Side Pop-Up Christmas Card

Instructions:

1. For the card: Die cut the card front from white cardstock. Use the bone folder and follow the package directions to crease the score lines in mountain and valley folds. Since this card opens in the opposite direction from the other cards, turn the card front over and fold the mountain and valley folds in the opposite direction. Check the photo of the finished card to be sure you have them folded correctly.

2. Cut 6¼"x4½" glitter cardstock and mat it on dark green cardstock with ⅛" borders. On the die-cut front, apply sticky tape to the tab and upper back panel, then flatten the pop-up and attach it centered on the glitter cardstock.

3. For the front: Trace and cut the lower front paper pattern from Joyful Christmas green trees cardstock. Wrap white glimmer ribbon across it, ⅜" from the bottom, and glue the ends to the back. Glue the cardstock centered on the lower front panel. 

4. Trace and cut the left and right side paper patterns from green trees cardstock, then glue them to the panels. Trace and cut the middle bar paper pattern from tan plaid cardstock and the upper front paper pattern from red plaid cardstock. Glue them centered on the panels. 

5. Place black “winter cheer” and “holly jolly” Dazzles™ on the two snowman tag die-cuts shown, then attach lime glimmer ribbon to each. Foam tape the winter cheer snowman to the left front, tucking it under the ribbon. Glue the holly jolly snowman to the middle bar, angled as shown. Place silver glitter snowflake Dazzles™ evenly over the card and tags, then glue white snowflake Dazzles™ to the glitter cardstock on the right end.

6. For the back: Cut 5¼"x2½" Joyful Christmas green trees cardstock and mat it on dark glitter cardstock with ⅛" borders. Glue it to the center back. Glue the moon and snowman die-cut tag angled on the left end and place green “Merry Christmas” Dazzles™ on the right end. Knot a 3" lime ribbon and glue the knot to the tag hole, then place silver glitter snowflakes as shown.
