Tannenbaum Card
This card has a subtle amount of dimension; instead of adding designs on top of the card, the tree is recessed. To achieve this effect, we used chipboard, scrapbook paper, and cardstock. Keep reading to find out how to make it!
Supplies & Tools:
- Printable template (download here)
- Green cardstock
- Scrapbook paper, any color
- Chipboard
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Rubber cement
- X-Acto
- Cutting mat
Directions:
- Print the template and cut out. Set aside.
- Working over the cutting mat, measure and cut chipboard so that it is 4" x 6".
- Measure and cut a 4" x 6" piece of scrapbook paper.
- Using rubber cement, glue scrapbook paper to chipboard. Let dry completely.
Note: If you try to cut the paper/chipboard before the glue is dry, you may end up tearing the paper. - Place tree template in the center of scrapbook paper/chipboard. Lightly trace the tree, and then cut out using the X-Acto.
- Measure and cut an 8" x 6" piece of green cardstock.
- Fold in half, forming a 4" x 6" card.
