Christmas Rosettes

Why make a card that will be thrown away once Christmas is over?

This year I have made more cards that can be used as Christmas tree decorations. They are a variation on a theme. I used a Martha Stewart lace edged punch and then scored the paper to suit the edge design. I used a tiny hole punch on the other edge of the paper and used a needle and thread to pull it up before gluing the short edges together. I've tied doing it without threading but I need 4 hands not 2 to get it neat! You need 2 strips to make each rosette. I used 1 1/2 inch strips. The centre piece is a 2 inch circle with a stick on jewel in the centre.

I made the second one with some small felt poinsettias I bought several years ago. Both have a glitter card backing with a ribbon loop sandwiched between.
