Jolly Happy Christmas Tree Magnet

Friday Feature: Sweet Dixie Jolly Happy Christmas Tree Magnet.

This Friday I bring to you a card using just one element from Lindsay Masons' Sweet Dixie Jolly Happy Christmas *New 2016 Christmas stamp collection from Personal Impressions.


This stamp set consists of four images and two sentiments (please note the winter wishes sentiment on this project along with the snowflakes used in the background are from Lindsays' Christmas Hello stamp set.)


Snowflakes have been randomly stamped using Tim Holtz Stormy Sky distress ink.

Torn hammered white card has been layered onto a distressed and spritzed background to create the snowy base. 


The stamped tree image has been coloured using Promarker, Forest Green, Holly and Leaf Green and the baubles using Promarkers from the vibrant collection. 

Smaller trees are created by cutting the lower half  of the tree image away, I also removed the stars from the smaller trees to leave one central focal Tree.


The second focal tree has been created by layering up the three tree segments. They have then been embossed using Versamark clear embossing ink and Sweet Dixie High Gloss Embossing Powder 

Gemstones and Ranger stickles glitter glue have been used to embellish. The Focal Tree has been mounted onto a magnetic strip creating a Fridge Magnet Gift for the receiver. 
This can easily be attached to the card anywhere using removable glue.


The Jolly Happy Christmas stamp set is extremely resourceful, a must have set in your Christmas Collection.

Thank you for taking time to peek at my crafty creation.. I hope you have been inspired.
