Use your scissors to cut out the six Christmas trees, tree trunks and stars.
Carefully fold all of the Christmas tree pieces, tree trunk pieces and star pieces in half.
Use your extra strength glue stick to add glue to one side of one of your Christmas tree pieces. Then line up another Christmas tree on top of the glue. Continue gluing all the Christmas tree pieces together one on top of the other.
Repeat step 4 using the tree trunk pieces and star pieces.
Cut a piece of blue cardstock in an 8 1/2-inch by 8 1/2-inch square. Fold it in half and then open it back up. Add glue to the back of the 3D Christmas tree, tree trunk and star and glue them along the inside folded seam of the open card.
NOW IT’S TIME TO ADD DETAILS TO YOUR 3D CHRISTMAS CARD!
A simple way to add ornaments to your Christmas tree is by using Avery round stickers. They have a plethora of different colors to choose from so you can use primary colors or neon colors. Add the stickers to each different section of the 3D Christmas tree.
Cut a strip of white paper or cardstock to place at the bottom of your 3D Christmas card. Fold the white paper in half and then glue it at the bottom of your Christmas tree.
You can use a variety of different materials to decorate the inside of your card. We went with snowflakes to give our 3D Christmas cards a wintery feel. For snowflakes you can glue on snowflake sequins, use snowflake stickers, or you can use a chalk marker to draw snowflakes around the inside of your card.
To finish your 3D Christmas card, use markers or pens to write “Merry Christmas” or any holiday message on the front of your card. Then fold your card in half and place it in a large envelope for the recipient.
When the card is opened the recipient will be delighted by the 3D effect of the Christmas tree inside. The best part, they can put the card on display somewhere in their home to add to their festive decor.
