Hi, everyone! Can you believe Christmas is just a few months away? Teri here to help you get a start on your holiday cardmaking by showing you how to make some super easy, super cute Christmas Tree Shaped Cards!
These Christmas trees are sure to make all your holiday card recipients smile!
Make the Tree Shaped Card Base
Start by creating a triangle pattern from cardstock. Set the pattern on two pieces of cardstock. Trace the pattern and cut two triangles at one time.
Designer’s Tip: If you have a die-cutting machine and triangle dies, skip the pattern and use your dies to cut two triangles out.
Adhere your triangles together to make a tree card. Be sure to fold the bottom panel where you’ve not put adhesive on it so you can open your card up and write a message inside.
Blend green dye ink onto your card front and splatter a few small drops of water onto your cards. Use a paper towel to remove any excess water. Let the water and ink dry.
Design the Tree Shaped Cards
Place 3D Foam Strips across your card. Trim the excess. Next, mount a small 3D Foam Star at the top. If any portion of the backside portion of your star is not on the card, apply a little foam on it as well. This will keep that back portion from sticking to anything.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Elements
Burnish a piece of bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature onto the 3D Foam pieces. Remember to face the color side to you to rub the color into the pieces. Missed areas can be reapplied with the foil.
Finishing Touches of the Tree Shaped Cards
Decorate your tree cards by randomly affixing buttons onto them with the Adhesive Dots Medium Ultra Thin. Want your card to have a more whimsical look? Add some twine to one…or several of them!
I hope you are inspired by today’s Christmas Tree Shaped Cards tutorial. So get started on making your holiday cards. Thanks so much for stopping by today.
