Merry Christmas! Here's the perfect card to make and send your loved ones for Christmas. After all, who doesn't love a handmade card? Not to mention making your own cards is a great inexpensive alternative when reaching out to all your relatives this holiday season.

DIY Christmas Tree Card

Materials

• Color Cardstock (preferably green)

• X-Acto Knife

• Cutting Mat - I personally use a Vantage Self-Healing cutting mat.

• Card Template

Step One - Printing

Print out the template that is provided below directly on your colored cardstock.

Step Two - Cutting

Fold the card in half along the marked middle of the card. Unfold the card and cut out the template design with your X-acto knife on a cutting mat. Fold card in half again, and ta-da! You're basically done! Pretty simple, right?

Step Three - Decorating

This is the more personal part, adding a festive message to the recipient. Make sure to write your message on the top and bottom so that it cannot be seen through the cut out when the card is closed.

Casey also has a number of free card templates, feel free to visit the Create section of her blog.
