Printed Christmas Tree Card
For the card front: Turn the card with the fold on the left. Cut 4 7/8"x6 3/8" Trail Blazer green stripes paper. Cut 4 7/8"x2 7/8" Trail blazer green scratches paper and mat the long edges on cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue across the center of the stripes paper, then glue both centered on the card front.
Open the card and place the border die shown along the right front edge, centering it carefully. Use removable tape to secure the die, then follow the die cutter manufacturer’s directions to cut the edge of the card.
Cut 4½"x6" watercolor paper. Open the embossing folder and tap the Peeled Paint ink pad over the raised tree to cover it. Tap Faded Jeans on the tree center, on the star, and the trunk. Use a paper towel to wipe off any excess ink along the edges of the tree, then spritz it lightly with water. Place the watercolor paper on the tree, close the folder, and press in place. Open the folder, lift out the paper, and let dry.
Trim the tree paper to 4"x5¾" and mat on cardstock with 1/8" wide borders. Wrap a 5" ribbon across it, ¼" from the bottom, and glue the ends to the back. Stamp “noel” in the upper right corner with Chamomile. Foam tape the panel to the card front so it extends ¼" off the left edge.
Make a 4-loop bow with ribbon and tie the center with thread. Glue to the first ribbon, 1 1/8" from the left edge, then glue a large rhinestone in the bow center. Place rhinestones on the tree as shown.
For the inside: Cut 4¾"x6¼" Trail Blazer green stripes paper and 1¼"x6¼" Trail Blazer canvas paper. Mat the left long edge of the canvas paper on cardstock with a 1/16" wide border, then glue it to the stripes paper, aligning the right edges. Glue centered on the inside.
