Hi Stampers,
The past month I've been very busy getting ready for my favorite class of the year - The Christmas Card Class and Hot Chocolate Bar!! The class was last Saturday - and it was a FABULOUS time!!! This year the class was on my Birthday, which made it extra special - and I even had a room full of 40 people singing Happy Birthday to me at the end of the evening!! How many people get to say that??? I have the BEST Stampin' Team and Customers!!
One of the projects I created to decorate the Hot Chocolate Bar table is this Trio of Christmas Trees
I was inspired by the tree in the Holiday Catalog that was created with the Stampin' Up! Tree punch - so I started with that idea.
The Largest Tree - is created with Pear Pizzaz card stock punched with the Tree Punch. Lots and lots of them - but it went faster than you would think. They're attached to the cone with pins in a very uniform fashion! I topped the tree in my favorite way - I LOVE a bow topped Christmas Tree - so I used Lost Lagoon Taffeta Ribbon and pinned it onto the top of the tree.
The Middle tree - is created by wrapping and pinning ribbon around a cone. I had some retired Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding ribbon - so that's what I used (it fit in my this year's color theme and I'm a bit fanatical about fitting in with my color themes) I accented the tree with sequence from Frosted Sequence to add a little sparkle to the tree. If you don't have the retired ribbon the tree would look FABULOUS done in Mossy Meadow Stitched Satin ribbon - or even the Pear Pizzazz Chevron ribbon.
The Small tree - I punched a bunch of circles from Pear Pizzazz All is Calm Designer Series Paper. I attached them to the smallest cone with pins that were threaded with gold sequence from Gold Sequence trim.
I have several pictures from the event posted over on my Facebook Page and I'll be sharing a few more pictures with you in future blog posts!
If you would like to purchase any of the Stampin Up! products that I used to create this fun Christmas Tree Trio just click on the products below to go to my online store (I added the Mossy Meadow ribbon to my supply list since the Pear Pizzazz one is retired and I think this trio would look fabulous with the varaition in greens) :
