Handmade Christmas Card - April 2012

Welcome to our Folded Semi-Circle Christmas Tree Card Swap!! This month it is all about folds. I’m going to kick off our month’s card with a simple way to make a cute Christmas tree card. Here’s what you will need: • Card base or cardstock for a card base ( • 1 piece of colored cardstock for a background (cut to size that will fit on your cards) • Two sided patterned paper cut into 3.5″ or 4″ circles (that are then cut in half) • Coordinating patterned paper or brown paper or ribbon (for trunks) • Ribbon or other embellishments to finish off the card You can find a tutorial here on CRAFTYSTEALS http://blog.craftysteals.com/2011/10/02/sunday-school-circle-christmas-tree-card-tutorial/

Use quality card stock, multiple layers are fine, stamping, embellishments and ribbon are encouraged but not required. You will make 1 card for 1 partner. Please provide an envelope. Be sure to sign the back of your card. Anyone with a completed profile is invited to join our little group of Christmas Card swappers. This is an international swap; you must be willing to mail overseas. By limiting the swap to one partner/card it should keep the postage fee to a minimum.

Thanks for joining us and happy swapping!! CJ & nlgrudis
