Origami Christmas Card using Happy Medium

Hi Bev here today... I am sharing my xmas card with the origami xmas tree... including the instructions to print and a video on how to. This will make it easier for you to make your own also.

This card is made using the Happy Medium Christmas Kit from Creative Escape Papercrafting.

After making my origami tree I gathered lots of fun elements and accents to complete my card.

In the close ups you can see I added gem stones to the tree to make it sparkle.

I matted and popped up this piece and centred it on a ribbon border.

Pennants were custom cut, glued and I even stitched them

You can print the instruction sheets on 8.5 x 11" paper and create you very own origami xmas tree.

And for those that like to follow via videos... here is the one I did for origami xmas trees.

Thanks for stopping .... hope to see you again soon.

I then cut the print pieces to fit the base... some fun prints and stripes look great together.

I prepared the centre piece with foam to pop it and matted a die cut Sentiment. 

I decided to add another red ribbon to the bottom section.

Finally deciding on the finished design I glued together all the pieces and added the last red tied bow accent. It's amazing what you can do with just pieces of a kit.

This card started with the Sheep Ski Design digital image which I copic coloured and die cut using a Tutti nesting tag die. I then cut more sizes of the nesting die using papers from the kit. Lots of fun layers and super use of the silver glitter sheet. I tied them off using gold and silver ribbon from my stash.

Lots of layers in the background too for more colour and depth. I then added the washi tape border in gold and die cut the sentiment in gold glitter paper.

I added some white brads to the right side corners.

The card has fun and bright colours and lots of layers.. really easy but it looks great.
