CHRISTMAS TREE

animate.js

Using a piece of A5 card stock, lightly draw an arc from one corner to the edge of the card using as much as possible so that quarter of a circle is marked.

Divide the edge of the arc quarter into 3 sections and gently score to the centre point with a craft knife and cut off excess.

One edge will need 1 mm trimmed off so that it can fold inside the other.

Fold into itself so that you have a long thin tree shape.

Using the centre section only, print or stamp your design using silver or gold pigment ink.

 

In these cases I have added iridescent glitter glue to add sparkle but you can also use embossing powders.

Finally, add a little star to the top.

The card stands when open a bit like a pyramid so it is three dimensional.

Simple, quick and very effective.

Once you have your original marked out and cut you can use it as a template to make more without having to measure.
