This die is so great! And it is not hard to put together.
I made this card (and the next 3) smaller. It's just big enough to hide the tree when closed.
That way there is not so much 'space' to figure out what to do with!!! And it uses regular size cs for all the parts.
It's hard to see, but the ornaments are punched using the MS Ornament punch.
Each ornament has a jewel in the middle.
The jingle bells and orn. are all punched from metalic silver cs.
Hope you like the 'cool' look. It's pretty hot out right now!

Another masterpiece painted from the hand of Willie! This is adorable. I didn't know MS had an ornament punch. How did I miss that? Anyway I love this. TFS.

Thank you for your wonderful comments.
About a tutorial; I could not do it any better than karenburniston.typepad.com
Look at the top and click on video tutorials.
Then below the 3 it shows, click on 'show all'.
The Xmas tree instructions come with the die, but her tutorial is better.
Her video #6-#7 of the Birdcage tutorial shows how to get the card to lay flat.
The tree is easy - coming up with something to fill up the rest of the card - well...
The MS ornament punch I have only seen one place: franticstamper.com
Under punches.
