Christmas Tree Card Instructions
On blank card stock, take green sparkle paint and draw an outline of a tree. You may free form branches, make the standard graduated enclosed tree or scribble back and forth from left to right. Paste snowflake confetti to the tree branches and add colored lights using tiny beads. Finish your project by adding "Merry Christmas" or "Season's Greetings" to the top or the bottom of the card, using a smaller writing tip for the sparkle paint.Using Polymer Clay
Polymer clay (Fimo) makes a fun and sturdy Christmas card. Roll the Fimo dough with a rolling pin until it is thin. Cut a design such as a Santa or a tree with a straight edge knife. Create a frame out of a contrasting color. Bake your design and when it has cooled, apply it to card stock with an all purpose adhesive. Add a "Seasons Greetings" sticker below your design.
