Box Card Christmas Sleigh Tutorial

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a fun and easy tutorial to make this adorable Box Card Christmas Sleigh.  You can find the SVG file for this card here in Lori’s store and  here in the Silhouette Design store.  I pieced it together using Lori’s Echo Park line called  A Lumberjack Christmas.

Here are the pieces that you will cut out to make your box card.  Just a note, if you are using two sided paper, then you are going to want to reverse the design of the sleigh part that is in the top left corner.  It goes inside your sleigh on the back piece and you will want it to be the color of your sleigh.

Start by gluing the Santa, Santa’s Bag and sleigh embellishments to their base pieces.

First you want to assemble the sleigh.  It is formed using the 2 sleigh shaped pieces and the rectangle piece.  Fold along all the score lines.  Attach the front of the sleigh (the longer piece with the snowflakes ) to the back of the sleigh using the tab.  Then add the rectangle to be the front of the sleigh and glue to both sides to complete your “box”.

You then want to add your inserts.  Fold the tabs on all the inserts backward, then add adhesive to the outside of the tab.  Slide them in in order…They are numbered along their glue tabs.  The number one (santa) goes in front.  Slide it in to the sleigh box towards the front of the sleigh, ( about 1/3 of the way into the box) and press the tabs to the sides of the sleigh to adhere.   Next, slide the Santa Bag tab in behind the santa tab about the same distance.  You want the inserts to be approximately equal distance from each other and the sides of the sled.  You are done and have a lovely card which folds flat for mailing.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Anita
