Peeking Tree Christmas Card

I'm so thrilled with how this card turned out. It was really a bunch of happy accidents. I knew I wanted to use this set from #trinitystampsllc I bought it a couple of weeks ago, but hadn't gotten to use it yet. It's SOOOO cute.

I managed to get the card front and peeking tree done just before the #CraftRoulette deadline, but I knew I wanted to add a surprise mech to in inside as well.

Card Size: A2

Featuring:

• Trinity Stamps, Happy Little Tree Farm Dies [TRI]

• Trinity Stamps, Merry Christmas Senti-Mini Stamp Set [TRI]

• Trinity Stamps, Merry Christmas Senti-mini Coordinating Dies [TRI]

• Distress Ink, Everygreen Bough [SBC]

• Distress Oxide, Spun Sugar [SBC]

• Distress Oxide, Picked Raspberry [SBC]

I made a quick tutorial for the surprise mech on the inside!

The tree bottom swings from side to side. :)
