Remember the tutorial for the Button Wreath Christmas Cards I shared the other day? {I hope you saw that post because there was a great Cricut giveaway with it too!} Well – today is another EASY way for you to pull together some holiday cards for the Christmas season.

If you are like me, you enjoy making and sending handmade cards for Christmas to friends & family. But let’s face it – with everything going on during this festive time of year, I honestly don’t have the time to make elaborate or expensive looking cards. So that is when today’s post comes in handy, as I share with you how I recently made these Washi Tape Christmas Cards within MINUTES!

So with that being said, not only are these DIY cards really easy to assemble {even for a beginner crafter} but they are inexpensive and have that handmade touch, that makes them so impressive!

Supplies:

* Cardstock/Premade Cards
* Various Green Washi Tape/Brown Washi Tape
* Decorative Small Red Bows
* Ink/Various Christmas Stamps
* Scissors
* Glue Stick

Directions:

* If you don’t have premade cards – be sure to make your cards first. Then for a more decorative look, take another colored piece of cardstock and trim it down a bit, to fit on the front of the card. Glue it down.
* Now it’s time to assemble your trees. First start by tearing a piece of washi tape for the trunk of the tree. Place it near the bottom of the card {but be sure to leave room for your stamped sentiment!}
* Next grab your green washi tape and start tearing some pieces and laying them down to look like a Christmas tree. {Your pieces will get smaller as the tree goes up. Think of it as a triangle}
* Once your tree is done, glue your decorative red bow on top of it.
* To finish off your card, stamp on your Christmas sentiment near the bottom of the tree. Then add your personalized message inside and mail!

Easy, right? And of course – you can add this design to other things like gift tags, wrapping paper or even on a piece of cardstock to frame as Christmas decor. The possibilities are endless – especially when it comes to washi tape! #gluedtomycrafts
