Christmas Countdown!
Hello again! Today I'm sharing my second project that I've done for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts. It's the Countdown Tree! You can order the kit for the tree with the base, words, tags and letters to create your own from their online store. To decorate mine, I used some of last years Graphic 45 Christmas Carol paper collection and more chipboard sets from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts. I used their Christmas Shape Set for the Street Lamp, Snowman, Hat & Scarf and their Flourished Deer Set. I added in lots of floral pick bits and pieces, Petaloo and Prima flowers plus a Poinsettia that I made on my Big Shot with a flower die and cardstock. Lots of Wow! embossing snow glitter gave it a wonderful wintery look.
As part of our Educator assignments with Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts, we do a tutorial to accompany our project and post it on their blog. I've uploaded a video on this one to show you how I put mine together and also included some process footage on how I decorated it. You can find the link to the video over on today's blog post at Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts.

You may wonder why in my photos the countdown tree is set at 12 Days Until Christmas. That's because in my video I used a Twelve Days of Christmas music track.
