Hi friends! Welcome to the Printable Cuttable Creatables Blog Hop! Please visit all of our blogs (links below) and check out all the great inspiration the design team has to offer.
I am totally on-board with the pink Christmas trend and I just had to include this nutcracker. It really brightens my mood and is so sweet and sparkly.
Supplies Used:
- Nutcracker SVG File (use can use my code: paulasstudio15 to get a 15% discount!)
- Heavy cardstock for the slimline card base
- Cardstock for the nutcracker in choice of colors
- Patterned paper for background
- Adhesive
- Cutting machine, such as a Cricut machine or Silhouette Cameo
- Scoring board with bone folder
- White acrylic paint for splatter (optional)
- Adhesive foam for dimension (optional)
- Size 10, letter envelope for mailing
1. Bring the separated version of the SVG file into
your cutting machine software. I often bring in the assembled version too. I
use it as a visual assembly guide.
2.
Resize the image as desired for a slimline card.
Slimline cards are 3.5” x 8.5”
3.
Color the pieces on screen to what you would
like for the paper. This helps make it easier to group pieces together in each color.
4. 4. Cut all shapes in the desired papers.
5. I had decided that I wanted the nutcracker to
have gray hair instead of white. This means the base nutcracker piece is cut in
gray. However, this would make the whites of his eyes to be gray too. To change
his eyes to white I cut a piece of white cardstock and adhered to the back of
the face piece to it shows through as white.
6.
6. This design has many small pieces that are easy
to work with using reverse tweezers. They are tweezers that stay closed on their
own making it easier to hold a piece for applying glue a placing on the design.
7.
7. Assemble and adhere all pieces of the
nutcracker.
8.
8. Choose a patterned paper for the background and
splatter with white paint for a snowy effect. Glue to front of card base.
9.
9. To add some dimension, use adhesive foam to
attach the nutcracker to the card base.
Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones! I hope you
give this card a try!
