Card Kit - Christmas Tree with Burgundy Scallop

I made another Christmas card kit for a silent auction at a family reunion this summer.
I used a parchment card stock cut to 5.5x8.5" which is folded in half. I trimmed the decorative plaid paper to be 1/8" smaller than the card front. The tree is cut with a Sizzix die from moss green paper. It has been chalked green on the tree and brown on the trunk. I added burgundy balls (.25 punched shapes) to it. I created the greeting and color printed it onto parchment paper and punched it with 1.25" punch. It is layered onto a 1 3/8" moss green layer then onto the burgundy scallop. I glued the Christmas tree onto the card front then added the scallop greeting. The burgundy sequin star is held in place with a glue dot.

GG - Kraft Christmas Tree

This design was based on the circle greeting 3D stickers I had purchased. It was a challenge to find paper to match them.
I created a snowflake background and color printed it on parchment bond paper. It has a rectangle frame to highlight the tree. The tree was die cut with the Sizzix Christmas Tree #2 in Kraft card stock. The snowbank was cut from silver foil paper with the Creative Memories wavy cutter. Glue the tree to the card front leaving room above for the star. Glue the snowbank to bottom of the card below the tree. Trim the silver paper to the card edges. Remove the release paper from the circle greeting and place the 3D in the top right hand corner. Remove the release paper from the Zot on the silver star sequin and place at the top of the tree.
