Plaid is Rad: Happy Holiday Trees

Here is a second entry for Poppystamps' November Challenge: Plaid is Rad.  I'm mad about plaid, so I whipped up three cards for this challenge. This is my second card.



Using my Stitched Evergreen Cutouts die (it's still on sale over at the store), I moved the die several times to vary where the trees fell in each row. After the trees were cut, I embossed the dots with a folder, and backed each tree with coordinating papers from a Christmas pad with small patterns. Poppystamp's' "stitched cutout" dies are a blast because there are so many different ways to lay them out, You also have all those cute little cut out trees to use on another card.

 The  Happy Holidays die is a Poppystamps beauty, and I cut it out of turquoise glitter paper and made it three layers deep for some dimension. (The close-up to the left is so you can tell there really is plaid  in the trees.)

If you enter a card, you could win the "Home for the Holidays Wreath" die. Happy crafting!
