This first one features stars at the bottom of the tree--imagine that! (Just my warped sense of humor at play here.) After punching out the tree and running it through the Cuttlebug for the stitched rectangle, we mounted the panel with dimensionals over the dsp so that it showed through and also formed a border.
The second card is a shaker design I came up with for my own
Christmas card stash. The tag is sandwiched with thin strips of
foam tape to form the shaker and mounted over the large dots dsp.
Finally, the three trees were stamped on green cardstock and punched out over the snowy background along a piece of torn white cs. Glitter was added for the snow.
These were all fun --and simple-- to make!
Do you know the story of The Three Trees? To make it short, one tree wanted to grow up and be a treasure chest. Another wanted to be a big ship, and the last wanted to grow tall and point to the sky. When it was time for them to be harvested, the first one became the manger for the baby Jesus. The second one was a fishing boat that held the fishermen and their Master who calmed the sea. Finally, the last was formed into a cross upon which the Final Sacrifice was made to take away our sins. What a beautiful Christmas story!

Three great cards, Doris! I especially like the first one with the Ornamental Pine stamped in white on the green! I like those stars at the bottom. Something a bit different and fun! Thanks for sharing the story of the 3 trees.
Beautiful cards, Doris. I have so enjoyed seeing the many different cards made with one set. Blessings and hugs!!!
