Simply download and print. Then follow the steps below to embellish!

Supplies used:

  • white cardstock
  • printed card graphics (download below)
  • ScorePal (optional)
  • Scotch Adhesive Dot Roller
  • solid coordinating cardstock (not shown below)
  • RoseArt Glitter Glue
  • Zebra Sarasa Metallic Pens
  • paper cutter or scissors (not shown below)

I printed the card on 8-1/2″ x 11″ Presentation paper (or matte Brochure paper). After printing, just cut the paper in half both ways, so that the cards are each 4.25″ x 5.5″.

Step 2: (Optional) One of the cards comes blank (without a greeting on it) so you can write whatever you would like as shown below. I used a gold metallic Zebra pen by Sarasa. It wrote beautifully! I loved the easy grip on these pens and how smoothly they wrote. Click HERE to find out how you can win your own set of these beautiful metallic pens!


Step 3: Embellish with glitter glue. I used red and gold glitter glue by RoseArt. Just squeeze a little dot where desired. For the star on top, I placed a drop of gold glitter glue. Then I used a pin to drag out the glitter to match up with the star at the top of the tree (as shown below).

Step 4: I used gold metallic pearl cardstock. You can use any solid cardstock that coordinates with your card. Cut the 8-1/2″x11″ paper in half and then in half again so you end up with four pieces that measure 4.25″ x 5.5″.

Step 5: In order to properly layer the card pieces as shown below, trim off 1/8 inch off each side of the gold paper. On the printed card, trim 1/4 inch off each side.

Step 6: Adhere the printed card to the gold paper. You can use as is for a gift tag! Otherwise, adhere to a folded half sheet of white cardstock. (I cut a sheet of white cardstock in half. Then I used my ScorePal to score the center so that it would fold nicely.)

Gift Idea: Make several and give as a set! Beautiful!
