Before we get to today's celebration, I just want to say how much I'm touched by all your sweet, kind, generous and sometimes funny comments. I have read them all (over 400 of them – wow!). Some have brought tears to my eyes and some have made me laugh. I know it's a busy time of year and to take time from your busy day to leave a comment, that means a lot to me! My readers are the best and I SO appreciate YOU! Ok – enough of the mushy stuff. Let's get to it…
Welcome to DOstamping Celebration Day #4 and today's easy, flat for ease of mailing Festival of Prints DSP Christmas Tree Card & Video.
Today's card was inspired by the bi-monthly demonstrator magazine, Stampin' Success. Each time I receive one of these magazines, I curl up on the couch and earmark projects that inspire me, as well as articles I find useful for my business.
Of course, I rarely make the exact same card, but this one is pretty close. In today's under 5 minute video, I share tips for cutting strips of the Festival of Prints DSP to make two cards at the same time…huge timesaver!! Great for any last-minute cards you still need to make.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and video~Dawn O

Thank you for sharing the great tip about cutting the strips! Love that DSP!
Tulle and you Miss Dawn are the bestest buddies a crafter can have. Seriously. Over the years I’ve learned so much from you and your wonderful tutorials. I wouldn’t be the crafter I am today without you. You’ve taught me a lot about sharing too. 😀 And this years Tulle ribbon has become my favorite accessory. When I first saw its gentle sweeping curves I fell in love. Took me a little while to figure out what to do with it but now I’m hooked. And a little goes such a long way. Now if we can just convince SU it needs to stay! I know…I say that every year about some accessory from the holiday catalog. Last year it was the jingle bells…this year..it’s tulle..okay…and the champagne glimmer paper! Hugs and Merry Christmas!
We always need timesaver ideas, thanks for sharing!
Love the Christmas tree card…great idea for using up all those scraps & a time saver to boot! Love that Tulle, thanks for the chance! Merry Christmas!
Great way to utilize all those small strips left over from other projects. Very cute way to highlight many paper styles.
Dawn- Love that cute and easy card idea! I will use this idea to make Christams thank you cards. It’s fabulous you can make two cards at a time!
Great use of scrap designer paper! Love the card.
You are the best Dawn! Very pretty cards.

I love your blog and follow it daily. The Christmas cards are all so wonderful. You are truly an artist and Inspiration. Keep up the good work.
Dawn, that is so cute and I love how its super easy.
Your tutorials are so valuable. You explain everything so well. Thanks for taking the time to share your tips and tutorials.
Great card and tutorial today…love it.
Ahhhh tulle…I’ve loved seeing what can be done with tulle…for me, the biggest hit this year would have to be its use on the ornament on the catalog front….so pretty.
What a simple lovely card! You are giving great ideas for me next year 🙂
I learn something new on every video! Thanks, Dawn, for sharing with us!
What a neat card, will have to make this one. Thanks Dawn, your work is great.
Dawn,
I look forward to your blog posts every day. You have given me so much inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy your videos, and the tips and tricks are always fantastic! Thanks for the inspiration!
Fun card!
I ALWAYS have scraps I just can’t throw away. What a super use of them in a cute card. Again thanks for the video to make it just that much easier.
thanks for the tip and for the chance to win some of that great tulle!
Hi Dawn,
Thank you for all the inspiration that you provide us newbies! May all the peace and joy of Christmas live in your heart all year long. Merry Christmas Dawn!
The new 4.5″ x 6.5″ DSP stacks/pads are my FAVE! So perfect for a card like this. Love this card . . . love the Tulle Ribbon! Thanks, Dawn!
I always have strips of paper left over. What a great way to use them up. Cannot wait to share with my stamping group. I agree with Jean about the tulle. I love it. We really do need to convince SU to keep it!
Great idea and tip of using scraps and getting two cards made at the same time.

Dawn I love this card. This card can be made so fast and still looks just great. Thanks as always.

Looks like I’ll have to get out my box of scraps. Thanks for the great idea!
Loved your quick and easy tree card! Just perfect for that last minute card to someone that you forgot to plan for. I also would love to win the beautiful tulle ribbon set.
Thanks so much.

This is a great, super easy card to demonstrator. Thank you Dawn for the inspiration.
Another great chance for this beautiful tulle! Thanks!!
Super cute tree–another reason to love double sided DSP! Love the idea that I can make two different cards just same design and that it’s mail friendly. I’ve never worked with tulle but would love to be able to try some.
I always look forward to your video tutorials…love them! I was also inspired by the same card and loved that no extra postage was needed to mail.
Hello! Love the card using the scraps
Good use of scraps! I never throw anything away.
Love this idea!! I’m late getting my cards made this year. This will help me to mass produce a bunch of cards and get them in the mail on time!! Thanks, Dawn.. . .you are AWESOME!!
You are simply “adorable” and SMART too:) Love your timesavers and inspiration. Love tulle tooooo:)
what a quick, cute and easy card. Great for last minute cards.
This is definitely beautiful . . . And easy to mail – that’s sometimes a stickler for me!
What a great way to use up my scraps! I never waste any ~ I’ll be happy to make this card for last minute Christmas cards. Thanks for the video, too! You are the best!
Thanks for the video! Love watching your videos. They are always so helpful!
Thanks Dawn for another great card and video. Love to find a purpose for all the scrap pieces of paper.
I love how simple this card is to make but how nice it looks! I am going to make a few of these tomorrow!

A fun way to use up pretty little pieces. I love to win some of the cherry cobbler tulle. I haven’t tried any of this yet.
You’ve convinced me…I have to try creating at least one of these with all the little scraps I’ve been accumulating this holiday season. You are a wonderful enabler my dear!
Hugs and blessings – Jean
