I’ll be sharing some projects featuring the Whimsical Trees Bundle this week. I think my favorite part of this suite is the set of dies – featuring trees in different shapes and sizes. I love the dies on today’s card – the tall skinny trees – pack a punch with the added detail.
WHIMSICAL TREES STAMP SET
Enjoy a festival of trees with the Whimsical Trees Stamp Set. Choose your favorite tree from this charming assortment or build a fun festive forest. Add the ornaments plus a greeting and your Christmas card will be complete. You can also use them to make gift tags and other holiday projects.
CHRISTMAS TREES DIES
It’s trees, trees, and more trees in the amazing Christmas Trees Dies. Use these dies to cut out stamped images, create a wondrous woodsy scene, and more. While the trees are perfect for Christmastime creations, they can easily be used year-round. No one will care if you can see the forest for the trees when the trees are this glorious.

For my Facebook Live Take 2 I shared two more projects featuring the beautiful Eden’s Garden Collection of products!
You can click below to watch how both go together.
It was really fun to create this fancy bow for my box – and it’s actually fun and easy to do! I used 2 strips of the Evening Evergreen Cotton Paper – both strips measuring 4 x 12 inches. You can see the step by step way to create this in the recording above.
I received a lot of nice comments about the tag I had made and shared on Monday’s Facebook Live and thought it would be fun to create a card using the same idea -and so I did just that . I used the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder for the background panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I was a Music Major in college (proud Alum of the University of Michigan!) and so I was curious whether this embossing folder was actually a song, or just a made of score to look like a real song – so I took the Embossing Folder to my piano – and played the notes – and realized that the folder is actually the script for Joy to the World! So cool!!!! So now whenever I use this folder, I will think of one of my favorite hymns – and hope you do as well!
By adding some Cherry Cobbler cardstock into the Eden’s Garden colors of Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen, I created a Christmas card – bringing more versatility to this collection! the Designer Paper is cut at 1 x 3 inches.
My circle is cropped from the smallest circle of the Layering Circle dies, and stamped with Evening Evergreen ink. Greeting is from the Tidings and Trimmings stamp set from our Annual Catalog.
Hope you all enjoy your weekend! Thanks for stopping by today!

Today is the official release of the Eden’s Garden Collection – a gorgeous set of products including the Eden’s Garden stamp set and dies- bundled together, the gorgeous Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper, Ever Eden Cotton Paper and Garden Gems. The bundle will be featured in our upcoming January – June Mini Catalog. The other products – the Designer Paper, Cotton Paper and Gems are only part of the Early Release and are available only while supplies last.
For my Facebook Live on Monday, I created a card and a tag featuring these products!
You can click below to watch how both go together.
I used the gorgeous Ever Eden Designer Series Paper for my card – its a specialty paper with touches of gold. I used one of the dies to create the panel for the words, and added the greeting in Evening Evergreen ink.
I added a panel of Gold Shimmer Vellum and like that you can see a bit of the Designer Paper underneath.
My tag shows a different take on this Collection of products – it makes a beautiful Christmas tag!
I used the Tailored Tags for the base of the tag – these are a must have – I can’t tell you how many times I have used my set of these dies! I then added different strips of the Designer Series Paper and layered them onto the tag – offsetting a bit. The Cherry Cobbler sprigs were cropped with the Eden dies and I love the pop of color they bring to this tag. I finished the tag by stamping a Christmas greeting from the Tidings and Trimmings stamp set onto a cropped circle from the Layering Circle dies.
The beautiful Garden Gems and a touch of sparkle to this tag.

In my Facebook Live on Thursday of this week, I created a darling Santa Framed Art featuring the Be Jolly Stamp Set! This is a tiny frame – just 3 inches square – and is perfect for sitting on a desk, windowsill or a collection of Christmas items to create a vignette! And again, I wanted to show that Santa doesn’t always need to be in a red suit! This Jolly Santa for today is sporting a special coat of our Snowy White Velvet Sheets! Wish you could touch it – it’s like real velvet – so soft and pretty!
You can click below to watch how this goes together! It’s actually pretty easy – you will need your Paper Snips – for just a bit of fussy cutting!
I stamped the Santa stamp on the Snowy White Velvet Sheet with Early Espresso ink – then set it aside for a minute or two to give the ink a chance to set. While I was waiting for that to dry, I stamped another Santa with Early Espresso ink – this time onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I added some color to his face and beard with Stampin’ Blends – Petal Pink – Light and Dark, Smoky Slate – Light. I also used my Color Lifter to soften the color I added to Santa’s beard a bit.
I then took the stamped Velvet piece and added some color to Santa’s belt with a Light Crumb Cake Blend. Then the Fussy Cutting began – I started by cutting out the Velvet Santa – I cut his suit and face as one piece, and then his hat – cutting around his eyebrows. Next I cut his face and beard from the Basic White Cardstock panel. You can “see” how I did this in the video above!
Isn’t he just the cutest? I love this jolly little guy!
