Christmas Tree Ginger Cookie Easel Card

Send a card and make a decorative statement with this 

this gingerbread Christmas tree measuring approx. 8.75” tall x 6.75”. 

Icing shapes attach to the curvy-edge offset overlay that includes punch circles that allow contrast card front to show thru as part of decoration. 

Back panel includes a “hinge” perforation approx. 2.25” down 

from tip where it attaches back to back with front main panel 

to create an easel stand. 

Tree design is sized to fit and decorate the end caps of 

“Tree 3D Chest Christmas Countdown” (separate design); 

offset front panel for countdown includes 

required assembly slots for that project.

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A card front base   B card back base with perforation line

C decorative front overlay

D "icing" accent shapes

2. Prepare the back base by bending forward

along the cross perforation line near top.

3. Position the front card base back-to-back with

the back base above the perforation, matching edges

as precisely as possible, then glue together.

4. Refer to the completed card thumbnail, then

position and attach the icing accent overlays onto

accent front, using the punch hole "dots" to assist

with arrangement, also aligning the center shapes

along the imagined centerline. One good strategy

is to begin at the center bottom, then working upward.

Refer to the narrow distances between circle punches

and edges of overlays as the positioning progresses.

5. Position the completed front decorative overlay

onto the card front and adjust to have narrow offset

margin along edges, then attach in place.

Use a heavy flat weight large enough to cover

the card, then press the assembled card flat

until the glue is completely dry, a few hours

or over night.

6. With card assembly completed, add other decorations

to front, if desired, and a sentiment plaque or label

inside.
