Christmas Cards - Winter Cards - Christmas Card with Starry Tree
|
|
|
|
You can craft this card and have it ready to send off within no time. The plain green tree gets combined with gold decorative elements to give it a touch of elegance. It could also be a fun card for kids to make for their grandparents. Let the kids punch out shapes and use stickers to decorate and they can leave off the beading to make the card easier to embellish.

Instructions:
1. Cut a piece of textured white cardstock out so that is covers about 3/4 width of your card. Adhere this piece on the left side of the card leaving a margin for the vertical sticker on the right hand side.
2. Cut out a long tree shape.
3. Poke about 5 or 6 holes in the tree and add the sequins and beads. This gets done by inserting your needle and thread from unerneath to the top, adding first a sequin and then a bead and then going through the sequin back through the hole. An example of how this step looks can be found here > Elegant Snowflakes Card. Carry the string through the backside to the next hole and repeat. Continue until all holes are used up.
4. Punch out 3 green stars and wrap each star with gold wire.
5. Punch out a gold star for the top of the tree.
6. Place 3-D foam tape to the backside of the tree and adhere it to the card.
7. Use the jewel glue and glue on the green stars.
8. Attach the gold star using 3-D foam tape.
9. Decorate the white textured background with gold peel-off stars.
