Classic Christmas Pop-Up Card
Instructions:
1. For the card: Cut 9¾"x5" maroon cardstock and place it horizontally. Score it vertically ½", 1¼", 2½", and 3¼" from the left end. Crease all the scores in mountain folds. Place sticky tape on the outer surface of the ½" tab on the left end. Tuck that end under , then flatten the card on the 1¼" and 3" folds, adhering the tab to the largest panel.
2. For the front: Cut 5"x4¾" Classic Christmas holly cardstock. Apply the holly border rub-on to the cardstock near the right end, then glue the cardstock centered on the largest panel front. Cut two ⅝"x4¾" holly cardstocks and glue one centered on each narrow panel. Cut a 1⅛"x4¾" holly cardstock and apply the candy cane border rub-on to it near the long left edge. Glue the cardstock centered on the remaining front panel.
3. Cut 5"x4" maroon cardstock and place it horizontally. Score it vertically ½" and 1¼" from the right end. Crease both scores in mountain folds. Place sticky tape on the back of the left end panel. Attach it to the 1¼" wide front panel, ⅝" from the left edge.
4. Place sticky tape on the outer surface of the ½" wide tab, then flatten the card and secure the tape to the largest front panel. Cut 3½"x3¾" Classic Christmas dotted cardstock with borders along the top and right edges. Glue it centered on the large pop-up panel. Cut ⅝"x3¾" of the same cardstock and glue it to the narrow right pop-up panel.
5. Glue two poinsettia die-cuts to the front pop-up panel at the upper right and lower left corners. Foam tape the “may the joy…” die-cut between them. Glue a berry cluster to the front at the lower right corner. Place Diamond Sparkles in the poinsettia centers. Tie a bow with the stitched grosgrain ribbon and glue it over the center die-cut’s hole.
6. For the back: Mat the 3"x2½" blank label cutout on green cardstock with ⅛" borders, then apply the “Christmas greetings” rub-on near the right end. Glue it and the Santa die-cut to the center back. Glue large and small berry cluster die-cuts to the back as shown.
