♥ Simon Says... some Vintage Christmas Inspiration! ♥

I couldn't wait to make my DT project for this week's Simon Says Stamp Challenge! It is to create a card and/or project using this gorgeous inspiration photo! So many fabulous things to inspire you. Love it!

I made a Christmas Tree using a paper mache' cone, beautiful stamps by Crafty Secrets called Christmas Joy Ornaments and some fabulous paper from Echo Park's Season's Greetings Paper Pack.

I simply wrapped the Christmas Ad paper around the cone, trimmed the excess and then adhered it to the cone. I then adhered some trim and twine around the tree. The adorable little bulbs were stamped onto cardstock, cut out and then drenched in glitter. I then hot glued them to the twine.

To finish the tree, I also used some more trim, seam binding, more stamped images from the Crafty Secrets stamp set, punched Martha Stewart snowflakes, Hero Arts Pearls, small styrofoam balls and lots and lots of chunky glitter!

When the tree was finished, I placed it atop a round box covered in music paper, trims and ribbon and more glitter.

As always, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore!
