2. Die cut a large tree frame from red patterned paper. Cut white card to fit behind the frame, then adhere. Use a scoring board to mark 1.5cm from the top edge, then fold back. Die cut a yellow star, then place over the top of both frames and punch a hole. Attach the three pieces together with a yellow brad.
