I will be sharing some holiday Crafting fun and create projects that will bring JOY to you
and other is upcoming Christmas season!
So check out today's Project #4, as it is another fun gift holder!
This is actually a little pre-made box!
It is soooo easy to just fold to assemble.
And check out my fun origami Christmas tree fold I decorated my box & note card with!
NOTE:
The circle for the tree I used on the box is a 6" diameter circle, cut in half.
The circle for the tree I used on the note card is a 3" diameter circle, cut in half.
I used the Mini Pizza Box-#144645= $6.00 (8)- page 152 in the Annual Catalog
And check out the cute 3x3 Note Card I made to match it!
3x3 Envelopes- #145829= $10.00 (40)- page 153 in the Annual Catalog
You can add a gift card, cash, chocolate or any other little gift inside of it!

Here is my 3x3 note card.
And I added some coordinating DSP to the back side of the envelope!
See how the note card fits perfectly into the Mini Pizza Box.
Just think of the endless possibilities of other items you can put into the box too!
**When folding an origami tree like this, I had to try to find
a piece of DSP that was green on both sides.
Here are my pieces......
I randomly stamped words, using Real Red ink onto a piece
of 3 1/2 x 3 1/2" Real Red card stock.
I cut a little scrap of Early Espresso card stock for the tree trunk.
I cut out a star out of Gold Foil Paper.
I folded some DSP to make this tree!
I added the Real Red Rhinestones onto the tree.
I did ruffle the bottom edge of the tree with my finger nails
too to make them stand up some.
I added some DSP strips around the edges of the box & adhered the tree in the center of it!
stamp set: 'Tree Angle'

Here are my 2 Mini Pizza Boxes....
and they both have a 3x3 note card & envelope inside of them!
Leave me a comment below & I will be mailing someone one of these boxes!
I traced a bowl to make my 6" Circle.
I cut the circle out with my Paper Snips.
I cut the circle in half, as you only need 1/2 of this circle to make one tree.
So out of this whole circle, you will get 2 trees!
#1- fold circle half like this.
#2- fold it back like this, lining it up directly with the folded edge.
#3- flip it over & fold down the back side.
I did not measure when folding these.
I just lined up the edges as shown in the photos above.
Maybe my little pie diagram drawing will help you out!
This is what it looks like when all folded.
I learned to do a fun tree fold like this years ago.
But my inspiration for today's trees came from my dear friend, Claire Daly from Australia.
Claire was our table mate on one of our SU! trips a few years ago.
She is just a lovely person & so very talented!
Deke & I were blessed to get to sit with her each evening for our dinner.
We are very lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know her.
Have a MARVELOUS Monday!
Happy Stamping!
