I followed this tutorial by Jennifer McGuire to make these trees: https://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2020/12/handmade-trees.html
I like the way the lighter version came out the best. I keep calling it the “Blue Spruce” tree even though I know nothing about trees and it probably looks nothing like one lol. The die cutting took a little time but other than that these were incredibly easy to make. It was fun to use paper to create something 3-dimensional for a change.
Materials used:
“Evergreen Tree”
- Concord and 9th Take A Bough Encore dies
- Concord and 9th cardstock colors: Parsley, Clover, Evergreen
- Benzie felt colors: Evergreen, Parchment, Rainstorm
- Bamboo skewer
- Wood slice
“Blue Spruce Tree”
- Concord and 9th Take A Bough Encore dies
- Concord and 9th cardstock colors: Oceanside, Sea Glass, Aqua Sky
- Benzie felt colors: Parchment, Rainstorm, Blue Spruce
- Bamboo skewer
- Wood slice
(I guess it can’t be too far off from a Blue Spruce if that’s what one of the felt colors was called!)
