I wanted to make a tree that looked like the trees from The Grinch. Except I wanted it to be straight, not bending at the top. The Merriest Trees dies are great for making all different sizes of trees!

I die cut the largest tree twice. The next largest size twice. The next size three times. I just arranged them until I got them to look like I wanted. All with Granny Apple Green cardstock. I used my Blending Brush with Granny Apple Green ink to add a little color on the edges.

I glued the trees together (just put glue on the bottom of each tree when arranging. Once dry, put glue all over the back to glue to the card base).

I added tons of Basic Rhinestones. I colored them with the Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green Blends. I used the light and dark of all three.

The sentiment is from the Merriest Trees stamp set, I stamped with Shaded Spruce on Basic White. I fussy cut into a rectangle. Added on top of the tree with Dimensionals.

The tree base is with Silver Foil.

The background paper is from the Merry Bold & Bright DSP.

Measurements:

Granny Apple Green 8-1/2″ x 7″ Scored at 3-1/2″
