Christmas cards Nutcracker

Instructions No. 2860
Instructions No. 2860     Difficulty: Beginner  Working time: 3 Hours

Looking for a great idea for Christmas cards? Our nutcracker-themed cards are wonderful for giving and sending as well as for decorating at Christmas time. With punching templates and stamps in combination with beautiful papers you can create individual cards.

karten nussknacker

This is how you design the cards:

Large map:

First punch out the nutcrackers and the banners from the watercolour paper with the Sizzix embossing machine. Colour them with VBS watercolour pencils. Take another sheet of watercolour paper and fold it in the middle using the VBS contour cutter. Fold it up. This way you have a DIN A5 card. Choose a coloured paper from the Artemio paper pad "Let it snow" for the background. Cut it to the desired size with the cutter and glue it to the card with VBS handicraft glue. Then cut out the snow globe with the fir tree and glue this onto the card too. Stamp the banner with the stamp set. Now apply 3D glue pads to the back of the banner and the nutcrackers and stick them onto the card.

Small card:

Cut a piece of paper to the desired size with the VBS contour cutter, fold it in the middle and fold it into a card. Choose a coloured paper for the background from the Artemio paper pad "Let it snow", cut it to size and stick it to the card with VBS handicraft glue. Then choose a motif from the block and cut it out. Glue it to the card with handicraft glue. Punch out a banner with the Sizzix embossing machine and stamp it with a greeting message. You can shade the edges with watercolour.

Place the silicone stamps "Nutcracker" on a stamp holder and dab them with the waterproof ink pads from Staz-On. Press them onto a piece of watercolour paper. Now paint them with watercolour pencils. When the paint has dried, cut them out and stick them and the banner to the card with 3D glue pads.
