I love to stamp and love to teach others how easy it really is. I am married to a wonderful man and we have 2 precious little girls along with 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs and 3 dogs. I work full time so I tend to stamp and make videos in the middle of the night when the house is quiet :-) I am not a Stampin Up demo but most of what I use is from Stampin Up as I love their products and their service!
Feel free to use the ideas and templates on my site, a link back to my site if you do would be wonderful :-)
More Christmas card ideas for you. These beautiful Origami Christmas trees may look like they are hard to make but they really aren't...you'll have to try making them and let me know what you think.
They both use Stampin' Up Double Sided Designer paper (Bella Rose) and one uses Kiwi Kiss and the other Pink Pirouette. I used my Coluzzle to cut the oval in the designer paper and then created my tree and adhered to the front of the card. I also used a brad on one and a Rhinestone brad on the other.
They are quite fun to make once you have tried a few so give it a try! The card base is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and then folded in half. The designer paper is 4" x 5 1/4" and I used the 3rd ring on the Coluzzle to cut out the oval). The dimensions for the four pieces of designer paper for the tree are 3" x 3", 2 1/2" x 2 1/2", 2" x 2" and 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". Folding each square as follows: Fold square in half, open back up. Fold in half the other way, open back up. Fold corner to corner on the diagonal, open back up. Fold the other corner to corner on the diagonal, open back up. Now fold in the sides so you have what looks like a triangle. Fold left and right sides of the triangle in towards the middle. Repeat with each of the other squares. Stack on top of each other to form the tree.
Have Fun!

Thank you so much for this lovely card idea. I just finished making two beautiful cards thanks to your fantastic video!! I just love each of these techniques. I will definitely be making more of these for the special people in my life at Christmas!! Thanks for sharing! I love your ideas.
I just love this! I couldn't sleep last night and decided to get up and make a Christmas card, and yours was on my mind! It was fun, and I love the look. Did you make a standard size A2 card? My tree looked a little large for that, so I used only three sections but I still love the way it looked.
Your Christmas tree is awesome. I really like that you added the sparkle on each section. I also was wondering if the card size is 4.25" x 5.50" or is it larger. Thank you for the excellent video.
Sorry, I think I was concentrating on how the tree was created rather than the card. I have added all the dimensions to the actual post now...yes, you are right, the card is a regular sized card and when closed measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
Just ran across your blog today. Great tutorials!!! Thanks so much for making them. I was so inspired, I made this card while I was watching. Love the origami cards.
Thank-you very much for sharing this beautiful design with the world. The cards were surprisingly easy to make, even for an amateur cardmaker like myself, and the result is absolutely stunning.
Thanks again,
This is an amazing card idea. I am 13 and have just finished making the card for my parents with the help of your photo and video! I didn't have the exact card nor did I have the special machine, however the card turned out brilliantly! Thank you very much xxx

I am in love with this beautiful card. It looks very complicated, but indeed is very easy. Thank you very much for the instructions.

You remind me how lovely this card is. I did the same (of course in different colours) last year.
