Naughty or Nice? Tree shaped card template a la Martha

photo from Martha Stewart here

...He's making a list, checkin' it twice,
gonna find out who's naughty or nice...

Not even Halloween yet & I'm already pestering you with Christmas templates. Well it is the 25th today (exactly 4 months until Christmas-Can you believe it?)

This template told me it wanted to be altered and be adaptable, so I just had to share it. I can't take credit for the idea at all. It's from Martha et al and it's the sweetest tree shaped photo card. It's a fantabulous template as is, but the original has clip art (and we wanna stamp, right?) ;o)

Anywho, I had to be naughty and alter it: once to remove the clip art and lines for direct printing & another time to add tabs so it could be made into a standing 3D tree. But Santa, I do promise to make up for being bad by borrowing this template (by using my Martha punches and glitter later--when I actually make something with the template.) ;o) For now, I'm putting off some projects until my eyeglass prescription is ready...

You can print the second & third templates (below) right on cardstock.
To make it that way, just.....

1. ...print the template & cut it out.
2. ...stamp & alter it however you like
   
3. ...use the little lines at the ends as a guide for scoring
4. ...fold it to be a tree card or standing 3D tree
   

The original and the altered templates are all converted to JPGs so that you can change them with your photo software if you like [resize it or darken or lighten or erase lines or fill with digital patterns in photoshop (or in gimp which is free)....]
