Holiday Tree Card

Does your holiday card list grow longer each year too? Maybe adding a few new names to our list is something for which we should be grateful. New friends! New business acquaintances! New opportunities to tell someone how much we appreciate knowing them! What better way than with a personalized card made just for them? Purchased cards can be embellished easily with beads, tape, and thread.

If your card list is long, those boxed cards with your signature at the bottom may well be tempting to you. But here's an idea! Bring the kids in on the fun. Kids love playing with color (especially shiny, metallic thread colors!), and they’ll enjoy becoming a part of your family holiday card tradition. Enlist the kids’ help. Bribe them with popcorn and hot chocolate and they'll be your little helpers for as long as you like.

Materials needed:

purchased Christmas card with a Christmas tree motif
4” x 6” sheet of Treasure Tape™
Diamond Beadlets® (clear micro beads)
Mrs. K’s Dimensional Threads from Kreinik in Tapestry #12 Braid 002V and 150V (or colors to match your card)
Tray or pan for catching the beads
Piece of wax paper, masking tape and a pen

Instructions:

Lay the wax paper over the tree on your card and outline the tree shape. This will create a template.
Affix this wax template to the surface (red side) of the Treasure Tape™ using a piece of regular masking tape. Cut the tree shape out of the tape, following the lines of your wax paper template.
Now you have a piece of Treasure Tape cut to fit the tree area only. Remove the white backing paper from the tape and lay it directly on the tree on the card. Remove the red liner to expose the sticky part, and now you’re ready to embellish.
Either following the print on your card, or creating your own design, lay the Dimensional Threads onto the tape, pressing to adhere firmly. Continue decorating as desired with the thread.
When finished, lay the card in your tray and pour on the Diamond Beadlets. Swirl the beads with your fingers over the tape so that all remaining adhesive areas are covered.
Tap the card lightly to dislodge any loose beads.

Tip: cards with straight lines and borders are easiest to embellish, since you can use rolls of tape without having to follow a template.

AUGUST 2021 NEWS

High demand for product combined with supply, production, and staffing ramifications of the pandemic means that it is taking longer than normal to get your Kreinik orders. IN MOST CASES, IT IS TAKING UP TO 10 WEEKS TO FILL ORDERS We make our threads, and also rely on outside sources for things like packaging and raw materials. Every step of the manufacturing process has been affected by the pandemic, even shipping has seen incredible delays. We apologize for the frustration and inconvenience, and are doing everything we can to improve the situation.

To speed up production of the most in-demand colors, we are only making the top 60 to 80 colors in Kreinik #4, #8, and #12 Braid lines. The colors in production can be found on those individual thread pages on our website. This is a temporary situation; we will go back to producing 200+ colors per Braid size when we are able.

We cannot do rush orders at this time.

ABOUT ORDERING ONLINE

Kreinik does not sell direct to the public, so all orders received on this website will have payment collected and fulfillment by independent retailers. Their stock may vary, so it could be that they need to get product from Kreinik to fulfill your order. We apologize for any inconvenience. Both the store and Kreinik will work hard to get the product to you as soon as possible.
