Hi friends! Heather Hoffman here today to share a fun feature showing a couple different ways to use the Triangle Whirl Trees! I’ve created a card, and also a set of ornaments by adding the Triangle Tabs die.

I actually created the ornaments first, by cutting each of the Triangle Whirl Trees dies 3 times, one from Green Leaf cardstock, one from Green Apple cardstock. I then cut the Triangle Tab die 3 times from each color, and assembled them together, adding a loop of May Arts Gold Cord tucked inside before closing the triangle. I then adhered the die cut Triangle Whirl Trees to all 3 sides of the outside to complete the tree ornament look.

Then I went crazy with bling to make those trees sparkle! I added tiny Dazzling Gems in Sunbeam, Taffy, and Mandarin sprinkled on each side, then filled in with Pinkfresh Metallic Gold Pearls for a touch of elegance, and to tie in the gold cord to the finished design. Once the ornaments were done, I thought it might be fun to create a coordinating card. It also was nice to show how versatile these Triangle Whirl Trees are, since it gives another idea for creating with them!

This time, I cut each tree out a few times in the same Green Apple and Green Leaf cardstock, then layered onto a white cardbase, using sturdy tape in the center, and letting the ends float free a bit for dimension. I then die cut and assembled the Bouncy Merry Christmas sentiment die, using Honey Gold and white cardstock, and popped that up with foam adhesive over the trees. I looped around some of that same Gold Cord that I used on the ornaments to tie in a bow, and added some of the same bling to the card.

I love the versatility of being able to create a 3 dimensional project, or a flat card, all using the same main supplies!

Do you prefer sticking to cards, or making different projects? Or do you sometimes like to make a matching set like this?
