Festive 5 x 7 Christmas Tree Card |
If you have ever looked at my blog before you may have noticed that I have a thing for paper punches. They do exactly what the manufacturer says they'll do - which is awesome enough! but sometimes you can stretch their use with alternate applications. Well, that's what I'm talkin' about today. :-)
MS Punch Around The Page Edge Punch Loops |
The trees were made by first punching 12" long strips. They were adhered onto a Garden Green tree base and trimmed after each row. By the way, these trees are really just triangles with a brown piece of cardstock stuck to the bottom for a trunk. This reminded me of my early elementary school days. :-) It was a lot of fun to make them!

The loops part of the strip is not adhered to the base, so they stick out to give a 3-dimensional aspect. The trees are popped off the page to add more dimension.
