I'm having more and more fun with my Christmas-related supplies! When I saw this sketch from Pals Paper Arts, I knew exactly what I need to break open:
I want so much to fill the middle with a big Christmas tree and so I started to play with the Lawn Fawn set Trim the Tree:
There has to be presents under the tree and I colored many of them. I have not counted but I think all stamps in the set comes with a coordinating die so even though the presents are small, it was easy peasy to cut them out. I used paper piecing on the tree so the top two layers have the stripes going in one direction that's opposite to the bottom layers. To make the layers pop, I just rolled up a glue dot and stuck that beneath the scalloped edge. It is a quick way to get clear foam adhesive!
