Hello and welcome! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. Today I have the pleasure of participating in the Blog Hop with Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW) organized by Angie McKenzie for this Holiday Vibes Color Challenge with Decorative Trees.
On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. The challenge is very exciting today!
There were two color palettes to choose from- Traditional Colors & Coastal Colors. So this month’s theme for me ended up being “This or That?”since I couldn’t decide which color palette to go with.
Here are my four cards showcasing the beautiful colors of each palette.
The Traditional Colors are Garden Green, Real Red, Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist and Peach Pie. The Coastal Colors are Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, Soft Sea Foam, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.
My Project for today
This card was made with the Decorative Trees Bundle. The Merry Christmas sentiment came from the Reindeer Fun stamp set.
The reason I found this so exciting is that it challenged me to figure out which colors to use, and how to combine them onto one card. And I had a great time making all of the little stars and ornaments to decorate the trees with!
This card is made with the Traditional Colors. It does take a little time to make as you will be die cutting the trees, stars, garlands and ornaments. It is a lot of fun as well!
The Coastal Colors are used to create this card. Anotrher fun creation!
The other supplies I used are: Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Pecan Pie Cardstock, Crumb Cake Cardstock, Silver Trim (Online Exclusive), Rhinestone Basic Jewels and the Adhesive Sheets.
TIP: In order to avoid getting glue or tape where you don’t want it, use the Adhesive sheets on the top layer of the trees as well as for all of the decorations.
This or That?

Thank you so much for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed learning more about our projects. Have a most wonderful day!
I love them both, but really like the coastal colors!
Thanks Kelly!
Gorgeous! I would have found the color challenge really hard, but you made it work beautifully. The Decorative Trees bundle would be on my list if I didn’t already have too much Christmas-y/winter-y stuff…
There is no such thing as too much Christmas stuff! Just kidding! Thank you for your lovely comment.
Traditional is always beautiful, however the coastal colors really pop! Love them both!
Thanks Beth!
I like the way you’ve shown off both colour palettes and how they have created such different looks. The use of the neutral woody papers in behind them is what really lifts them for me. Great idea!
Thank you Jan!
Absolutely love that you were inspired by both color inspirations with this delightful bundle, Theresa! Brilliant to showcase these trees both vertically and horizontally with your layouts, too. Love your color selections, too. xx
Thanks so much Angie!
