More Pine Border Cards and a Horn Tootle

Hello, my friends!

I wanted to show you more cards I made this year for family and friends using the Memory Box Pine Tree Border dies. I think because I've always loved jigsaw puzzles, I became quite addicted to these dies.

I also wanted to tootle my little horn and share that Laurie Davenport is featuring me today as part of her Trend Watch article at Paper Crafter's Library. She is showcasing the Pine Tree Border cards I posted here on December 12th. I'm very chuffed and thank you very much, Laurie!!

So without further achoo, here are several more examples. Some are quite obviously for Christmas, but others are generic enough to be used for birthdays or any other occasion. As you scroll down, you will see that I used a sediment in the upper left-hand corner on a couple of the cards. If you like how that looks, you could use a Happy Birthday sediment, or any other. I just love Versa Tilaty. 

Enjoy! I apologize for the poor photo quality.

Using patterned paper:

Subtle differences in the patterned paper (Bo Bunny) placement and an angled corner to mimic the angles of the trees:

And in pinks:

 

For the following, I used the same patterned paper (PTI) for both the trees and the mat and added a  pop of ribbon:

 

  

Here we have lots of layers:

  

Using a sediment and this time the trees are solid and the outline is patterned:

 

I made two cards using two Pine Border die cut outs which were sent to me by my friend Maria F. in gorgeous coppery and gold glittery paper. (Thank you, again, Maria! You enabler!)

I'm entering this last card in:

I had a delicious holiday lunch yesterday with my bloggie friends Kim and Harriet!

Yes, that's right, I have a holiday sweater and I'll bet you're not the least bit surprised. I'd love to see your holiday sweater or sweatshirt! Kim is modeling an adorable shy snowman and Harriet is representin' for team Hanukkah!

For those of you traveling on the highways, bivalves, and jetways, be safe! God speed and may the sun shine on your arrival. Relatively speaking when you're speaking to your relatives, be nice!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS!*
