I have officially started creating projects for Christmas! You might recall I created a cute Christmas countdown a little while back (see it here). Well . . . I loved using the embroidery hoop as my "frame" and have been wanting to do more to create a cluster on my wall for Christmas. A trip to the craft store was in order and I purchased a few different sized hoops.
Here's my next one:
This is a great project for using up scraps of Core'dinations! I dug through to find a few colours to work together, cut strips and started assembling my "tree"!
Of course, this being Core cardstock, I couldn't leave it plain! I had to emboss and sand the strips in various designs to add even more interest.
The background is from the fabulous Kraft-Core Seasonal Impressions collection. Instant Christmas!
The starts were die cut from Core Couture Glitter Cardstock for a bit of sparkle!
This little tree was so easy and fun to make - here are a couple more ideas:
- For the front of your Christmas cards! These will be easy to mass-produce.
- Get the kids involved - maybe adding the stars or other embellishments to the pre-made trees.
Thanks for popping by and hope to see you back here soon!
