Origami Christmas Tree Fold and How to Cut and Layer Cardstock!

www.serenestamper.com The Serene Stamper: TINA ZINCK ~ Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator (CANADA)
Have you seen the "Christmas Tree Paper Fold" before? If not, I think this pretty origami fold for your cards will delight you!
This is a super easy technique and uses only four different size squares which measure 3" x 3", 2 1/2" x 2 1/2", 2" x 2" and 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". Once you've got the folding down pat, you'll want to make more of these paper trees!
I've created this video tutorial for you with each step by step instruction, as well as lots of card samples - and an ornament too!
Also, at the beginning of the video, I offer a little instruction on how to cut and layer card stock, which I hope is helpful for those of you who are new to stamping.
Photos, details, measurements and supply list can be found on my November 19, 2019 blog post here: www.serenestamper.com/2019/11/...

I was just thinking today that I was in a rut making my Christmas cards. This design was long forgotten so thank you for the reminder, Tina. I am going to finish my cards this week with renewed interest. And I love that ornament, too!

[@deskjockie4948]

Love your cards, and love the idea of making an ornament; I'd like to use the ornament as the front design. That way, the card can become a holiday memory each year when the recipient trims their tree! Thanks, Tina, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and the serene music you choose.

[@delited2cu]

[@ScentSational35]

[@geraldinehomenchuk8655]

WOW! How CUTE are these, Tina! Every one of them! Hard to choose a favourite! And the BONUS decoration! I'm so hoping that I can make my hands work to pull this one off, because they are just too much fun not to make at least SOME!!! I think I especially loved the one with the curvy banner across the tree ... love that Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set too ... it's an absolute must-have for anyone who is making Christmas, Holiday & New Year's cards! Thanks for another fun video m'dear & happy crafting in the days ahead!! 💕😘

Love this have just started card making even though I have essential tremors

[@wendywilson1736]

I do also. I just take it slow, and only do cards like these when I'm relaxed, and have lots of time. I have found that rushing, makes crafts, and anything else, more difficult.

[@judyestrada1446]

Tina- This video just came up in my You Tube feed , but I love it! I have some of these papers & supplies! Thank you for sharing. I am going to try some of these trees. 👏👏👏💞

ROTFL be instant before you said you were going to put on the champagne Shimmer Mist, I thought, wow wouldn't that be neat with some champagne Shimmer mist! These are so gorgeous Tina! Your family and friends who received these will be thrilled. I think I will make some of them into the ornaments, if I can find some paper I can fold. LOL I wanted to buy that six-pack of paper that has the beautiful Christmas photos on one side? And I could not find it in any of the catalogs. Thank you again for this wonderful video because I did not have dies and folders and all those fancy things and yeah, I remember doing this way back when. So thank you thank you

[@Serenestamper]

Thanks Shala. Yeah, I'm such a sucker for that Champagne Shimmer Mist! Regarding the First Frost Designer Series paper, it's sold out and is no longer orderable. SORRY! The good news is that it will be coming back in next year's Holiday catalogue!!!
