It features one of those folded trees that you probably have all seen around but the unusual thing about this one is that I used double-sided foil paper. One side is green, the other gold. It is very popular in Germany for all kinds of Christmas crafts and comes in a variety of color combinations. I brought some back some time ago especially with those trees in mind. After I folded it, I dry embossed it and added a foam mounted star punched from gold glitter paper. The rest is pretty self explanatory, I think, but if you have any questions please let me know!

Oooh I love that tree! I haven't seen the folded tree's before so will have to travel thru Google land to find some instructions. It looks fantastic with the two colours and love that you embossed it as well, clever thinking!!
Love how you managed to match the embossed swirls with your stamped background. Thanks for linking up at ATSM, Anita x
Your Christmas tree is SO eye-catching! Das ist aber scheon! Ganz original und kreactiv! Danke für deine Teilnahme bei Virginia’s View “All About Metallic” Challenge! PS: You know me...I like to show off my broken German every now and then :)
BTW I also love that your originality comes from being a German. I love the tree-folding! Ich liebe Deutschland!
So so pretty!! Thanks for playing at ATSM!!
That is some serious shine and a gorgeous design, Susanne! Unique and a winner to me!! Hugs, Darnell

Love that foil & embossing...Beautiful
Super, Dein gefalteter Baum - und das embossing passt auch so gut zu Deinem Hintergrundstempel!
I have seen these trees all over Pinterest but yours looks great. One, you have used doublesided foil and then you have embossed it. Love your card.

Fabulous idea to use double-sided paper for the tree. I like how the swirls on the BG are replicated on your tree. Enjoy the holidays!

Eine sehr schöne Weihnachtskarte! Nette Idee, das gefaltete Bäumchen und das Motiv für den HG und die Bordüre gefallen mir auch sehr gut.
