Season's Greetings - December 13th with Lisa

Hi again! It's Lisa here and I'm thrilled to be here once more to welcome you to today's episode of

Season's Greetings

I love changing things up with my Christmas cards and creating unexpected designs so when I was coming up with themes for my days I knew I wanted to do something with colour!

Using a non-Christmas colour scheme.

I don't know about you but when I think of typical Christmas, colours such as gold or silver, red or green and these are typically just not my colours. My Christmas tree this year will be pale ice-pink, glass and a smattering of gold (as a nod to tradition) so I thought I'd translate this onto my card for today.

I picked out shades of pink, some white and a hint of grey from Christmas papers and some glitter sheets and then looked online for some design inspiration. 

Pinterest came to my rescue of course with this geometric tree design. 

Simple, quick and effective. Just the type of thing for me!

A little white twine at the bottom and then a simple message in dark grey was all this pretty design needed. I made two at once and they came together in under 45 mins with some tree shapes left over for at least another card.

If you prefer to make your cards in traditional tones, this design would look beautiful in different shades of green against a red background and some gold thread too. In fact let's face it, this card would look great in any combination of colours that your heart desire! Cut out the triangles and layer them up - it's as simple as that.

You know that we LOVE it when you share!
