Trim the Tree with Concord & 9th Stamps and dies

 Having some fun playing with the Concord & 9th Trim the Tree Stamps and Dies to make some happy holiday cards. The first two feature a light pink to dark red gradient color palette for a slightly different twist on holiday cheer. The striped background is made from the three stripe stamp in the stamp set. The third card features a monochromatic poppy red palette with a split background featuring the Sketched Stripe background from Concord and 9th and the Tiny Text Christmas set from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous. I love the festive tree shaped sentiment from the Trim the Tree sentiment, stamped in the tree  cutout.
