Happy Monday! I didn't sleep a wink last night (late-term pregnancy side-effects), so I really thought I'd be back in the bed sleeping right now. I actually did get into bed, but I checked the Mojo sketch for today on my phone & popped right out of bed, excited with my project idea!
What do you think? When I saw that tall, skinny panel on the sketch, I just knew I had to do one of these trees, which is made from 1/2 a circle.
I took a piece of the Brights Pattterns DSP & used my Circle Scissor Plus to cut out a 5 1/2" circle. Then I cut it in half & began folding lightly to get my tree shape before making strong creases. I decorated my tree with our new Dazzling Details glitter glue & the little circles from the Bitty Punch Pack.
I didn't have a great tag stamp, so I created this one from the Every Little Bit stamp set & the Pennant Parade stamp set. It turned out really cute!
I am using the Snow Burst Embossing folder on tons of projects these days! I love it on all my holiday cards.

Hi Amy,
Now isn't that a CLEVER idea? I may just have to try this one myself. It worked perfectly for your card and for the sketch, don't you love when this happens?
Happy Creating,
Barb
