Christmas Village Elegance Pop-Up Card

Instructions:

1. For the card: Cut 8½"x5" Christmas Elegance caramel trees cardstock and place it horizontally. Score it 1½", 2½", 6", and 7" from the left end. Crease the two outer scores in mountain folds and the two inner scores in valley folds. Foam tape the brown standing deer to the center panel as shown.

2. For the front: Cut 6½"x5" acetate. Place 1½" pieces of sticky tape horizontally on each corner of the caramel cardstock (so the tape will be covered with die-cuts). Flatten one end of the card toward the center and attach the acetate to the sticky tape pieces, aligning the card edges.

3. Trace and cut the snow pattern from ivory cardstock, then glue it along the lower edge of the acetate. Glue the brown “Merry Christmas” border die-cut along the upper edge. Trim the ends of the maroon lights swag die-cut and glue it to the front as shown.

4. Foam tape the maroon Santa and brown present die-cuts near the left edge overlapping them as shown. Foam tape the ivory snowman near the right edge, and the brown squirrel at the lower right. Foam tape the caramel cat near Santa as shown.

5. For the back: Cut 3¼"x4¾" caramel trees cardstock and glue it centered on the back. Foam tape the maroon “heartfelt love and wishes this Christmas” die-cut at the upper right.
