| Christmas Pop Up Card |
Hi friends, sharing a special
Interactive Christmas Card which is my DT project for
Rudolph Days Challenge a special Challenge where you can enter your Christmas projects from the 25th to the 30th of each month year long!!
My Christmas card has 3 pop up layers and Santa sliding across the snowy landscape in an aeroplane!

The background has snow falling in the deep purple sky, a cute smiling star and a playful Santa waving from his abode on the moon!

I don't have a lot of stamps to create a background scene so made a simple snowy background by using a stencil and white gesso on purple cardstock!
 |
| Stencilled background |
Gesso has a little bit more bulk than white paint so yeah I was happy with my snowfall!!
 |

To create the snow laden trees , I used an embossing ink pen and
WOW sparkling snow embossing powder on a
Tattered Lace Tree Silhouette die cut and colored the embossed trees with
mowed lawn Distress Inks .
 |
| Christmas Trees Landscape |
The snowy mountain with the trees were popped up in front of the snowy background .

And in front of that I added a cute little cozy looking cottage with a snow-laden rooftop!

On the embossed roof I added glittery "snow"!

Before I got my die cutting machine I used to hand-cut the
apertures for my slider cards...now there are dedicated "slider dies" but since I didn't have one of those, I improvised and created a nice curved aperture using Spellbinders border dies I already had. I used the technique of partial die cutting[ also seen in this post:
Partial Die Cutting tips] so that the die wouldn't cut all the way.
 |
| Slider Mechanism |
I added Santa to a piece of double sided foam tape which was then stuck on a circle of thick cardstock to form a slider.

And my Santa actually spins as he zooms across the snowy mountains!
