Avital's sketch / croquis d'Avital

Avital affectionne tout oarticulièrement les formes géométriques et a réalisé son sapin en coupant des carrés dans la diagonale. Astucieux n'est ce pas?!

How-to:

1. Cut the card base at 8.5" by 5.5" and score at 4.25" to create a standard size card.
2. Adhere a 4.25" by 5.5" piece of pattern paper to the card base.
3. Cut another panel which is 0.5" narrower and shorter than your card base.
4. Lay the letter dies towards the center of the bottom of your card. secure with repositionable adhesive and run it through your die-cut machine. If you have a digital die-cutting machine, you may use that alternatively.
5. Next punch or die-cut two squares of pattern paper, measured approximately 1.25" by 1.25" and cut each in half diagonally.
6. Adhere the triangles, one on top of the other, with a 0.25" margin between each other.
7. I hand-stitched a line across the center of the triangles, but you can run it through a sewing machine to make it go faster (if you are making more than one card at the time).
8. Add a button to the top of the 'tree', threaded with the same thread you used for the stitching (as I hand-stitched it, i just threaded the button and then went on with my stitching, so I didn't need to use any adhesive.
9. Attach the panel to the card base with foam dots.
10. Add Stickles to 'decorate' the tree.
11. Add the word 'Christmas' with letter stickers.
