    Trim A Tree Collection Inspiration with Melody

    August 12, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Hello! It’s Melody here on the blog today. This is my first time as a Guest Designer on the Spellbinders Blog and I am excited to be here.

The stencil in this collection was where my projects began, and they grew from there. It was quite an enjoyable process and led me to create one traditional card and one more modern card. Before I started designing either card, I stenciled a bunch of trees. I tried different color combinations including ombre and rainbow trees. There are so many ways to make these trees. You could die cut the layers from coordinating colors…
