lovely!
Thanks for joining us this month Trina - love your two tone card and that skinny sentiment is fab behind your tree. Tristan DT.
Fantastic designs! Using a festive tree in place of the "A" in each card is positively inspired (and inspiring!).

Congratulations on guesting at Christmas Craft Creations, Trina!
Using the pretty blue hombre-inked tree as "A" is a fun and clever idea! The white die-cut letters look crisp and sharp.
The wishes tag and the tone-on-tone snowflakes are really wonderful elements of the cards!
