When I saw the Cottage Cutz Tree w/Hearts & Leaves die, it was love at first sight. :) I had visions of doing cute Valentine's Day cards with it. But you know me, I alway think ahead as to what else can I do with a die to get my money's worth. So scroll down to see what I came up with. :)
I found a quote that made this die a good one for anniversary cards. All the leaves and hearts look SO pretty on this one when you see it "in person." :) What else could I use it for?
How about for Halloween? Cut the tree out of black paper and it takes on a "spooky" feel. Iglued eyeballs on it to make it even "scarier." :) The eyeballs are what I called "googlely eyes"
and can be found in craft stores with several to a package. How about one more sample with this die? :)
It can be used for winter or Christmas themes too. By cutting the tree from white paper, it looks "cold." :) I used some snowflake eyelets and then put crystal rhinestones in the centers of theeyelets to make a "snow tree." You could also cut the tree from red paper, put it on a blue background and put white star brads on it for a patriotic theme. Or how about cutting it from green paper and putting shamrock brads on it for a very different St. Patrick's Day card or layout? Of course it would be pretty to cut it from brown paper for an autumn theme. I would leave it bare except for maybe one leaf brad laying at the base of the tree. That would be sharp! :) Maybe you could come up with even more ideas (and if you do, share them in the comments section with us). :) Be sure to check out all the great CottageCutz dies at Scrapping

Great job on using the tree. I had a misfit of a brain for using this tree. I knew I wanted it but couldn't for the life of me think of other ways to use it. So a BIG
THANKYOU for doing me a favor of giving me ideas. Good job.
