I was invited to create a project using the Sizzix Bigz Die - Leaves.

Here is what I created.

I have some photos to show you how I created this little Christmas tree.

I started by stamping the cardstock with Clearsnap Jumbo Rollagraph Stamp Wheel Doodle, Clearsnap Jumbo Rollagraph Self-Inking Handle and Clearsnap Top Boss Watermark Ink. I heat embossed with Clearsnap Top Boss Embossing Powder: Pearl. I made 3 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock.

I used my Sizzix Big Shot Machine and Sizzix Bigz Die - Leaves to die cut leaves for my project. I mostly die cut large leaves and then die cut smaller leaves as needed.

I slightly curled each leaf with and end of a paint brush. I started at the base of the cone and evenly spaced and adhered large leaves using sewing pins. I did glue the leaves once I had them in the right position. I alternated the three different sizes to fill up the cone.

I added Clearsnap Glue Gloss to each leaf tip and sprinkled with Clearsnap Glitter: Peridot.

I painted the little pot to match the embossed snowflakes. I cut apart Clearsnap Design Adhesive: Let's Party and created the border around the top edge with Clearsnap Glitter: Peridot. The ball at the top is from a little branch I got at a store last year and it matches the glitter perfectly!!!!

I hope you enjoyed my project!!!
