Isn't this punched tree cute? I got the idea for it after I saw Mary Fish use SU's 1 1/4" circle punch to make a leaf for her flower stem, and I thought, why not tree leaves?
These sweet flowers and grass are from Rubbernecker's Kittie Kits Cause a Scene and are the perfect size for fitting under my tree.
I used the same punch for the tree trunk on chocolate chip cardstock, using the remaining piece of cardstock after I cut out the leaf portion. I then used my 1" circle punch for the center of the tree and adhered the leaves with glue. You can see the pieced sections in the photo on the left and how I inserted just a portion of the 1 1/4" circle. I then finished off the tree by adhering an olive green button with embroidery thread tied through it.
Want to know how I made those clouds? With my SU slotted punch! I just punched bashful blue and white cardstock at various depths, sponged the edges in ballet blue, and then glued them together. Here's a close up. The black buttons on each side of the main image panel were made with the Buttons #5 Sizzlits die.
