Day 8 - 12 Days of Christmas - Christmas Tree

I have a good friend who is from Canada - it was SO fun to see her and meet her daughter at On Stage in Vancouver, WA back in November.  Somehow we connected a few years ago and it's wonderful to be able to follow her blog and see all her great creations!  She recently shared a beautiful Christmas Tree card and I begged for the directions - finally, finally I was able to make it!  I wanted to share it with you because it's just SO gorgeous

Isn't that just gorgeous?  It's a gatefold card - one of my favorite folds.

I thought I would do a little picture tutorial on how to fold the pieces

You will need 4 pieces of designer series paper cut 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2", 3"

I will do the 3" since it's easier to see

First fold it into a triangle

Open up again fold into a triangle the opposite way

Now flip on the opposite side and fold in half

And now turn it and fold the other way in half

Grab it and fold two sides into the interior and make two facing triangles

Lay it flat and on one side fold into the center

Do this with all 4 pieces

Layer the pieces, pushing the bottom one up into the smaller one - use a glue dot to keep them together

Then adhere them to the Gold Foil Sheet cut into a oval

Here is the inside sentiment

For fun I used the new Gold Wink of Stella pen and "painted" the stamp!

It's hard to tell, but really sparkles!  These will be available on January 5th - silver and gold!  Something to look forward to
