Instructions:
1. Use the pinking shears or other decorative edged scissors and cut the gold cardstock out slightly smaller than the card itself. Glue this piece on the front of the card.
2. Out of the gold corrugated cardboard and also the shiny gold cardboard cut two identical trees. You may design your own tree or use the pattern below to help you create trees.
3. Tear the fiber paper roughly out. The edges do not need to be straight. This makes the piece more interesting. Use the stick glue and glue it onto the gold cardstock piece.
4. Glue both trees onto the card. Use the picture as placement guide.
5. Glue the Christmas message sticker onto a piece of vellum and cut this piece evenly out.
6. Using the gold star stickers you can stick the vellum onto the card. Add more stickers to random points on the card.

Greeting Cards and Birthday Cards
There are so many occasions in the year when you need greeting cards. Whether it be a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday like Christmas or even for the birth of a baby, the reasons are many. Before you go out and buy another card, consider crafting your own personal cards. Creating hand made greeting cards can be so rewarding. Think of your cards as miniature works of art that you are giving to someone. Not only are you giving that special someone a moment of your time by creating that special card for him or her, but a hand made card will often be kept and cherished as a reminder of you.

Artist Trading Cards
Artist Trading Cards or otherwise known as ATC’s are created in the size of 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches or 64 x 89 millimeters (6.4 x 8.9 centimeters). These are small and self-made miniature works of art. Other than the size, there are no particular rules to follow. Combine different materials and elements to create unique and one of a kind cards. Sign, number and date the backs of your cards. These cards are not meant to be sold but if you like, there are groups that trade and collect these cards. You can find them on the internet in different craft forums.
