 Hi there Creators, I have done a Facebook video on this cute Rosette Christmas Tree and promised to share the measurements in a blog post, so here we are.... first up the tree!  I will aim to add the video to my YouTube channel too! It's a really sturdy little tree when you put it together with hot glue. You will need ideally 12 x 12" Designer Series Paper, the first one I made uses the beautiful Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper, and the second one I've used the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper the suites that go with both of these are just gorgeous! You'll need to cut each of the following: 12" x 1/2" 12" x 3/4" 12" x 1" 18" x 1 1/4" 18" x 1 1/2" 24" x 1 3/4" 24" x 2" I recommend for the last 2 that are 24" you cut double the width of the 12x12 card stock, then score it and then cut it in 1/2 (just saves an extra step).  Each piece you need to score and concer...
