How To Make A Mono Print Christmas Tree Card
Ready to get started? Follow these easy steps to create your own masterpiece:
Prepare Your Supplies
Start by setting up a craft-friendly workspace.
- Lay down newspaper or a craft mat to catch any paint spills.
- Use a take away lid or paper plate to put the white paint on.
- Cut your red card stock to size and fold in half
Print The Christmas Tree
- Dip the doughnut-shaped end of your medicine syringe dispenser into white paint. Make sure the whole surface has a thin layer of paint covering it. Also check that a bubble hasn’t formed in the middle of the doughnut. Blow gently to pop it if it has.
- Starting toward the bottom of your card, stamp a row of five white rings for the tree’s base. Begin in the center of the row and work outward.
- Add additional rows, decreasing the number of rings per row (four rings, three rings, and so on) to create a tree shape.
Bonus Tip for Older Kids: Talk about triangle numbers as you layer the rings—this craft sneaks in a bit of math while keeping it fun!
Add The Tree Pot
Use the rim of the syringe dispenser to roll small lines under the tree, creating a rectangle-shaped “pot” for the Christmas tree to sit in.
Add the Sparkle: Finishing Touches
It’s time to decorate! Here’s how to make your card truly magical:
- Top It Off: Use a glue stick to attach a shiny gold star to the top of the tree. Yu can glue a star sequin or use a star sticker
- Sprinkle Some Glitter: While the paint is still wet, sprinkle fine glitter over the tree and pot.
- Gold glitter makes the pot shine.
- White or clear glitter adds a frosty touch to the rings.
Let everything dry completely before moving or displaying your card.
Finally use a glue stick to attach a shiny gold star to the top … all done!
If you want to add some sparkle sprinkle glitter on the paint before it dries. I used fine gold glitter on the striped tree pot and very fine white sugar glitter over some of the rings. Don’t use loads as it’s nice to see the white paint show through as well. The fine white sugar glitter looks gorgeous (hard to show in the photo) but definitely adds a touch of Christmas magic!

That is definitely super easy and still pretty, could sprinkle glitter over the paint before it dries too x
I did, just forgot to write it in the post! The base of one of them has gold glitter and also white glitter on the rings to make it sparkle like fairy dust 🙂
They look better than a lot of shop bought cards. Great job. Jo x
