Christmas Card Club - Blog Candy Alert!!

BLOG CANDY ALERT!!!!
Are you finding that the weeks are whizzing by far quicker than you would like?  I can't believe we are already onto another Christmas Card Club challenge and this time it's set by Karen   and we are using origami or tea bag folding on our cards.  Having not ventured into tea bag folding before and not an expert on origami I was relieved when I received a beautiful tag swap from my friend Jayne, a  fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator at the annual Stampin' Up! Convention in Brussels last month.  I've cased her tag having gently opened one layer of her cute tree to work out how to fold the papers.  Of course for a card I've enlarged it, but still managed to use the designer series paper stack Trim the Tree from the Stampin' Up! UK autumn/winter catalogue.  You can put on whatever background stamp you have to create a back drop mine is Hardwood and Jayne used Dictionary and I used a sentiment from the free  set that was on offer from Stampin' Up! last month Good Greetings.


BLOG CANDY DETAILS!!!

I have a Good Greetings stamp set to give away to someone.  To be in the draw all you need to do like my Facebook page Zoe Tant UK Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator  and leave a comment to say if you'd like wood or clear mount if you win.  Enter by the end of November and I'll draw a winner in December.

As you know I'm a fan of bling and so I was pleased to add a larger star of red glimmer paper using the Star framelits.

Today we're off to celebrate a friend's 60th so I'll share his card with you soon.  Don't forget to stop by the other lovely ladies in the Christmas card club. You can find their blogs listed in my left hand side bar.

So are you going to tell us how - or do we all have to work it out ourselves?

A fab tree, and a wonderful take on Karen's Folded challenge. I love the way you've used a different color for each tier of your pretty tree. It looks beautiful. TFS & Hugs
