Make a beautiful card with only one paper punch

by Cards_by_Paula @ Monday, 16. Jun, 2008 - 13:38:16

This card is part of a set of two I made following an idea I had for using my scalloped circle punch, I call them Happy cards.

Here's a photo of the finished card:

Happy Card

And here are the instructions:

1 - With your scalloped circle punch punch out the number of circles you'll need in matching tones of green.

2 - Also cut a rectangle for the trunk of your tree.

3 - Cut the rectangle to give it the shape of a tree trunk and trim the circles to different heights and overlap to creat the bush.

4 - Using one of the circles finish the tree and position it among the bushes (On the card shown above I then added some more bushes to the right of the tree).

Your tree and bushes are done. Embellish them and use them on a card or scrakboop page.

On the card above, the clouds were made from two overlapped circles coloured with some blue chalk. Here's another Happy Card.
