Ink Stamp Share November Blog Hop: Christmas Tree Decoration

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. Today I am taking part in the Ink. Stamp. Share blog hop. You may have arrived here from Tracie, welcome, I am Gez & I am a UK based Stampin' Up! demonstrator. The theme of this months blog hop is Christmas Tree Decoration. I have always wanted to make this tree dec, I first saw it about 3 years ago made by Mixed Up Crafts. I thought it looked amazing and quite complicated, but still want4ed to give it a go. I have never got around to it so this theme gave me the perfect opportunity to make it. I have added some foil sheets to mine which I think really adds a bit of 'wow' and luxury to the bauble.

    • Flip the card stock over and score on the opposite long side in the same way
    • Score two diagonal lines in each square next to the square you just scored in
      • See template below that shows all the score line
    • Punch a small hole in the squares that have not been scored in at one end only
