Hello and welcome back to the blog; happy Saturday! Today is Day 20 of the Holiday Card Series. For today's card, I created a shaped Christmas Tree Card to share with you today along with a step by step video tutorial. I created the shaped card base by using my Nested Fur Tree Dies (from Scrapbook.com ) and did partial die cutting on the fold of the card. I found it was easier to die cut the card as it was folded to create the shaped card base. Next I heat embossed the se
