Hey there! Today I'm sharing my latest CutCardStock DT project.
I have created a Rosette Christmas Tree. Grouping several of these together would make a great holiday table scape.
DCS Discount Card Stock: Canvas Textured Bonsai Green, Pop Tone GUM DROP GREEN Discount Card Stock, Royal Sundance Linen 80 lb EMERALD Card Stock, DCS Discount Card Stock: Canvas Textured Habanero Red Card Stock, DCS Discount Card Stock: Natural Twine Kraft Card Stock, Stardream Metallic GOLD CardstockSmall Circle Dies, Small Star Die, Mini Poinsetttia Dies, Hot Glue, Hot Glue Gun, Glitter Glue, Wet Glue, Ribbon
11 Rosettes were made by cutting 2 strips of card stock for each scoring every 1/2 inch. Accordian fold each strip and adhere the 2 strips together and end to end to form a circle.
To form the rosettes scrunch the accordion folded circles together toward the center and attach with a die cut circle on both sides with hot glue.
Sizes of card stock strips used from largest to smallest:
2 1/2 x 11 inches (2) for 1 rosette
2 1/4 x 11 inches (6) for 3 rosettes
2 x 11 inches (2) 1 rosette
1 3/4 x 11 inches (6) 3 rosettes
1 1/2 x 11 inches (4) 2 rosettes
1 1/4 x 11 inches (2) 1 rosette
Start with the largest rosette, which will be the base, and hot glue the next size to the center. Continue until all 11 rosettes are stacked.
You can call this finished if desired, but, I added another layer to the top. This piece was done with a 1 x 11 inch strip of card stock scored every 1/2 inch and adhered to form a circle.
I brought the inside edges of the circle together and hot glued to form a triangular shape as the tree top.
I adhered an inch sized circle to the top to cover the hot glue edges.
using a small star die I cut 3 stars and glued together to form a 3 D star for the topper.
The tree top and topper were added.
A piece of ribbon was cut. A bow was formed and added to the tree top.
3 mini poinsettia dies were used to cut flowers. These were layered with wet glue and glitter glue was added to flower centers.
The poinsettias were adhered to the tree to complete.I hope you have enjoyed my Rosette Christmas Tree project.

I love decorating for the holidays, from setting up the tree, adding a wreath to the door and other little touches throughout the home.
Hey! Today I'm sharing a project created for CutCardStock. If you like adding those little touches I mentioned above, this holiday decor piece is something you can put together with some pretty card stock and some die cutting.
For this project I used an inexpensive wood frame, Basis RED Cardstock, Basis WHITE 80lb Cardstock, Basis GREEN Cardstock Stardream Metallic FAIRWAY (green Card Stock, DCS Red GLITTER Heavyweight 12×12 Discount Card Stock , Silk GLITTER Opulent Opal 12×12 Card Stock, various dies from Crafter’s Companion and Spellbinders glitter, wet glue and double sided tape adhesive.
I chose one of the papers from the 6×6 paper pad to use as the focal. It was taped to the front of the frame over the opening. Turning the frame over to the backside, I traced the opening on the paper, Using a metal ruler and craft knife, I cut around the tracing. The outer portion of the 6×6 is saved to use on the frame front.
My die cutting was done next.
Four frames were cut for layering over the opening. The other die cuts will be for embellishing.
I cut 2 of the floral, 3 of the title and 3 reindeer for layering. Gold glitter was added to the reindeer antlers.
A little color was added to the embossed areas of the floral die cuts. I used ink pads and my finger to do this. The berries were colored with markers. I later decided to add some gold glitter to the white flowers.
The frame was left unfinished, although you could paint if desired. Some glitter was added to the focal image. Frames were added.
