Merry Christmas Tree Card
For the card front: Turn the card with the fold on the left and cut it to 4”x6”. Cut a 4”x6” piece of the green paisley paper. Cut a 4”x2” ivory/green plaid piece and glue it to the lower area of the paisley paper. Cut a 5/8”x4” red stripe from the stripes paper. Mat it on green, then glue it between the paisley and plaid pieces. (Don’t glue this to the card front yet, though.)
Stamp the Christmas tree onto the acetate and let it dry. Flip the tree over and use the yellow marker to color in the star and the three ornaments. Ink the edges of the acetate black. Position the acetate on the paisley and plaid piece as shown and secure it in place with three red brads, leaving the upper right corner free.
Stamp “joy” and “wonder” on a piece of the red stripe and cut them out. Ink the edges. Punch two ½”x1” green tags, then glue a word to each. Attach the two tags to the upper right corner of the tree using the last red brad.
Cut out the “spirit of the season” art and mat it on green. Attach it to the plaid area with green brads as shown. Glue the constructed front piece to the blank card front.
For the inside: Print “Wishing you & your family Holiday Cheer!” in green on ivory paper. Mat it on green, then again on the plaid. Glue it to the inside back. Cut out the star and the tree patches and glue them as shown.
