Santa Says Shop Front
1. Die
cut all elements and stamp all to prepare for assembly.
2. Fold
inside working mechanism by working the folds to pop out the main and side
platforms.
3. Insert
the gift card or another card the same size and slide it in between the 2
little slots above platform, down into the slot so you can see area to tape
when applying backing card.
4. Using
ScorTape (or similar), tape edges of card on the back, avoiding areas that must
move. Turn it over and do the same on the other side of the card on its back.
5. Remove
release paper from tape on one side of the card, line up the backing card, tuck
into fold and work exposed tape area onto backing card. Then turn card over, remove release tape from
remaining side, and close the remaining side of the backing card and press
well.
6. Fold
the line of the little pole platform (straight red piece) and add tape to the
foot, run pole through slot platform, remove the release paper foot down with
the edge fitting right up against the back of the card.
7. Using
ScorTape, cover each leg front on all main platforms with tape. Leave tape covered. Do not put tape on the smaller
side platform on the right.
8. Add
some washi tape and bows to little presents and stick one to the front of the
pole platform. Add second present in
front of first present with a pop dot to give it more 3D qualities.
9. Assemble
the sleigh and add round “Santa Says Shop” to the back part of the sleigh as
seen in photo.
10. Remove
tape from two center posts on big platform and align the sleigh supports onto
the posts.
11. Glue
alpine tree above the little side platform.
Add the deer by gluing one of its legs to side platform.
12. Add
ribbon to plain white tag and glue the scalloped oval sentiment in the center
of the red ornament. Tie silver cord
around neck of ornament and mount on tag.
Adhere tag on bottom of card.
13. Glue
two small snowflakes on gifts and end of sleigh, and add one large snowflake at
bottom left of blue area below tag.
14. FOR
FRONT OF CARD: Glue Top Note Die cut in
center of card. Add “Believe” on top of
die cut and decorate with remaining larger snowflake. Your card is
finished. It will fit into an envelope
that a 4 x 6 photo can be mailed in. I found
this size at Staples. Insert the gift
card and watch your recipient be delighted at the way in which you have
presented their gift this year!
