What would you make with a twig from outside and craft supplies? Designer Robin took a twig and turned it into a tree for a winter wonderland card for the holidays.

Who doesn't love getting handmade cards? They're so charming and fun and this one is perfect because it is SOOO simple and quick to make too!

You won't need much to make this cute little winter card, just a few things...

Here's what you need:

  • Permanent Glue Dots®
  • Stitch Glue Square Glue Dots®
  • Light blue cardstock
  • Scrap piece of white cardstock
  • Mini pearls
  • Canadian Craft Pine Stems (similar to pipe cleaners)
  • Twig
  • Paper cutter
  • Wire cutters
  • Optional: Embosser to add pattern and dimensions to background

Here's what you do:

  1. Cut and fold your light blue paper to the size card you want.
  2. Optional: Emboss your paper to create more background design and dimension.
  3. Tear your white paper to lay across the bottom of the card to be your "snow".
  4. Use your Permanent and Stitch Square Glue Dots to adhere the white paper and the twig to the blue paper.
  5. Take your wire cutters and cut your Craft Pine stems different sizes to create your tree branches. Adhere with Permanent Glue Dots® to either side of the twig (your tree trunk).
  6. Add pearls around randomly around the paper for additional texture and a snowy look.

These are super fun and easy cards to make this holiday season AND ones that you can whip out really fast! Hope you enjoy!
