Swirly Christmas Tree Suspension Card
Hiyah!
It’s been longer than normal since I posted as my parents have been visiting and when we get together we tend to shop ’til we drop! They have received their Christmas card from us now so I can share it with you now too :)
I cut my Swirly Trees from some glitter card then folded them in half and glued them together back to back, before I glued the first tree to the last tree I slid some thread through to the middle of the tree leaving some of the thread hanging out of the top and the bottom, I then glued the trees closed. The thread needs to be sandwiched between the card base and the front layer with some red liner style strong tape, ensuring that it is nice and taut. Before I assembled my card I added some ribbon, jingle bells and a sentiment to my patterned paper card front, it is important to do this first if you like to hide your ribbon ends.
This is how it looks with the card fully open:
The 3D Tree can be folded flat to place your card into an envelope although it will need some coaxing back into shape by the recipient:

It’s gorgeous! TFS!
This is so pretty. Thank you BIrd.
Magnifique!! comme tous vos fichiers, merci pour le partage!!
Thank you so much! Your card is beautiful! I usually cut a piece of card and place over something so delicate to put in the envelope – slides in and out much easier. It usually doesn’t cost any more to mail either. Hugs!!
Thank you, your card is beautiful.
Thanks Bird. Here’s hoping you have a wonderful Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year

Beautiful card! I have used your swirly tree a few times this year in my Christmas projects. Have a Merry Christmas! Thank you.
This is beautiful! How many trees did you cut for one card?
I used 8 tree cut outs, I’ve placed all 8 out inside the cut file :)
Thank you so much for this and your continued generosity. :-D
I made a card using this File which is here if you would like to see it.
