This time, I had so much fun creating a really special pop-up box card featuring a sweet reindeer. It’s one of those projects that instantly makes you smile while crafting — and it’s absolutely perfect for Christmas.
Let’s be honest: nothing is more fun than receiving real mail during the holidays. A handmade card popping out of the envelope feels extra special and is such a lovely way to surprise your loved ones at Christmas. This pop-up box card stands up beautifully, making it a little gift all on its own.
You can purchase this card file individually, or as a bundle that includes three different card designs, directly from Lori’s shop:
To add a bit of extra magic, I gave my card a mini sparkle effect by cutting snowflakes from glitter cardstock. That subtle shimmer really brings the wintery feel to life and makes the card feel even more festive.
And of course, I used some cute and colorful design paper, and the sentiment is cut out of black vinyl
I hope this project inspires you to send some happy mail this season.
Lori’s shop is full of great Christmas card files.
Wishing everyone a beautiful and creative holiday season throughout December — enjoy the magic of Christmas crafting!

Hi there friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the new Candy Holder Christmas Ornament Santa (SVG, Silhouette). This ornament comes in several different styles as well. You can find the bundle here. I used the Lindt Lindor chocolate and found that a heavier (85lb) cardstock worked better than a lighter (60lb) one. But these are definitely a great scrap buster project. These cuties would look great tied to a gift as well as hanging on a tree.
After I cut everything out I decided to discard the round cheeks for some pink chalk that I applied with a paint brush. I then assembled the faces of my characters. The front of the Santa also has a belt, a white ruffle for the hat, an additional cover for the top of the hanger and a white ruffle for the bottom of his jacket.
With the front of the characters done I folded the score line into mountain folds. Before tucking the candy into the belly of the ornament, I used some glue dots to secure the wrapper onto the back of the candy. I then added glue to just the top of the inside of the ornament. Creating a little A-Frame shape with the ornament. The chocolate then slides right into the belly of the ornament.
I added a sticker and tied some bakers twine to the top.
