A Book Tree

The new January - April 2025 Mini Catalog will be live before we know it, and I've just received my pre-order of fun stamps, dies, gorgeous paper and accessories.  But when I saw a card posted by Jo Weeden Melbourne using one of the new stamps I got, For the Books, I knew I just had to recreate it for my book club members:


 How's that for using a stamp set in a different way?  Who would have thought that a stack of books could make a cute Christmas tree?

I stamped the books, masking the ones on the bottom and re-stamping them side by side.  The star at the top is from Decorative Trees (on the retiring list - get it before it's gone!).  Then I colored them all with Blends.

The greeting is from Reindeer Fun (another set soon to be retired) using Shy Shamrock ink.

And that shiny paper?  There is a reason I keep stuff in my stash long after it's no longer available - and now you are seeing why; this was from a pack of Red and Green Foil sheets, and I can't even tell you when it was in a catalog, it's been that long!  But it was the perfect "foil" (no pun intended) for a layer on my card.

The January - April 2025 Mini Catalog will be ready for your orders soon.  Need a catalog?  Just let me know.  I'd love to get one into your hands!
