WARM MY HEART SHELTERING TREE SWAPS...

Today I have the third swap card I made for the OnStage Local Baltimore event last November to show you.  I wanted to wait until a bit closer to Valentine's Day to share.  Since I had already done a masculine swap and a fancy fold sway, I went for a more feminine look this time with one suitable for Valentines, Anniversaries and more!  I used one of my favorite stamp sets, Sheltering Tree.  I hope you love it as much as I do!

A closeup of the focal piece:

I loved the Venetian Crochet Trim around the oval, but I ended up omitting it from my swaps.  I underestimated the amount of time it would take to glue all the little hearts (the different size hearts in the Confetti Heart Punch are perfect for this!) and glitter each tree and I did have to make 30 of them to swap!  Although I have to say that the Fine-Tip Glue Pen is AMAZING and certainly makes the job easier!  Here is a video on it:
