Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: one card

Supplies:

8.2 x 6 inch light green shimmer cardstock
5.6 x 3.7 inch red cardstock
A5 sized white textured cardstock
one silver star
0.5 in wide self-adhesive silver fabric tape
nine 8mm clear self-adhesive flat-sided flower rhinestones
pencil
ruler
standard scissors
quick-drying craft glue (such as Bostik Clear)

Steps:

Score the light green cardstock to create a card sized 6" x 4.1". With the fold at the left, centre and glue the red cardstock to the front of the card.

Use the ruler to measure strips with a width of 1.2" on the white cardstock.
Cut seven strips with the following lengths: 3.3"; 3.0"; 2.5"; 2.2"; 1.7"; 1.4" and 1.1".
Cut small incisions, two thirds into each strip, to simulate the pine-tree leaves.

Cut the top part of the 1.1" piece into a triangular shape.

Starting with the biggest strip, glue the seven strips to the front of the card to simulate a pine-tree. Glue the second strip directly above the first one, then the third, then the fourth, etc., until the "tree" has been completed.
