Scrappy Tree

"If you are a paper crafter, chances are that you have scraps and when those scraps are a pretty foil or glitzy glitter paper it is even harder to just toss them. Guess what? You don't have to! Let me show you how I turned these waste pieces into shimmering trees and made a Christmas greeting card. I used a pre-cut card yet this technique could easily be accomplished with paper punches as well and with any design you choose."
