Give a Cheer
First, I took a standard size A2 white card and covered it with Dark Green Cardstock. I do that with these smaller size card because I want the base of the card to sort of act as the matting for all the pieces of paper. I don't want to make the paper pieces any smaller...which is what I would have to do if I did a matting for each. TIP: One thing i've learned is that when your done tracing the card onto cardstock you have to add 1/8 of an inch to the height. That's because you take up that 1/8 inch when you have to fold the card. If your using The Design Studio just add .125 inch to the height. If your using a ruler the 1/8 mark is the first line after the inch mark.
I cut all the paper strips with my Fabulous Find Cricut Cartridge. I ran the Bazzill “Bank Roll” green cardstock through Cuttlebug's Snowflakes Embossing Folder. I used my Ink Applicator Tool along with Peeled Paint ink and ran it across the embossing to being it out. After the paper are attached I added the wooden tree. It came completely painted. The one thing I added were Faux pearls. I added them to the circles that were painted on the tree. I also added some star gems. I needed a very strong adhesive to keep it in place because it is kind of thick. I used Glossy Accent but you could also use glue dots.
Then I cut a Spellbinder label 5 and added a heat embossed “merry christmas” to it. I added a small stocking to the right and a couple round candy's.
