We are excited to share our life with you and invite you to do the same! Life is precious and each day is a gift! We all know how quickly it passes us by. We may not have it all together, but together we have it all!
Seriously... I mean Score... I not only found more ideas for the Hershey's Kisses treats... but also the tutorial on how to make.the Christmas Tree Houses.... also from Qbee..... and Splitcoaststampers.... but Score again cuz these not only uses Hershey Kisses.. but Nuggets too!!... woo hoo.. chocolate heaven!
The Hershey's Christmas trees stand approximately 4" tall by 3-1/4" wide.
Each tree uses nine Hershey's Kisses and two Hershey's Nuggets.
She created BOTH a video tutorial and a step-by-step tutorial below... pretty lengthy but anything worth chocolate, right?????? She also listed some "Time Saver Tips" at the end.....
Scored Hershey's Christmas Tree Tutorial
Step One
1. Tree Frame: Begin with a 10-1/8” x 2” piece of Garden Green Card Stock. On
the long side, score at 3-¼”, 6-½” and 9-¾”.
Step Two
2. On the short side score at 1”.
Step Three
3. Squeeze some multipurpose liquid glue lengthwise along the strip.
Step Four
4. Fold the strip in half lengthwise and use your bone folder to burnish the
strip.
Step Five
5. Fold the strip along the score lines. Squeeze some multipurpose liquid
glue onto the tab end.
Step Six
6. Bring the ends of the piece together to form a triangle. Make sure you
hold the tab down for a few seconds so that the glue can seal the card stock
fibers together. Set aside.
Step Seven
7. Tree Insert Pieces: Begin with a 11” x 2” piece of Garden Green Card
Stock. On the long side score at all the inch marks (ie. 1”, 2”, 3” etc.)
Step Eight
8. Cut this piece in half lengthwise at the 1” mark.
Step Nine
9. Then take one of the strips and cut it at the 4” mark.
Step Ten
10. You should now have 3 one-inch strips 4”, 7” and 11” long.
Step Eleven
11. Take the longest strip and fold it into a strip of triangles.
Step Twelve
12. Fit the folded triangle strip into the bottom of the tree frame.
Step Thirteen
13. Next, take the medium length strip and fold it into triangles.
Step Fourteen
14. Fit the folded triangle strip into the row above the first strip in the
tree frame.
Step Fifteen
15. Now fold the smallest strip into a triangle.
Step Sixteen
16. Fit the triangle into the top spot of the tree frame.
Step Seventeen
17. Pop 9 Hershey’s Kisses into the triangular spaces.
Step Eighteen
18. Tie with an 18” length of grosgrain.
Step Nineteen
19. Tree Trunk: Start with a piece of Chocolate Chip Card Stock 5-3/4” x 2”,
On the long side score at 1”, 2-3/8”, 3-3/8” and 4-3/4”.
Step Twenty
20. On the short side, score at 1”.
Step Twenty-one
21. Squeeze some multipurpose liquid glue lengthwise along the strip.
Step Twenty-two
22. Fold the strip in half lengthwise and use your bone folder to burnish the
strip.
Step Twenty-three
23. Squeeze some multipurpose glue onto one of the ends of the strip.
Step Twenty-four
24. Now fold on the other score marks and adhere to form a rectangle. Place
two strips of sticky strip on the edges of the rectangle.
Step Twenty-five
25. Remove the sticky strip liner and adhere the tree to the trunk. Pop 2
Hershey’s nuggets into the trunk piece.
Step Twenty-six
26. Finish off the tree as desired. I suggest packaging the trees in one of
Stampin' Up's clear envelopes (see above photo). This will ensure that the
kisses stay in place for gift-giving.
Timesaver Tips
