I had a moral group progressive dinner the other night and we read the story of the three trees. I had made these paper tree ornaments for each person to take home with them.
This pattern came about because of my daughter Brynli. I was making the paper heart ornaments from strips of double sided designer paper and she came to my desk and said, why did you make the trees red? She was looking at them upside down and sure enough when I looked at them her way this patterned looked like trees, so I added the truck by folding a small strip and gluing it betweenn the bottom folds. I punched a hole for the ribbon on the top of the tree where the paper strips meet towards the back of the strip a little and added a slit and a punched star. I used liquid glue to hold the star and trunk in place.
Stampin' Up!'s designer paper called Woodland Walk is perfect for these becuase it has several papers with greenery and wood grains in it. The paper pack is item #117389 and you get 12 sheets, 2 each of 6 double sided desgins for $9.95. You can order anytime at my Stampin' web site. Wendythestamper.stampinup.net.
