Now as we were assembling Christmas Tree # 2, the next light bulb went off that we could also make a beautiful tree using the Tonic Holly Corner Punch and Shamrock Green Cardstock from Worldwin. The corner punch would round off the square and create a beautiful diecut as well. To make Christmas Tree # 3, you will need a 2 7/8" x 7 7/8" styrofoam cone and 59 - 2" x 2" squares of Shamrock green cardstock. Next punch one corner of each square with the Tonic Holly Punch. Turn your square 45 degrees and place the punched corner at the top (north) now gently roll in the eastern corner and the western corner, do not crease, glue these together to make a cone shape. Note: these cones are slightly harder to make into cones without creasing them. Follow the directions from Christmas Tree #2 to assemble your tree. For a finishing touch I added a red rhinestone from Kaiser Crafts to the tip of each bough branch for a little bling. SInce my tree was primarily red and green, I used my Copic Airbrush system and R29 to airbrush my snowflake red. What I loves most is that the snowflake still shimmered even after I airbrushed it.
Check in tomorrow to see the next tree in the forest!! For this tree I added a gold doilie for a tree skirt. I am still trying to decide which tree I like best. Which tree do you like best?
