O Holy Night Gatefold Pop-Up Card
Instructions:
1. For the card front: With the card closed, cut ¼" off the top edge, creating a 5"x6¼" card. Open the card and fold the outer sides in to the center score line to make a gatefold card. Open the card again and place it horizontally. Score it vertically ½" on each side of the center score. Leave the center score flat and crease the two scores on each side of it in mountain folds. Close the card front panels.
2. Cut two 2¼"x6" O Holy Night mint green patterned cardstocks and ink the edges with Lily Pad. Place white border Dazzles™ near the upper and lower edges of both panels, trimming the excess. Glue the cardstocks centered on the card front panels.
3. For the inside: Cut the O Holy Night teal patterned cardstocks into five panels: two 2¼"x6", two 1¾"x6", and one ⅞"x6". Ink all the edges with Teal, then glue them centered on the appropriate inside panels. Place a white border Dazzles™ near the outer edges of the left and right panels, trimming the excess.
4. For the pop-up: Center the scene die inside the rectangle die and cut them from white cardstock. Mat it on aqua cardstock with ⅛" borders, then on teal cardstock with 1/16" borders. Place silver “good tidings” Dazzles™ as shown. Place 5" of sticky tape on the center 1" wide panel and attach the matted die-cut to it.
5. For the bellyband: Cut 11"x1¼" teal cardstock. Center the closed card on the strip, then loosely wrap the ends to the front, overlapping them. Glue the ends in place. Cut two 4¾"x1⅛" O Holy Night mint patterned cardstocks and glue them centered on the front and back of the bellyband. Place white border Dazzles™ near the upper and lower edges, trimming the excess.
6. Glue 3¾"x2¾" teal cardstock to white cardstock, then die cut “Merry Christmas” from it. Cut 3¾"x2¾" aqua cardstock and glue the die-cut to the center. Mat it on white cardstock with ⅛" borders, then on teal cardstock with 1/16" borders. Foam tape the greeting to the bellyband at the center front. Slip the bellyband onto the closed card.
