We do nonetheless have some cardstock die reduce tree packs in inventory if you would like to make one thing comparable. I believe this could possibly be a enjoyable craft mission to do with children too! As you will see under I performed round with utilizing the timber to make a garland however finally determined so as to add them to my tree this 12 months after which string them collectively as a garland for future seasons.

This is a bunch of the newer ones:
I added
wooden stars in between every group of 5 timber.

tree metallic die. These ones are double sided:
For these I used the metallic die and a guide die slicing machine. I used papers I painted together with papers from a previous Tim Holtz Christmas launch (these had been double sided and made this even simpler). To connect them collectively I run them via my stitching machine.
Facet Two:
I made a decision to hold these on the tree too. I like how they give the impression of being on there and I’d do a couple of extra. I punched a gap within the high tree after which used an decoration hanger to put them across the tree.
