Ice cream Tree for Christmas - What do you think?

 

christmas tree card made with ice cream paper punch

Hello Christmas Card Club fans and the team.  Our challenge this Sunday is to share cards with Christmas trees on them and I've gone for a fun, cheery punch art card and believe it or not I've used an ice cream punch to create most of the tree and the decoration. 

ice cream cone builder punch
I used the cone for the tree itself and the bottom of the ice cream part to create a garland which I've decorated with glue dots and gilded leafing.  I used both sides of my subtle dsp paper stack to create some more interest and added a simply white embossed sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set along with a couple of bakers twine bows. It's simple and fun and a great one for children to receive or make. 

This weekend we're in the garden while it is nice and doing chores indoors.  Hubby is vaccinating doing his bit today I'm so proud of him and Charlie. C will volunteer again once his exams are over.  


Enjoy your Sunday and see you again soon. 

Hugs Zoe x

Hi Zoe, fab card and a great way of using that punch too. I like the idea of getting more out of punches than for want is originally intended. Love the pic of your hubby and Charlie ... You're quite right to be proud of them! Hugs Elizabeth xx
