Or Follow These Step by Step Instructions
If you are making the card bases yourself as we are, I recommend cutting a sheet of A4 or letter sized paper in half.
Fold and score the “half paper” to get one small card.
Place your card base on top of blue paper and trace around it.
Cut out the blue rectangle.
Trim it a little, to make it a bit smaller than the card base.
Glue the blue rectangle on the card base.
Draw and cut a snowy hill shape out of white paper.
Glue it on the bottom of the card.
Cut a small brown rectangle for the trunk and glue it on top of the hill.
Punch circles our of green paper. We made 6.
Fold the circles in half.
Glue two halves together – slip one into another, making a L shape.
Apply glue on one side…
And glue on the card. Start at the top of the card.
When you glue the second pair of folded circles, slip them into the first one a little.
Decorate with glitter glue to make snowflakes.
And add gemstones for a more festive version.
