Oh Christmas Tree….With Video Tutorial!

I create, I write, I blog and I post.....that's my process, and it usually ends right there. A strange occurance is taking place as of late....people desire my templates and instructions for making some of my cards...crazy wonderful right!? I set out to make a written tutorial of the stitched Christmas tree and quickly realized that it would take entirely too many pictures to demonstrate this one which meant I had to go to video!
