Melissa’s Fab Friday Feature

June 2022 Release Day

Border Bling: Lotty Dotty

Introducing Tree Trimming Trio

September 12, 2009      Nichole Heady      688 Comments

One of the very first holiday themed stamp sets that I designed a few years ago was Take a Bough.  A fun little set that allowed you to decorate a limb with different shapes & sizes of ornaments.  While preparing for this holiday release a few months ago, it occurred to me how fun it would be to have entire trees that you could decorate in the same manner.  This is how Tree Trimming Trio came to be!

Tree Trimming Trio contains a total of three large-scaled trees that each have three openings for ornaments to be added.  The ornaments can be stamped directly into place or punched out and added in with foam dimensionals.  You can even use buttons or rhinestones too, if you prefer!  Many of the ornaments feature design elements from some of your favorite sets, such as Background Basics: Retro and Beyond Basic Borders.

The details.

  • Tree Trimming Trio will be available for purchase on September 15th.
  • It will retail for $24.
  • It contains a total of 28 images (3 trees, 15 decorations for the trees, 3 tree bases and 7 sentiments).
  • All of the ornaments coordinate with a 1/2" circle punch, which we will also have available for purchase September 15th.
  • The ornaments also coordinate with 1/2" epoxy dome stickers, which will be made available too.

Now let's get to some projects, shall we?  As I told you at the beginning of countdown week, not only would we be highlighting some quick & easy holiday cards, but also gifts.  Today's post will be full of easy, economical gift ideas that you can start on NOW in preparation for December!

Tree stamped

To begin, I'll start with the card portion of my ensemble.  I decided to use the polka-dotted tree as my focal point, so I stamped it onto Vintage Cream cardstock using Hibiscus Burst ink.  Notice the "empty" spaces that are designed to allow future placement of ornament images without requiring any masking.

Stamping ornaments

Next is the actual addition of those ornaments.  The ornament images are each separate, so you add three different ornaments to the trio of spaces, or repeat the same design in each space.  I chose to repeat the same design, but rotating them just a bit each time to provide a little contrast.  It is SO fun to go through and pick out which ornaments to use!

Constructed card

Here's the tree mounted on my card front, which is simply created with Hibiscus Burst & Spring Moss cardstock along with a center border of Raspberry Fizz Grosgrain Ribbon.

Adding sweet blush  

Here, if you look carefully, you'll notice the addition of Sweet Blush cardstock.  The smaller dots that make-up the polka-dotted tree coordinate with 1/4" hole punch.  All I did was punch a few circles from the Sweet Blush cardstock and adhere them into place using a 2-Way Glue Pen.  It's such an easy way to integrate another color without having to try to ink some of the circles separately or even masking.

Completed card 

Lastly, I added the 1/2" epoxy dome stickers to the Spring Moss ornament images I stamped earlier.  That addition makes them really pop and adds some interesting contrast and texture.  You'll notice that there's no sentiment on the cover.  I thought about adding one and tried a few different things, and finally decided that I would leave it as is.  It just allows more focus on that beautiful tree!

*sigh*…..Don't you just LOVE that little tree!  These little cards come in at only 57-cents each, including the envelope!  While I was designing them, I kept in mind to make them mailer friendly.  that's why I love the epoxy stickers so much!  They add such great dimension & detail, but are inexpensive and flat!  If you weren't mailing these and just hand-delivering them with your gift, the addition of
glitter, rhinestones, pearls would also be a fun way to take it to the next
level!!!

Now, earlier I promised you a quick & easy homemade gift idea.  I chose an ensemble that is truly a gift of relaxation & comfort, something I am planning on making for all of my girlfriends this year.  A Flannel Blanket & Heat Pillow Duo.  If you can sew a straight line on your SewMini, then you can create this inexpensive and well-loved project!

What you will need:

  • 5 yards of flannel (I got 2.5 yards each of two contrasting colors/patterns)
  • grosgrain ribbon
  • rice
  • sewing machine & thread
  • iron & ironing board

You will want to wash, dry & press your flannel before starting on your project to ensure there is no significant shrinking later when you wash the completed pieces.

Step-1-blanket 

Let's start with the easiest part, the blanket!!!  To begin, cut 1/2 yard from each color of flannel (setting the small pieces aside for later), leaving you with two 2-yard pieces. Place them RIGHT sides together on the floor, pinning the edges randomly around the perimeter to hold everything in place.  Use the sewing machine stitch around the outside perimeter, keeping about a 1/2" seam allowance. 

Pressing seam opening

The solid dots on the diagram above show you where to stop and start.  You will notice that you will want to stop & start on an end, leaving an opening that is not stitched shut.  This space will allow you to turn the blanket right side out. 

Finished seam

After turning it right side out and pressing all of the edges crisply, you will want to stitch around the perimeter one more time as a finishing stitch, using about a 1/4" seam allowance again.  Stitch right over where the opening was earlier and you won't even be able to tell where it was, as shown above.

You want to repeat the same steps as above only on a smaller scale for the heat pillow.  The two flannel pieces should measure 8" x 20" (taken from the leftover flannel you set aside earlier), placed right sides together and stitched around the perimeter leaving an opening.  Turn right side out and press.  Do the finishing seam everywhere EXCEPT where the opening is.  Use a funnel and fill the pillow with about 40 oz. of rice (I used two 20oz. Dixie cupfuls to measure accurately).  After the rice is added, you can go ahead and finish the seam on that end of the pillow.  SUPER easy!!!

Completed ensemble 

(click on above photo for a larger view)

Here's the completed ensemble, totaling about $15 in quality materials.  There is even enough fabric leftover from the five yards to create a little drawstring bag (threaded with grosgrain ribbon for the drawstring) to store the blanket & pillow in.  If you aren't familiar with these heat pillows, you throw them in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes and then place them on any areas of your body that you want to relax, such as your neck.  They retain the heat forever (nearly an hour!) and they can be used over and over again for years.  I can just picture my friends all cozy with their blankets and heat pillows, curling up with a good book on a chilly winter day!

One last detail that I forgot to mention is the handmade label I created.  I stamped the "handmade by" image from Quilter's Sampler onto muslin fabric with Raspberry Fizz ink.  I trimmed the edges with pinking shears and stitched the label onto the corner of the blanket.  I love the personal "designer" feel it gives to the project!  I am SO excited to give these gifts to all my friends!  I know it is something they will enjoy using throughout the year whenever they want to take a few moments out of their busy schedules and get cozy!  And you just can't beat the price!

I challenged the design team to create a holiday card with Tree Trimming Trio and also share some of their plans for homemade holiday gifts this year.  September is a great time to plan ahead so you can get an early start and have a stress-free holiday!  Enjoy!

    Terrific Tree Trimming Trio! Try saying that fast three times! Absolutley stunning. I so enjoyed Take a Bough in the past and love the idea of the versatile ornaments for the tree. Love the dome stickers! I had a difficult time finding them after the first Christmas season. They really add dimension to any project. The comforting pillow is a treasure that will be enjoyed by each recipient.

    Honestly, at first I wasn’t interested in this set. I already have most if not all of the previously-released PTI Christmas sets and I thought ‘nah…just some trees’. Well holy cow these are the cutest trees ever! My favorite thing is how the patterns coordinate with other PTI sets, but I also love that the scale allows me to use many different favorite embellishments as the ornaments. Buttons, dew drops, Primas, pearl beads, bling, beads, Stickles…

    I am so excited about this set. I own other stamps that have a Christmas tree image, however, on those there is no space for the ornaments so when I placed ornaments around the tree it never looked quite right. You’ve taken the guesswork out of it–brilliant. I love the versatility of this set and can’t wait to use it to make Christmas cards, tags, and gift wrapping paper.

    I have a predicament. I am new to PapertreyInk, and wanted to buy some sets to stamp holiday cards with. I was thinking of buying Taking a Bough and Snowflake Serenade, but then I realized that there will be an update on the 15th, so I held off. Then I saw the poinsettia stamp, and thought that maybe I should get that stamp instead of some other stamp set. THEN I saw this Tree Trimming Trio, and thought maybe I should get this set instead of another one. I have no idea which set I’ll end up with, but I’ll enjoy making cards with them.

    PapertreyInk makes decision making very hard. I can’t buy everything, but I sure want to! Thank you, PapertreyInk, for making stamps that I actually like.

    Tre Trimming Trio is a MUST for me. Being pretty much a “traditionalist” when it comes to Christmas colors, seeing all the “eye candy”, the various tree styles, the variety of colors used… helped me put a “SOLD” sign on this set. The examples helped by showing me how I can “branch” out. Ooooohhhh I can’t wait to get this…..love it, love it, love it!!!

    I love it, I love it. I am always on the look out for Chirstmas tree stamps, especially those that can be decorated without masking.
    The flourish tree is my favorite, it is gorgeous and so many ideas are going through my head!!
    Great idea!

    I love the blanket and pillow idea. One note, if you sew tge blanket’s first seam at 1/2″ and then do not sew up the hole where you turn it, then sew the next seam at 1/2″, it is pretty easy to miss sewing up the hole or just barely catch it leading to fraying later! You might want to recommend a seam allowance for the topstitching of less than 1/2″.

    My sister makes cards, and she told me to check out your website. I think she was “oo-ing” and “aahhh-ing” over the stockings post too, but I really like these trees. The swirly tree is my favorite.

    I absolutely love everything Christmas and this stamp set is absolutely wonderful. Mom started a ‘tradition’ probably when I was 5-ish of picking a theme or color each year for our tree. We’ve had a snowman tree, a Scotland tree, a white & silver tree, pink, red, purple, peach – the list goes on and on. And this set would be absolutely perfect to make ‘matching’ cards to send to family & friends to share our themed tree with them even if they are miles away and won’t get to see the ‘real’ thing!

    Decorating the tree is one of my fave Christmas ‘chores’ – stamping one would be even better!!!

    I so appreciate the emphasis on classic and easy. Great idea to allow spaces for personal, unique touches to these darling trees. One can mass produce quickly and yet add variety to cards. Wonderful set; can’t wait for the release!
