Description: Our folded Christmas tree card has everything you want from a seasonal craft. It’s simple, it’s special and it’s as festive as can be. With the help of The Crafts Channel's Corinne Bradd, you will be papercutting and folding your way to the perfect 3D Christmas card in no time. What makes this folded Christmas tree card especially great is that, as usual, Corinne has made it using the most basic of crafting materials. No need to go out and spend a fortune on stamp and die sets today, our folded Christmas tree card is simply constructed from your choice of coloured or patterned paper and card. You do need a template however, but fortunately we have provided that free of charge over on the PaperCrafter website. Throughout this handmade Christmas card tutorial, Corinne shows you how to transform that simple template into a festive craft that is sure to stand out on any mantelpiece. Your stylised Christmas tree card design is created by straightforwardly cutting and folding slanted strips of coloured paper, before mounting onto a blank card. Corinne’s festive craft tutorial offers top tips on how to cut accurately and fold neatly, allowing you to create a modern, symmetrical motif. This technique is made all the more fabulous because it can be utilised for quickly making multiple cards during this busy crafting season. Plus, it allows your folded Christmas tree card to be easily personalised, using your own choice of colours for both the folded paper tree and blank card. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, try some patterned papers for the 3D tree design. Despite the exciting 3D element of this folded Christmas tree card, it’s still easy to post and will fit flat inside a standard Christmas card envelope. Once you’ve mastered this easy technique, why not try creating your own designs that when folded from double-sided paper create a fabulous plaited effect and share them with us on social media?
