Hip Not to Be Square

After my win at the The Shabby Tea Room, I was invited to Guest Design for their November 29th Challenge which is "Get In Shape" ... to make a card or project using no squares or rectangles.  After considering several possibilities, I found a package of Christmas Tree shaped cards from Studio G in the dollar bins at Michael's, and decided it would be fun to decorate those for the holidays.

The first one is for my sister, who loves purple.  I stamped the tree card with Hero Arts Magical Background in Silver and embossed with sparkle embossing powder.  I wrapped the tree (which was easy to do, since they opened by a fold on the top left section of the tree) using wired purple tinsel.  I finished with a few punched star.

The next one is stamped in black with pom-pom ribbon decorations and gold punched stars.

And this one uses strings of red beads (such a great project for those fun embellishments I bought because I loved them, but seldom use) with the background stamped in Versamark and embosessed with Dazzling Diamonds.

And for the last one, I decided to add a sentiment.  It was stamped in Warm Green with Hero Arts Holly Flourish background.  I used one of the other cards as the base for stamping the sentiment from Hero Arts Get Merry! & finished with punched gold stars.

And here's part of my little forest of trees all together.

Can't wait to see the fun shaped cards you create.
