The last post I’d put up showed you how you can make a great little tree using a scallop circle. This project utilizes the same principle but on a much smaller scale. For this tree, I used the Boho Flower Punch:
At Convention this year, a lot of focus was put on the workshop and rightly so. The workshop is where we, as demonstrators, meet new people and that is what continues to generate a business for us. So, with that in mind, I decided to make a cute hostess gift for my winter workshops. One I could demonstrate and then leave with the hostess.
I used Bashful Blue cardstock for the base and made a pocket which I crimped on the bottom. I punched out a half of a 1 3/4″ circle on the top.
On the outside, I added a strip of Bashful Blue designer paper and tied over the seam with some Striped Organza ribbon. For the tag, I punched out a circle of Bashful blue DSP and tore it in half so the sky was blue and on the bottom was the snow. I added my little tree and a banner with “Merry Christmas” stamped in Real Red.
Then, on the inside I added a bag full of:
TAGS! I used the Sweet Season stamp set we received for FREE at Convention and tied them into a cello bag with a ribbon tie on top.
