Holiday Creating with the NEW Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree Die of the Month from Amazing Paper Grace...

 

What a magical sight to see a beautifully decorated Christmas tree with gifts piled high around its trunk! The Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree includes a set of graduated trees for a full dimensional design, along with details of presents, bows, and ornaments to complete this set. Change up the colors for an elegant or casual look. Best of all, it folds for easy mailing. Use just the elements to work with a flat card format from A2 to A7. Detailed die cuts make it easy to personalize for the holidays. The choice is yours!

Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.
 


There are 21 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree.
 

My Project Today using Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree.



Can you believe that this is the first time I've worked with one of the 3D vignette designs by Becca Feeken?!?! I'd been a long time admirer of them, but had just never gotten around choosing a favorite, purchasing it and creating with it! I was super impressed with how easily this whole design came together! 

I created the 3D Vignette Christmas Tree card as it was intended to be put together...but I also created a quick and easy card to show you that these elements work beautifully for traditional card making as well!

Let's start with the original version...


I decided to go with a shabby chic/Victorian kind of theme and opted to use a teal patterned paper for my main tree base...and accent it with a lighter printed patterned paper as the tree front. I've used silver foil for all of my accents...and I love the monochromatic look of the ornaments and how they match the outline of the tree!

I opted to use cream card stock to give the entire project a softer and more antiqued look to go along with the Victorian style. The base was super easy to build and holds the tree pieces in place very well! I chose to die cut the sentiment using card card stock as well, and back it with silver to match the color on the tree. 


The dimension in this design is absolutely amazing! In the photo above you can see how all the layers come together...and I love how this super dimensional card folds flat so you can still mail it!

Moving along, let's talk about the second card creation I made with this wonderful set of dies!


For my second creation I wanted to do something super simple! I chose a 6x6 card...I love how the layered tree works really well for a card front! It's a great size that you can customize for your smaller cards to all of your larger sizes!

I wanted a pretty lace like die cut to coordinate with the lace on the card panel I chose to use! The delicate die cut from the Celebrate Scrollwork Card Builder from the Holiday Medley Collection was perfect!


I wanted to do something a little different with the sentiment...so I chose to cut it into pieces and use all of the words included in the set! I thought it turned out pretty cute...especially with the cream colored buttons I added as a vintage style embellishment!


I also love that I was able to keep the tree dimensional even though I was adding it to a card front! Just think...you could use the tree in a single layer, a double layer, create a forest...the possibilities are almost endless!!!
 
Designer Tip:  Let's talk about those adorable gifts under the tree! They work beautifully when die cut in sold colors, but I wanted to give them the appearance of actually being giftwrapped...so I die cut them from some patterned papers within the collection I was using so that they would coordinate with the tree! I thought they turned out super cute!
