3D Christmas Tree

 Only a week until Christmas! There is just enough time for me to post a few more Christmas ideas. Today I am featuring a card made using the Pennant Parade stamp set (122740 w/ 122742 c) and coordinating Petite Pennant Builder punch(122361).

Start by stamping your trees with Always Artichoke ink onto the same color cardstock. **Tip – stamp with the points closest to the edge of your paper so you can punch them out with the Pennant Builder punch. Stamp and punch out three “trees”.

Fold your trees in half with the stamped image toward the inside.

Once your trees are folded, tape or glue them together by stacking them one on top of another. After stacking all three trees together you can open them up so they form one 3D tree. Attach the tree to your card front and you will have a fun 3 dimensional card. The tree is also assembled in a way that will allow you to flatten it when you mail it.
