Today I’m going to show you how to make a very special greeting card for the Christmas Holiday. In particular I’m going to show you how to make a Pop-up Christmas card. Anyone receiving this Christmas card will love it… not only because it came from you, but also because of the 3-D effect of the card. In this post I will show you how to make a Pop-up Christmas tree that actually sticks out of the card when opened. Add a special note to your card and it is ready to send out for Christmas to a friend or family member.

Step 2
At 2/3 of height, cut in waves until you reach the crease…
… it will look like this.
Make another 2 – 3 waved cuts…

Step 3
Press the lower part (under the first cut) behind…
… like this. It will look like the tree stem.
Step 4
Fold the green paper in half.
Apply a layer of glue on the cardboard until you reach the creases…
… and place it over the green paper, like this.
Do the same on the other part.
Step 5

and write “Seasons Greetings” beside the tree.
Add some glitter glue globes on the tree and your greeting card is ready .
And, there you have it. You just made a beautiful and festive Pop-up Greeting card for Christmas. The receiver will love it!!
