All of these adorable elements were cut or punched out of the Home for Christmas designer paper in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog for 2015!!

Being a former Structural Drafter… here is how my brain works… some of you will relate… if you don't, that's ok too… the video will help 🙂

I embellished each punched tree with candy dots and a punched gold glimmer star!

Compare the difference… the trees above were punched out of the Home for Christmas tree patterned paper, and the trees below were fussy-cut individually out of the paper…. the punching is quicker, but the hand cut ones are so super pretty!!

The Santa and reindeer (or Bambi as I like to call him) are also cut out of the printed paper from the Home for Christmas package.  I added the smallest rhinestones onto the tips of each candle on the trees.. so pretty!

The perfect touch to finish off this card was a Wooden Snowflake embellishment with an Iced Rhinestone in the center!!  As I mentioned in the video, I colored the center of the rhinestone with a red Sharpie Marker. 🙂

Here are 3 versions of this Tri-fold Christmas Card – the video will show you how to make them!  Later this week I will post close up photos of the snowflake card (designed by Susan Adams).
