You can make really effective Christmas cards using peel off picture stickers. You can enhance the effect of the peel off stickers that you use in your projects by adding some colour to the the peel off picture. Also if you stick the sticker onto separate card, cut it out and then mount it onto your card you get a nice raised 3D effect making the finished card more interesting than if you stick the sticker straight onto the card surface.

What you will need to make this card:

1. Small square (120mm x 120mm) pale cream card blank
2. Christmas Trees Peel Off Sheet – Gold
3. Some separate plain cream or white card
4. Coloured felt tip pens
5. Craft knife, decoupage scissors & ruler
6. Sticky foam tape/pads

How to make:

Remove a Christmas tree picture sticker from the peel off backing sheet, let the sticker relax for a minute on the end of your craft knife, this will allow it to regain shape if it has stretched and then stick it to the plain cream (or white) card (not the card blank).

Use felt tips pens to colour in the peel off centre sections in appropriate colours. Colours used here are green tree, dark brown tree trunk, yellow star, red/blue tree decorations, orange/purple/blue gift wrapped presents under the tree.

Next take the decoupage scissors and carefully cut round the outside edge of the coloured in Christmas tree peel off image taking particular care around the candles. Then use sticky foam tape/pads to attach the tree to the centre of the card blank.

Then for the four corners of the card remove four of the double holly leaves picture stickers from the peel off backing sheet, again allow each sticker to relax for a minute on the end of your craft knife to regain shape and then stick each one to the plain cream (or white) card (not the card blank).

Use felt tips pens to colour in the holly leaf centre sections in green and the holly berries in red. Use the decoupage scissors again to carefully cut out each set of holly leaves. Then use a small amount of sticky foam tape/pads to attach each of the holly pictures to the four corners of the card blank using a ruler to line them up with each other.

We have not used a sentiment on this card but you could easily add a peel off wording sticker to the bottom centre of the card if you wished, you would just need to place the tree picture a little bit higher to allow for this.
