My Sheri Crafts #108

Arbor Day

Arbor Day (from the Latin arbor, meaning tree) is a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant and care for trees.

That is exactly what we are doing at My Sheri Crafts... create any project that helps celebrate this day



For this project, I wanted to attempt something I haven't done.  I cut out a tree using Cricut cartridge: Pagoda to make the stencil of this tree then used embossing powder to cover it all up and applied heat.  The "celebrate" is also cut from Pagoda.  The beads are from my stash that's been there untouched for ages and the strings are DMC cross-stitching floss


Thanks for looking!


Now... it's your turn to create something spectacular and join us over at  My Sheri Crafts

Card size: 4.25" x 5.5"

Supplies used:

Embossing powder
Cricut cartridge: Pagoda - tree and "celebrate"
