I like to make a Christmas decoration each year for my 3 kids - none of whom live close by. It's just something little and I make one for us too so that we all have a little bit of the same in our separate locations, kind of trying to send them a little bit of home.
Usually I choose a different colour scheme each year and in 2015 it was turquoise, cucumber green, white and silver. There's no way I can make that kind of decision for 2019 at this point but I had fun playing with the gorgeous Peacock blue/green for this project.
A few years ago I made a hanging to go over a window or door or mirror using the tree punch and stamp. It was light and easy to post and the new Pine Tree Punch is just perfect to recreate them.
This is 2019
I love the hanging tree, so cute and easy.
Sending you a little bit of love wherever you are - we don't need a season for that!
I'll have more projects to post from my Christmas craft day soon.

and this is 2015
You can see more detail of this here with lots more (better) pictures of the 3 different ones.
This year's project was a good way to showcase what else you can do with your tree punch. Here's a few more closeup shots.
- punched fancy DSP on plain card
- punched champagne foil and embossing folder
- four tree shapes folded from tip to middle of base, glued back to back with a loop piece of twine adhered in the middle
- Sentiment tag with a wooden heart
- window tag - ie shape punched out and left open
- stamped tree punched out and raised
Thread onto a length of jute string long enough to stretch across a doorway with extra length to tie to anchor points.
....that's it.

I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
