Here's another kewl thing to make using your Stampin' Up! scallop circle punch ... a Christmas Tree!
I got the idea for the punched tree from Crazy Stamping Girl's blog and when I showed the tree idea to my very talented stamping friend Erica, she suggested a wintry scene with a snowman. That was all the encouragement I needed to play, lol.
The details: For each tree I punched two or three scalloped circles from green card stock scraps (I used old olive for two trees and kiwi kiss for the third). I cut the circles into wedges & stacked them to make the tree: the bottom layer has five scallops, the next has four, the second from the top has three and the top layer has two. (As always, you can click on the photo for a closer look). As I got better at it, I found I could make a whole tree with only two punched circles, but you might want to punch three just in case.
I edged each piece with Whisper White Craft Ink© and assembled. A scrap of chocolate chip for the trunks and my trees were done!
Stamp sets used to complete the card: Merry & Bright (snowman & flakes); All Holidays (greeting).
Donna...this is a fabulous card. I will have to give those trees a try.

Donna, I love this idea! It inspired me to make a larger tree using the Big Shot big scallop die. You can see my creation and tutorial at
