Dollar Store Inspired TGIF398

Happy Tuesday, peeps!  I feel like shopping and cookie-baking has taken over my life and my stamping time has been put on the back burner! I did have a few minutes last night to finish a card I started earlier in the week!!  I got this cute little jar last year at the Dollar Store and filled it with a bottlebrush tree, some greenery and a couple of red bells sitting on some cotton batting:

I thought it would be fun to recreate it (except I didn't realize until after I did all my diecutting that the blades were GOLD!) on a card!  So here we go:

I think it would have looked fabulous with gold blades, too...maybe I'll do another!  Here's the sketch from TGIF that I used:

I used an Avery Elle skate stamp and die and a Papertrey gingham stamp.  The AE stamp set also has the greenery and berries, and I used the Wintry embossing folder for the background panel:

I used a Tim Holtz die for the holly in the corners and a Lil'Inker bell, along with a Lawn Fawn sentiment:

Finally, a Kaiser sentiment on the inside! I gave a lot of different products lots of love! (And truthfully, my background paper looks a lot more orange in the photo!)

Thanks for visiting today!

After we made our sea glass Christmas trees, Dana brought her friend Lisa to our house; she had never stamped before, so I set up the Stamparatus (in my very messy craft room), cut some paper and cardstock and they each made a card:

They did a great job!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
