I got nothin’ (original) for ya in the way of a title

Here’s a card made into the shape of a house, because my friend just moved.  I didn’t have an appropriate sentiment for a new home, so I just used the “thinking of you”.  I just love the simplicity of these Trendy Trees!  I can’t get enough of them. 

I used the Texturz embossing plate on the triangle that became the roof to mimic shingles.  I tied the floss through the card by poking a small whole with my paper piercer into the fold.  The card base measures 2 3/4″ x 3 1/4″ and the roof is attached with Stampin’ Dimentionals to the top front of it.

Tip: since you have to use the SAMJ (Stamp-a-majig) to line up these trees with their trunks, I make permanent sheets with each of the stamped images and keep them in the same box as the stamps.  I use the vellum card stock by SU! and cut it so that it fits inside the box.  This is also very useful for alphabet sets.  For this set, I wish I had used something lighter, like a green for the trees on my imaging sheet.  It would be easier to see when lining them up over the tree trunks.  What ink do I use?  Use whatever.  I used Black Stazon on this set, but I have also used Basic Black and it worked just fine.  Just make sure it dries completely or it might smudge.  Thanks for stopping by today!
