Today I have a Snowflake Christmas Tree Handmade Card Idea to share. I know that photo Holiday Cards are a fan favorite and personally mine as well but sometimes you also need a holiday card to attach to a gift for someone who you may not know on very personal basis…like your kid’s Karate Instructor or Swim Teacher or Bus Driver. This card is so easy to make and you can also make it larger scale as a piece of wall art!
Supplies Needed:
- Snowflake Punch
- Green Scrapbook Paper
- Red Scrapbook Paper
- Yellow Scrapbook Paper
- Brown Scrapbook Paper
- Glue
- Card Blanks or Cardstock to make some cards
Your scrapbook paper can be patterned or solid! Your choice! Mix it up! Use what you have! Get creative! :)
First things first…get punching! Start with Green…you need the most of those. A few red and 1 yellow (or gold) and 1 brown.
Next arrange the green snowflakes in the shape of a Christmas Tree. Add a few red ones in there for ornaments. Top with a Yellow snowflake star! You can add a brown trunk if you wish!.
This is a fun project to have the kids help with too! Older ones can punch and then everyone can have fun gluing the snowflakes on! You can add this to an envelope or give it a hole punch in the corner and tie it onto a gift!
I had two sizes of snowflake punches so I played around. Here you can see a card with the same size snowflakes and then one with smaller “ornament” snowflakes.

Those punchouts are amazing. Love the creative application you have used them to create a tree. Very cool. I tend to gush about all things paper and lost art of letter writing over at http://www.ritewhileucan.com Visiting via ‘GingerSnapCrafts’ link up
