It has been awhile since my last post, I really don't know how time passes so quickly! Anyway, as you will see I have been really busy making lots of Christmas projects because that time of the year is looming up on us again.
Rosette Tree: I have been wanting to make this tree ever since I first saw it at the Stampin' Up! regionals two years ago. I saw a tree on Pinterest and got a tutorial from there. I have been looking for the name of the person who pinned it and can't find it now. There are quite a few on there if you have a look. From there this is what I came up with. If you would like a copy of the instructions just let me know and I will forward them to you.
The original ideas for the tree came from both The Gentleman
Crafter and the Archiver’s Blog.
Below left: This is a card we made at our last team meeting Felicity showed us how and we used the Merry from the Expressions Thinlits Dies 132171 $42.95 . In this instance we backed it with some silver glimmer paper and I just love the effect.
Below right is the card I made using the actual Merry cut out. I also used the woodgrain embossing folder and the hexagon punch and you can't see it very well in the photo but one of our beautiful Frosted Finishes Embellishments 132150 $11.95 for 12 pieces. They are simply stunning!
