It's Merry Monday time again.
This week I'm the hostess and this is what I chose.
This is what I did after being inspired by these cards by
Princess Judy Palmer of Blog This
I don't do paper folding well, but I did manage to get these squares folded.
I used these directions done by Leann Greff.
I cut a 3" strip from DSP, then cut 3" x 3", 2 1/2" x 2 1/2", 2" x 2", 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" squares.
I had a 3" x 3" square left which I folded and just added to the bottom.
I loved the way it fit on the Filigree Frame embossing folder!
It even looks like a tree stand beneath the tree.
(Well to me it does anyway.)
It's a bit thick with the double sided paper.
I don't think it will make it through the mail.
I'm sure I'll find a home for it though.
I'm taking it over to
My embossed piece and star were from snippets.
I hope you'll join us this week at
I'm betting you can find some red, green and white
to put on a Christmas card.
So glad you could stop by.
Enjoy!

This is beautiful Bonnie and I love it. I will be leaving the folding to you though...I gave Judy some Iris books as I didn't feel the need to do any!! LOL!
I have some serious catching up to do so will be around later this week.

Great tree and card. Thanks for the instructions. Great thing for the kids to make :)
Nice card! I have never seen this folding technique, very cool. Hope I'll get to play this week!
Your tree looks like fancy origami and it's just lovely! Love your challenge this week, Bonnie :)
Bonnie, I don't do tea bag folding, but looks to me like you've aced the technique. This pretty green tree is gorgeous against that lovely white embossing. I'll have to nip over to PJ's and see what inspired you. Haven't managed to get to visit her for a bit. The noise didn't stay too long, thank goodness, and we've sunshine trying real hard to stay put today. Warmer, but a bit windy. I'm playing catchup, and then hope to finish up something that should not be taking me so long!!! Hope you are all better by now. TFS & Hugs
Hi Bonnie ! I can't wait to see how this was done because it's simply gorgeous! You framed is beautifully with light embossing. So very elegant!
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
Hi Bonnie
Fabulous.... Love it...

So pretty. Love your folded tree and pretty embossed layer.
LOVE your tree. You did a great job with it. The embossing on the background is perfect. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! xo
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing the directions. Love the patterned paper you used!
Cool idea...and I LOVE that EF...it is beautiful!
Great paper folded tree card Bonnie. Love it. xxx
So creative!
Wow Bonnie, just fabulous! Great use of snippets - and I spotted the little stand at the bottom of the tree even before you pointed it out! Thanks for the link - I need to try this one out ASAP!

This is so awesome! I saw it over at Merry Monday, I must have missed it at my last visit here...I had to come take a closer look!
Bonnie, this tree is adorable :) Love it!
Love this tree. Would like to try it and show it to my stamping group. I looked at the other lady's site but I don't see what the 3 inch strip is used for. Maybe to attach the "branches" to? Anyway I am going to try it as soon as my company leaves. Yours looks different from the one on the other site and I like it better. Seems fuller. maybe it is because of the pattern? Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful tree - and it looks so perfect framed in that embossing folder! And what a great Merry Monday challenge you chose - I really do love the traditional red and green. I'll get a card done today or tomorrow for it.

Gorgeous Bonnie - really gorgeous. You knock my socks off!

Such a fun design with the Origami folds Bonnie. LOVE this paper from SU! ... my favourite of all their Christmas papers. And you're right, the tree is framed beautifully with your embossed background. Loll xx
Gorgeous. You did a fabulous job with your oragami!! And I LOVE how it fit so neatly in that embossing folder open space. Lovely!
Another sensational card, Bonnie! I really LOVE this tree - just fabulous! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Fantastic and intricate card! Beautiful!!
Love your Origami tree Bonnie, lovely CAS design.
How fun! I learned how to make these at my stamp club recently. I think I knew about it from somewhere deep in my past. They are fun to make and make a fabulous card. Yours turned out great!
