A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Celtic Knot Christmas Tree


Here's another card for the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Card Challenge with the theme of "tree".   It will go up as one of the mid-month reminders.

I kept it very CAS as I'm also entering it in this week's SCS CAS challenge - "Christmas in July".  And because both image and sentiment are stamped, it's also going in the Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge - "Stamping".

It was a great opportunity to use some of my coloured embossing powders - they tend to languish on the shelf as there are so many new products to use these days!  As much as I love all those new products, it really is nice to go back to my roots in the cardmaking craft world - I started out stamping and heat embossing as I loved that effect!






Supplies:
Stamps:  Wordsworth Celtic Knot Christmas Tree, Tim Holtz sentiment
Ink:  ColorBox Gold and Evergreen
Paper:  cream and gold shimmer cs
Accessories:  Stampendous Gold Detail and Green Tinsel embossing powders, L'il Inkers Stitched Square die
