25 cards of Christmas - Day 1 - Washi tape tree

I've decided to try a series of posts and what better than to start with Christmas cards? I really started card making last January because I wanted to make a stock of cards for this Christmas

So on to the cards...

A very simple and child-friendly one to start. I saw this design on The Frugal Crafter's YouTube channel and decided to give it a go.

Start with a red card base, tear white paper to fit on the base and stick down. Cut a strip of brown paper to make the tree trunk and stick down.

Use Christmassy washi tape to add the branches and top with a star punched out of glittery paper.

It takes about 5 minutes to put together and it's great to do with kids - I've done it with my Brownies and they all enjoyed it (and there wasn't too much mess to tidy up afterwards!).
