CHRISTMAS WORDS TREE

I love using my stamps in ways they weren't intended.  There were so many words in the Christmas Stamp Kits from Susan K. Weckesser that I wanted to use them all!  But how???  A Word Christmas Tree!!

Super FUN!

I gathered my supplies, stamped all the words on white cardstock and cut them out.

SUPPLIES:

• Susan K. Weckesser/Unity Stamps "Very, Very Merry" Stamp Set
• Susan K. Weckesser/Unity Stamps "World of Christmas" Stamp Set
• Susan K. Weckesser/Unity Stamps "An {Artful} Ornament" Stamp Set
• Susan K. Weckesser "Live In Color" Scrapbook Paper Collection
• Susan K. Weckesser/Crafter's Workshop Stencil
• Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Evergreen Bough"
• Ranger Stickles "Green"
• Core'dinations Cardstock
• Sizzix "Pinecone" Die

I adhered the words in a triangle shape on white cardstock.  I then applied the Evergreen ink to the words and the cardstock.

Next, I diecut branches from the pinecone die and added Stickles to them and the words.

While the Stickles were drying, I cut the cardstock and adhered it to the card base.  On the top (red) cardstock I traced the shape of the tree.  I used the flower shape on the stencil and with a white pen to draw on the red cardstock.  I thought the flowers looked like snow :)  Then I fill in some areas with white dots.

The bird is from the "Very, Very Merry" Stamp Set.  I thought he was perfect for the top of the tree.  I cut him out and colored some parts of him.  I added Stickles to make him shine like a star.  I cut my branches a little smaller and glued them all over the tree.

I added pearls, to look like garland and ornaments, on the tree last.  I put a bow between the tree and the word Peace.  The Peace word was the tree holder.

Thanks for visiting!  Try having fun with words today!!
