Stampin’ Up! Heartwarming Hugs Tree Angle Sneak Peek

Happy happy HAWWWWMP day!!  And happy can-you-even-believe-it’s-practically Christmas day??

Yeah.  That’s not a real thing but…serious.  Can you believe the year is half over?  I mean – 2020 can just go ahead and get gone, but…wow.  It’s flying!

Now – I mentioned Christmas cuz I’m playing with a Christmas theme today with my card.  There’s a bundle in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog called The Right Triangle – and I bought it specifically so I’d have the Stitched Triangles Dies that are part of the bundle.  I NEEDED those cuz of the Tree Angle stamp set in the Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog.  That one really caught my eye – although it’s kind of a flyover set and one you may have thumbed right by!  I combined it with some homey-cozy paper from the Heartwarming Hugs DSP.  Take a look-see:

I am playing with the As You See It Challenge this week.

I started this card by matting a piece of the Heartwarming Hugs DSP on Mossy Meadow for the card front.

Next up, I embossed a piece of Real Red card stock in the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder, matted it on Mossy Meadow and then adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped two smaller Tree Angle trees in Pear Pizzazz and a larger one in Mossy Meadow.  Then I cut them with the coordinating dies in the Stitched Triangles Die set.

I stamped three tree trunks in Early Espresso on Whisper White, fussy cut them and adhered them to the bottom of the trees with little dabs of Liquid Glue.’

I adhered the two smaller trees to the embossed panel with Liquid Glue.  Then I popped the larger tree on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a Star Designer Element to each tree.

On a strip of Whisper White, I stamped a sentiment from Tree Angle in Real Red.  Then I punched one end in the Banners Pick A Punch.  I punched the same end in a Mossy Meadow strip and adhered the two pieces together with Liquid Glue.  I stamped the little star from Tree Angle in Bumble Bee ink.

I tied a bow from some 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and adhered it with a Glue Dot.  Then I popped the layered sentiment on with Dimensionals – a double stack on each end and a single in the middle (to compensate for the bow and the center popped-up tree).  And that was it for the card front.

On the inside, I stamped a second Tree Angle sentiment in Real Red on a Whisper White panel.  Over it, in Pear Pizzazz ink, I stamped the smaller tree that I’d used on the front.  I added an Early Espresso trunk and a Star Designer Element.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and into my Crumb Cake card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Pear Pizzazz/Early Espresso/Bumble Bee tree on the front…

…and more Heartwarming Hugs DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Yep – I was right to pick up this Tree Angle stamp set – I really like how the stylized trees work…

…especially with a more traditional paper like the Heartwarming Hugs, don’t you?

And – the Stitched Triangle Dies come bundled with The Right Angle stamp set in the annual catalog. You can get them right now!
