Have you seen Close To My Heart's new Triangle Tree collection? This collection includes a stamp set, a Thin Cut set and a dual stencil set that can all be purchased, and used, independently of one another, or used together, and when they are, they are a statement of beauty! I am in love with this collection so over the next few days, I will be sharing some artwork that I have created with the elements independently and collectively.

The first card is a layered tree card and here are the directions to how I created this card:
1. The card base is Pine cs which is cut to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
2. The paper behind the tree is cut from French Vanilla cs and to 3 3/4" x 4". It is then splattered with the Gold Shimmer Brush. Allow a few minutes for the splattering to dry. Adhere to the top of the Pine cs with 1/8" borders above and to the left and right.
3. Next, the patterned paper is from the Evergreen Paper pack. It is cut to 1 1/2" x 4". Before adhering to the Pine cs, adhere a piece of Seabrook Shimmer Trim to the top edge of the patterned paper and trim to fit.
4. Next, cut a piece of Sage cs to 3/4" x 4". Using the Pine Exclusive Ink Pad, stamp the "thinking of you this Christmas" sentiment from the Home for the Holidays Card Making Workshop Kit. Note: if you don't have this stamp set, you could easily substitute with a different stamped sentiment.
5. Adhere the stamped sentiment to the center of the visible Evergreen patterned paper.
6. Adhere the patterned/stamped/shimmer trim piece to the Pine cs directly below the French Vanilla cs.
7. Using a hand held hole punch, punch (3) dots with Pine Glitter paper and (2) with Seabrook Glitter Paper.
8. Adhere (2) Pine glitter dots in a horizontal row to the French Vanilla cs directly above the Seabrook Shimmer Trim and right justified.
9. Using the 2nd largest Triangle Tree Thin Cut, cut a tree from the French Vanilla cs.
10. Cut a 1/2" piece of the Evergreen patterned paper. Adhere the Evergreen print side to the bottom of the tree. Trim to fit. Flip the patterned paper to the polka dot side. Adhere a row of the polka dot paper above the Evergreen patterned paper. Trim to fit. Adhere a piece of Seabrook Shimmer Trim directly above the polka dot paper. Trim to fit. Adhere a 2nd row of Evergreen pattern paper directly above the shimmer trim. Trim to fit. Adhere a 2nd row of the polka dot paper above the Evergreen print and trim to fit. Adhere a row of Pine Shimmer Trim above the polka dot and trim to fit. Finally, rotate and adhere, the Seabrook Shimmer Trim above the Pine Shimmer Trim but this one is adhered vertically to make sure that the tip of the tree is covered.
11. Adhere the tree to the French Vanilla splattered paper with Thin Foam Tape.
12. Cut a small piece of Pine Shimmer Trim at an angle. Tuck, and adhere, under the bottom center of the tree for the trunk.
13. Adhere (2) Seabrook and (1) Pine glitter dots to the tree with Mini-Glue Dots.
13. Adhere the card front to the card.

In all that you do, create with sass!
