Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Decorative Trees bundle includes dies that make beautiful layered Christmas trees! I’ll make a card with the bundle tomorrow for our blog hop, but I wanted to use the tree die to make a simple Christmas Tree ornament.

I cut three panels of Dry Brushed Metallic specialty paper and three panels of Winter Meadow designer series paper with the solid tree die. The tree die is symmetrical, so it lines up when you adhere the die cuts back to back.

I carefully scored each of the die cuts down the center and gently folded them along the score lines. I applied liquid glue to one half and adhered another tree die cut to the back. I alternated between the metallic specialty paper and DSP until they were all glued together.

I used liquid glue to adhere a gold 1/8″ trim loop to the top and used retired Opal Rounds to add sparkle to the DSP sections. I wasn’t sure if I should use sequins or snowflakes and whether I should use gold or white, so I just settled on the opal rounds since I had so many in my stash!
This was so easy and so pretty with the specialty paper! One of my first Stampin’ Up! project was making Christmas Tree ornaments, so I was excited when this idea came to me. So tune back in tomorrow for the coordinating card.
