While surfing YouTube to get some inspiration for a team swap, I came across a similar card by Lisa Curcio.
I put my own spin on it by changing up the sizes a bit, adding details to the
backside and using some different stamp sets. The side view shows how the score lines come
together to create an easel/box bottom for this card. When folded flat this is the view of the card. It even fits in a standard medium envelope for
easy mailing!

Assembly
Instructions:
After scoring the Garden
Green card base and cutting the slit, fold and burnish all score lines with
your bone folder.
Next, let’s stamp. On one of the panel pieces of the Whisper
White cardstock, center and stamp the Santa image from the Holly Jolly
Christmas stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. On the other panel piece,
using the Pool Party ink, stamp the snow flake image, from Snowman Season, in
the upper left corner and lower right corners. Then add the “Happy Holidays”
sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas with the Real Red ink. Last, with Memento
Tuxedo Black ink, stamp “Ho Ho Ho” from Perfectly Plaid on a piece of scrap and
punch out using the Classic Label punch. Since we are punching, go ahead and
punch out 3 snowflakes using the snowflake punch from the Every Season punch pack.
I love coloring using
our Stampin’ Blends and this Santa image is a fun one to color. Of course, you
could also use our Stampin’ Write Markers if you don’t have Blends. I used the Soft Suede Combo for the Teddy
Bear, the Crumb Cake combo for Santa’s bag, dark Call Me Clover for the
presents and the light Cherry Cobbler for the candy cane and bows on the
presents. Ivory was used for Santa’s
face and the light Flirty Flamingo was perfect to give Santa his rosy checks
and nose. The dark Daffodil Delight gives Santa’s belt buckle that gold color
and dark Basic Black was used for his belt, boots and mittens. I also used the
black for teddy’s nose. I finished up Santa’s
suit using the Cherry Cobbler combo. The
last thing I did was to give the ball on Santa’s cap some dimension by using
the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint.
Now we can put it all
together and assemble this fun card. (See the pictures below for further
reference).
- Adhere Garden Green and Real Red layers together using tear and tape or liquid glue. The Real Red panel is centered with the same border at the top and the two sides leaving the larger border at the bottom.
- Adhere the Whisper White panels to front and back, also leaving the larger border at the bottom.
- On Garden Green card base, fold top and bottom sections forward.
- Slide the layered panel into the slit and center.
- Using liquid glue or tear and tape, attach the panel to the card base aligning edges at the bottom of the folded section.
- Add Glue or tape across the bottom and folding forward from the center, glue top to bottom, aligning at the bottom edge.
- Next, attach the 1” x 4” pcs to the center sections on the front and back. I attached my sentiment and snowflakes with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals first and then adhered to the card base, but you could adhere the real red layer first and then add the sentiment and snowflakes.
- To stand, just press down on the center slit/score line to form the box and you have an easy Pop Up and Stand, Fun Fold Card.
