Popped Tree

I have a lot of dies of a lot of types, but I have to say that my favorite is this tree die from a•muse studio.  It cuts like a dream through any material I apply it, and the die cuts just fall right out.  I made a couple of cards with it today, playing with some some Christmas patterned paper.

With this one, I cut three trees out of patterned paper and glued them together to make this popped tree.  It lies flat for mailing, but will bounce back up when it comes out of the envelope.  The sentiment and flourishes are punched, so the only stamping on here is the sentiment.
