Today I’m going to create a quick card in under 10 minutes and feature different products from the Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Christmas line. For process video click here.

To create this project I used: distress mica spray stain tree lot, Idea-ology Linen patchwork plaid tape, Christmas droplets, label stickers, washi tape, collage medium, tonic haberdashery scissors.

To start this card I’m using a kraft stock foundation. To create a quick and easy backdrop I’m going to be spritzing with some distress mica spray stain tree lot.

Here I am spraying some tree lot on the kraft cardstock. Because I wanted a spray pattern I did not add any water before hand. Once the spray stain was sprayed I then gave my foundation a quick dry with the Ranger heat tool.

Now we are going to be cutting some fabric tape to create a plaid Christmas tree. I am using the Idea-Ology plaid patchwork fabric tape. I cut the tape into pieces using the tonic haberdashery fabric scissors.

To create our plaid tree I am folding the tape over on itself and leaving a small portion of the sticky part visible.

I then placed all of my fabric tape tabs into a row of five for the base of my tree. Each fabric tab overlapse each other slightly.

I then created three more fabric tape rows. I created the rules of four, three, and two. On the top part I cut a small angle cut on both sides of the taped up to create a more triangular shaped and piece. At the bottom I also added a piece of tape to form the tree trunk. 

Now it is time to embellish the tree with some of the Idea-Ology Christmas metallic droplets. They say that applied with some distress collage medium.

to finish off this plaid Christmas tree I added a facetted Idea-ology star at the top.

Next I decide to add a peppermint striped washy tape border or to the card. 

For finishing touches I added a label tape sticker on the top left corner.

Thank you so much for joining me here today at the Funkie Junkie Inspiration Ave. Until next time, happy crafting!
