Making a Tree

I wanted to show you how to make a tree from a half circle.  I used my Circle Cutter (http://www.justimaginecrafts.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_56&products_id=285 )  to make a 5 inch circle and cut it in half so I can make 2 cards.

Next I used my Scor Pal to measure and draw a straight line at 1 1/4" and I folded it so the back side is on top.  Next step take  small top piece that is the back of your paper and make a triangle.  Last bring the front paper around.

  This is what the tree should look like.
So the white paper was my top and you see the small triangle, next is the green & white polka dot,which is the back, next he white (top) and last polka dot (back).  So you have 3 folds.  I kept them down with brads, after punching a hole in the tree where I wanted the brad to go (looks like ornaments).

This is what the card looks like and I will tell you how I assembled it.

I took the Christmas Tree and centered it on embossed piece of cardstock.  I added a brown trunk and made 2 holes to add some twine and tied a bow.I also added a blingy star at the top with the sentiment Merry Christmas.  I mounted it on 2 separate Christmas line papers, then put on my base.  I think this was my favorite Christmas Card I made this season.  I know I could not have made the circle without the Circle Cutter, since punches are not that big.

I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I did. 

Merry Christmas with Holly

I have another Christmas Card to share with you using Kreaxions Holly Punch #914 and my favorite Circle Punch.  I also using more scraps from the Bo Bunny line from last year.

Here is my card:

In the corners I used The Holly punch #914 with Insert C, which does both the corner and the Holly.

As shown in this picture: 

For the rest of the card I cut out a circle using the Circle Cutter and made a 2 3/4 inch circle.  I added some Bling and a sentiment from Stampin'Up.  I also put Stickles on the place where I punched out the Holly Berries.

These are the items I used:

3D Ornament Card

Hi Everyone,

I love the holiday's and especially the ornaments at Christmas time.  I thought I could add an ornament I saw to make it 3D, so here goes my try.  It was easy and I loved the look.  You can also fold down the ornaments on the front of the card to mail them.

Here is what it looks like: 

I will tell you how I did it.  First I used the fabulous circle cutter and set it on 1" and that will make a 2" circle.  I got 4 different kinds of Christmas paper that went together (mine happened to be scraps).  Then I cut 1 out of some cardstock scrap for the base that will not be seen.  The 4 different circles I folded in half, the side you like is in the middle.  Next I glued 2 halves together, from the sides I did not want to use and did that with each of the 4 circles.

Then I glued them to the cardstock so they become a 3D ornament.
I made 2 of those and placed them on the card at different levels.  I used some Trendy Twine to make a straight line to the top of the card.  Placed the ornament and put a bow on top.
Last I added some sentiment from SRM stickers.

This is the Circle Cutter I used from Kreaxions and here is the link:

Merry Christmas with Christmas Ornaments

I am making a Christmas Card today for the Just Imagine Crafts.com (http://www.justimaginecrafts.com/catalog/).  I went clean and simple with this one, using some scraps to make it easy.   also used my FAVORITE Circle Cutter, that I can't get enough of.

That is the card I came up with.

As I mentioned above I used the Circle Cutter and cut out circles measuring 1 1/2", 1", and 1/2".  I used to hate to cut circles and now I think up reasons to use my Circle Cutter.  I took a piece of red cardstock that was 1/4" on both top and bottom shorter than the base of the card.  Next I cut outthe circles in the 3 sizes and placd them different heights on the card.  Next, I had a rule and used faux stitching, whichif you had a sewing machine you could use that.  I made the line from the midde of the ornament to the top and then around the ornament.  I made a littl bow with some white twine and stuck it down with Glossy Accents.  I flipped over the red and put some scraps of paper and adhered them so you culd see them through the circles.  Last I added SRM Sentiment. 

This is the fabulous Circle Cutter.
