Minimal Christmas tree
Christmas is empty without a Christmas tree, therefore to make a minimal Christmas tree card, just cut a rectangle and fold it in half to make a card, and then cut a tree from a green sheet and a star from a yellow sheet. Now, glue it to the centre of the front of the card and then cut letters or you can draw and write accordingly. Lastly, stick small buttons or ornaments for the tree to make it look more appealing.
Minimal bird
Some people prefer keeping their card more minimal, therefore for them simply make a sweet small bird hanging out on a branch. Paint a branch on a plain card with brown craft paint and then tear a bird shape from a red paper or tissue and stick it above the branch. Now, leave it for one day, let it dry, and use a fine and more pointed black marker and just draw a wing, an eye, and a small beak.
