Pop Up Box Card Reindeer Tree Presents

A Festive Pop-Up Box Card for Christmas Cheer!

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!

Candy Holder Christmas Ornament

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.

These are a cute fun project. Thanks for stopping by today!

Christmas House Card Inspiration

Lori Whitlock December Inspiration
Today on the Lori Whitlock blog I am sharing this fun Christmas House Creation. I have always loved this file!
 
 I added a little Santa and Sleigh ‘up on the rooftop’ for a bit of fun. I also cut extra elements from the front pieces to add a bit of interest on the inside of the card.  There was one reindeer that did not fit on the rooftop so he got to come inside and eat all the carrots waiting for the other reindeer! Hope he shared LOL!

Tuck Lid Gift Box Santa Claus and Mrs Claus Tutorial

Hello crafty friends!
 
 Today I am making Lori’s Tuck Lid Gift Box.  You can find the bundle (or singles) at Lori’s store HERE. It also includes a cute reindeer, a snowman, a penguin and a fun little gnome. 
 
You can find them at the Silhouette store HERE as well. 
Here are the pieces of Mrs. Claus. For the Mrs. you place the face on top of the white piece, for Santa the face is placed behind the white beard/hat piece. 
Here are the finished front panels of the Mr. & Mrs.
Time to put together the box now. After folding all the creases in the box, add a bit glue to the side tab and then fold the box in half. It lines up perfectly!
Fold over the bottom tabs and glue to finish the box. Leave to top panel free so you can open and close the gift box.
Glue the front panels on to the box.
 
If you are looking for a fast project for some holiday gifties, I would suggest trying these out!
