My friend Lyn gave me some of these Kraft Paper gift bags a few weeks ago
and I have been saving them awaiting inspiration.
When the new 1.1/4" scallop circle and the Merry Minis Punches arrived with the
Seasonal Autumn/Winter catalogue, the opportunity arrived to have a play!
I used scraps of retired Christmas paper and using a colour combo of
Early Espresso, Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Cherry Cobbler, I punched out
scallop circles and 3/4" circles, then assembled them in a Christmas tree shape.
I punched out some of the Merry Minis in Champagne Glimmer paper to add a bit
of Christmas sparkle to the tree. I then added a tree trunk by embossing
Early Espresso Core-dination card in the Woodgrain Textured Impressions embossing folder.
Thanks Lyn!
