Quick & Easy Holiday Cards using Tree Die with Savannah O’Gwynn

Hello, Pink & Main friends and fans!

It’s Savannah O’Gwynn, and I’m back to share a few quick and easy Christmas and holiday cards using the NEW P&M Little Tree dies.

Shaker Cards

The Little Tree dies are great for outdoor scenes… but I wanted to create a holiday card instead. #I’malwaystryingtothinkoutsidethebox 😂 And I wanted it to be bright, bold, and fun.

I pulled out several P&M colored cardstock scraps (see list below). #neverthrowanythingaway I used these scraps and the Tall Rainbow die to create strips that will be the background. **Again— thinking outside the box! The rainbow bows are PERFECT for creating strips!!!
Next I layered them on a base using easy tear tape (this is the front panel). **Notice I added white strips on one background— that’s because I wanted to try two different background designs:)

Then I die cut the tree image multiple times from the front panel, saving the die cut pieces of course!!
I added a clear transparency behind the front panel and added foam tape around the edges of the back of this panel.

I added Stardust Chunky glitter to the cardbase and then attached the front panel to the cardbase.
Finally I embossed the sentiment, die cut it out, and adhered it to the card front.

EASY!!!!!!!! Honestly, I looooooooooove how these cards turned out!!! I love both the full colored panel and the one with the white strips. Also, I think these could be mass produced!

**BONUS— saving the scraps helped me create another holiday card!

Scrap Card

This card was even easier to create because it was made with all scraps! I created this card in three steps:

Create cardbase using On The Green cardstock.
Create front panel from Ice Rink cardstock, stamp sentiment, and adhere scrap tree die cut images.
Add a few Diamond Confetti pieces.

DONE! And the best part is that I still have a few tree images leftover! Be on the lookout— I might use them in an upcoming project:)

I hope my holiday cards have inspired you to turn some of your P&M goodies into a holiday themed card today!

I’ll be back with MORE soon!! OH!!! Guess what?!?!? I *FINALLY* shared my Mom’s P&M projects on my IG page— click HERE to check them out! I get all my crafty genes from her. Who knows, maybe my Mom will try out for the P&M DT call🙃 It wouldn’t be the first time we worked together for a company- LOL! **Be sure to check out the details of this DT call HERE!!!

Please remember to share what you create using these techniques, if you are learning to color with me, or if you use these P&M stamp/die sets so I can leave you some love ❤️

THANKS so much for stopping by! Happy crafting!!!

Hugs ❤️ Savannah
