DECORATIVE TREES VARIETY

This week let's decorate our Christmas trees!  I will be using the fun Decorative Trees Bundle this week.  When I first saw it in the Fall Mini catalog last summer, I didn't think I needed another Christmas Tree set, but then I saw the die cuts for this bundle at a retreat I attended in August.  And that totally changed my mind!

This bundle has multiple decorative dies to put on your solid tree die cut, and I'm going to show them ALL to you today.  We made this simple little fun fold card at my Christmas Card Stamp a Stack in October, and since we were creating a "stack" of Christmas cards, the attendees made one card with each of the trees.  This first one uses the plaid die cut.

Before I show you the other three cards, let's look at the fun fold a little closer.  It is basically comprised of a card within a card and is a vertical version of a Joy Fold.  The smaller card in the center overlaps the fold of the larger card at the bottom.

First the small card opens and then the lower part of the larger card opens.  Super quick & simple to make.  The designer series paper (DSP) is the Take a Bow 6" x 6" DSP, and every piece of a 6" x 6" piece was used to make one card -- including the decorative strip on the envelope flap!

For all the details on this Fun Fold, here is a tutorial that you download.  It includes a cutting diagram to maximize the use of a 6" x 6" piece of DSP.

Now here are the rest of the tree design die cuts.

Here is the "striped" version.

Here is the version I call a Charlie Brown Tree.

And maybe my favorite -- the snowflake tree.

Which is your favorite?  They are all so cute aren't they?  The die set includes a die that cuts out 6 bows at once, so each tree got 6 little Real Red Bows.

Since the Take a Bow DSP has 4 different double-sided patterns, I used a different DSP pattern for each card which shows off all 8 of the different patterns.  The Basic White background behind the trees was embossed with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder.

Listed below are the supplies for each card.  A tiny double bow was made with Real Red & white Bakers Twine.
