2015 Christmas - Stampin' Up! Festival of Trees

Stampin' Up! Festival of Trees is so versatile and fun. Today I wanted to show you how much fun with two cards featuring the tree in three dimension.  Mary created this stunning red, white and blue... the first in a recent class...

 The background is embossed with the Gently Falling embossing folder by Stampin' Up!

The tree is formed by adhering three trees together.  Simply stamp and punch out three trees, fold them in half on them selves and then glue one half to the opposite half of another and repeat.  I hope this You Tube video helps out!  You can then adhere this to your project.

2015 Christmas - Stampin' Up! Festival of Trees

Today is the seventh post for Christmas and this card features a layout using the festival of trees "Tree" punch, I CASEd from the 2014 Holiday Catalogue and I've seen again on Pinterest.  I love this layout as did the ladies that attended the class.  I used scraps and enjoyed using the glimmer paper.
