“Pine Branch Christmas Tree” Card

I have seen pictures of this punch used for Christmas trees but this is my first time doing it.  Not hard but it did take about 40 "Pine Branch" punches and I do not have the one you squeeze.  I cut a basic tree shape and then went to town filling it in with the pine branches.  I of course had to bling it up so I used pearls and jewels and a bow for the top.  I started off wanting to make a white one but once I saw the designer paper I was going to use I changed my mind.  Maybe the next one will be a white one.   I am entering this in DYSU (Do You Stack Up) challenge at: http://doyoustackup.blogspot.com/2011/10/dysu-challenge-42-trees.html   The challenge is “Trees” so I think this fits.

McGill – Pine Branch

EK Success – Corner Punch

Green, Red and White card stock

Double stick tape

Dimensional tape

Paper from – K I Memories – “Holiday Fun Paper Pad”

Paper from – K & Company “Best of Brenda Walton” for trunk of tree
