I finally found a local group of stampers! I am so excited. I got to stop by and meet them for about 30 minutes Saturday and I got all the stuff to make 5 cards since I couldn't stay. When I was leaving, Kelly (the club leader) mentioned she would post the instructions for the Origami Christmas card on her blog - I broke out in a sweat! I am fold challenged to say the least - especially if I have to read the instructions rather than watching someone. But this one was actually pretty easy. I will be making some more soon. I was missing one of the squares when I got home so I had to substitute some different paper from SU! for the green part of the tree but I think the rest of the paper is from HL and CTMH.

Love the "quilted" look of this tree my friend! The musical bg is so perfect and this card will usher in that old-time feeling! Beautiful! LYMI

Origami Nancy - now, you know zee Fruitcake can't do one of these. I've never seen this done to make a tree. I really need to try this if my Fruitcake IQ can handle it. You did a terrific job!
