Fit for a royal pop up Christmas card

by mel.jess.author

1

Score and fold a 12x6” piece of navy cardstock at 3” and 6”. Mark (but do not score) the 9” point.

2

Mark the 3” point along both short sides, cut from this mark diagonally to the 3” point from each end on the long sides. Remove the four corners to create the easel flap (folded end) and easel base.

3

Affix a 4¼” square of navy cardstock to the easel flap to complete the card base.

4

Stamp and heat-emboss a pattern of trees onto an A4 piece of Centura Pearl cardstock using Midnight ink, then stamp more using VersaMark ink and silver heat-emboss them.

5

Cover two 4” silver mirror card squares with the patterned cardstock, then affix one to the easel flap and the other to the base.

6

Cut a 2¾” silver square and a 2½” stamped square. Cut both in half diagonally and adhere together, then affix to the base.

7

Stamp, heat-emboss and cut out the ‘NOEL’ sentiment, colouring the letters before affixing to a layer of navy cardstock and trimming a border. Affix over the circle die-cuts.

8

Add an embellished bow to the stopper and gems all over the card. Affix white cardstock inside the card to write a message.
