Christmas Card 13

I love this idea of the folded Christmas Tree card.  I saw this on the SU Demonstrator site and had to learn how to fold this awesome Christmas tree so click here or here to find out how.  The tree is simply zig zag folding of half of a circle.  Double sided DSP gives the stunning effect shown below.  You can, although, stamp a piece of card on both sides if you wanted the same colour all the way through...hmmm will have to try that!

Garden Green is the base card with Very Vanilla embossed with Perfect Polka Dot (117335) as the background for the SU DSP tree and Cherry Cobbler seam binding.  The greeting is from Joyous Celebrations (W128066 / C128069) stamp set.

Above is my first attempt with the tree and the layout is cased, and then I got to playing...Big Tree - no scallops

Garden Green is the base card with Very Vanilla embossed with Perfect Polka Dot (117335) as the background for the SU DSP tree.  The greeting is from Greetings of the Season (W128030 / C128033) and stamped in Cherry Cobbler.

Back to little tree with scallops...

Cherry Cobbler is the base card with Very Vanilla embossed with Fancy Fan (127751) as the background for the SU DSP tree and Pear Pizzaz (retired) seam binding.  The greeting is from (W128030 / C128033) and stamped in Cherry Cobbler.
Cherry Cobbler twine ties the Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons on the Seam binding.
I enjoyed folding these trees, I hope you give it a go and enjoy making them too.

Love and holiday cheer,
