Narrow Woodgrain Planks and a pine print from the Yuletide Cheer 6×6 create a contemporary Christmas tree – like a DIY recycled pallet tree from a holiday magazine. Add a bright red Sunlight Sparrow and a Merry Christmas Swirl greeting. Hi, Jean here with a just-in-time design.
Cut the Yuletide Cheer pine print with the Narrow Woodgrain Planks die. Tape the backside of the longest plank so the finely-textured woodgrain pattern stays intact Cut a 5/8″ piece for the top of the tree.
Daub Pinecone VersaFine Clair ink on a strip of Kraft Woodgrain Paper. Cut a strip about 1/4″ x 4-1/2″. It’s longer than necessary – it’ll be trimmed after the tree is assembled.
Attach adhesive label paper (or a sticker sheet) to bright red wool-blend felt to stabilize the felt and prevent adhesives from saturating it. Cut the bird base and head layer. Cut the beak section from a scrap of black cardstock. Cut the wing from the red Rainbow Reflections 6×6.
Cut the solid Merry Christmas Swirl background from white cardstock and a dark yellowish/green 6×6 in the Greenery Collection. Cut the white layer with the set’s detailed die. Assemble the greeting. 
Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-1/2″ x 6-1/4″). Add red Christmas Fairy Dewdrops. Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
