Whats up everybody! Marcia right here at this time. Since it’s July and Lori simply got here out with some new Christmas field playing cards, I believed I’d get a bounce on making my Christmas playing cards. Do you begin making Christmas initiatives in July? My mother-in-law loves gingerbread, so I believed the Gingerbread Man Christmas Current Field Card (SVG, Silhouette) could be good for her. There are comparable new Christmas Current Field Playing cards with Santa, Reindeer, Snowman, and so on…

Let me present you the way simple these field playing cards are to make.

Step 1.  Resolve on cardstock colours and/or sample papers and reduce out all items. I prefer to match the bottom cardstock as shut as doable to the sample paper I’m utilizing. The reduce file comes with a tag and three completely different sentiments. You should utilize the print and reduce function of your machine to create the tag. In any other case, a stamped sentiment works nicely too. Earlier than assembling, I ink the sides of my papers to present the shapes dimension. Right here I’ve the items roughly organized in layers.

Step 2.  Adhere the Flower collectively, the Mug, and the Gingerbread Man. To get the eyes and mouth simply good, save the adverse piece and use it as a information. You’ll by no means once more have eyes too huge aside or a crooked smile ever once more! Adhere the ribbon and bow paper items onto the cardboard base.

Step 3.  Lower a chunk of twine and fix to the tag. Utilizing a pointy decide, poke holes within the bow utilizing the dots as a information. Thread the ends of the twine by so you possibly can tie it off in a knot at the back of the bow. I secured the tag in place with foam tape. (Optionally, you could possibly thread the twine by earlier than adhering the bow entrance the the bow again.) Glue the aspect tab to the alternative aspect to type the cardboard base. Utilizing foam tape, add the flower to the entrance.

Step 4. Adhere the inserts into the cardboard base putting the mug in entrance of the gingerbread man.

These playing cards do fold flat for mailing in a 5×7 envelope. Lori has a number of Christmas card concepts in her store. Go examine all of them out and have some enjoyable making your individual playing cards!

Thanks a lot for stopping by.
