Anna Griffin's Paper 5x7 pad was cut and glued together to fit on a 6x6 card. It was then bordered and applied to a piece of Neenah 6x6 Paper. Martha Stewart's Modern Garland Edger Punch covered the splice and I liked it as a background for the trees. I stamped the sentiment form the Christmas Nested Sentiments and cut and embossed with the Tag Nestie by Spellbinders.
I made the pine cones out of a new punch that I am excited to introduce to you today.
A few weeks ago, some new customers came to the shop and brought a gorgeous book with all kinds of paper flowers in it. The flowers are all made with punches. I was asked if I knew where they could get them. I started doing some research and I am happy to announce I have found them and will be making them available to you by special order.
Selma has prepared a wonderful tutorial for you to see how we are making the Pine Cones.
Shown below are the products used. Also be sure to take a look at her beautiful cards and leave a comment. Selma is celebrating her soon to be 150,000 hits on her blog and is giving away lots of goodies as well as two $25.00 gift certificates. One from Selma and one from Joan's Gardens. Don't miss out!!! Of course, I always welcome your comments too.
They mean so much and I truly appreciate them!!!!!

Yes Joan this is a gorgeous card. I love the way you embossed the trees, cut them out and sponged on color. The pine cones really make this card special.
