Squeeking in with a CAS pine

Hey there - I'm supposed to be doing other things but I had a card idea. So, of course, I had to drop everything else! Here's my card:

Supplies: Paper - Neenah White; 

Paper Studio glitter cardstock

Dies - Hero Arts Fir Trees Infinity Dies

Embossing folder - Sizzix (name unk)

Other - SSS sentiment strip; Paper Studio star gem

When I made a previous card for the August CAS Christmas Challenge (Pines), I had also pulled out my Hero Arts fir tree set. Decided to make a shaped tree card so it would fit both CAS Christmas and the August Let's Squash It! Challenge to use a shaped card with an embossing folder. It's the last hours for CAS Christmas but I made it!

I used a top fold A2 card and hung the die off the top a bit so I'd retain the crease when I die cut. I covered the fold with the tip of the star gem. Next I cut a smaller tree in white and embossed it. The tree embossing folder came with one of those older thick dies - it's around here somewhere... I made it work for the second layer of the HA tree set but the bottom word "Peace" didn't fit. I snipped a "Peace" off a longer sentiment strip and stuck it to my little glittery tree, also from the HA set. Done!

Thanks to these challenges, I'm gradually building my Christmas card stash - still woefully behind but oh well... Thanks for stopping!!
