O Christmas Tree

O Christmas tree! O Christmas tree! How lovely are thy branches! It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!

It’s Clean and Simple week at The Paper Players and the talented LeAnne has a fun theme for us: Tag! You’re It!ย  While I went with a holiday card, the sky is the limit with today’s challenge. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!ย  But remember, this is a CLEAN and SIMPLE challenge.ย  Before you run off to gather your stamps, papers, and inks, keep in mind that when The Paper Players use the term โ€œclean and simpleโ€, we mean cards that:

Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered

Tag You're It

Colors Of The Day

O Christmas Tree

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Clean, simple and easy are the hallmarks of today’s card! Sadly, no matter how many pictures I took of this card, I could not capture it’s beauty. The sparkle got in the way. I can’t say enough about the Decorative Trees dies.ย  They make it so easy to create beautiful and elegant cards.ย  Die cut from Garden Green glimmer paper and accented with red rhinestones, this overlay is stunning!

  1. Ann
    another gorgeous and elegant card. I love the little touches of glimmer and shine and the subtle background. Of course, your signature bow is the perfect finishing touch.

  2. So much sparkly goodness on your tag, Ann! The tree is just stunning and I love that gorgeous bow! Both elegant and CAS. Love it!

  3. Joanne James - The Crafty Owl

    SO beautiful Ann – the shimmer and sparkle really makes your CAS card shine! Love the festive tree (I almost bought the stamp set just for that sentiment …)

  4. Ann… I so love your style… you scream elegance! All that glitter is just oo much fun.

  5. All the shimmer and sparkle might have been difficult to photograph but it makes for an elegantly festive design. The white and silver are bling but understated at the same time. You’re right about the beauty of the overlay dies in Decorative Trees. It’s probably my favourite Christmas set of the season. ๐Ÿ™‚

  6. Gorgeous tag….the glimmer and sparkle really kick this up to the nth! Still CAS with all the white, but oh-so-pretty!

  7. Very Festive; and like Bonnielee mentioned; It’s breath taking.
    Clean and quite elegant.
    Love that EF and the cute little bookmark with all the sparkle.

  8. Super pretty. Loving all the sparkle this card has.

  9. LOVE the green glimmer paper! such a sparkler for Christmas

  10. Absolutely stunning. I love it๐Ÿ’•

  11. Wow! Breathtaking!
