Gatefold Thanksgiving card

Three of the cards today are very simple.  This is the first of the three.  Notice I’m not saying anything about the fourth card?
 

This is the inside of the card:

Here is a series of photos to help you put the card together.  Fold the 2 sides into the middle.

A simple birthday card

 Another simple card.  Just follow along with the pictures below.

Thinking of you - sympathy

This one is also simple so I’m just going to post a bunch of pictures in the order of assembly.

 

Hold on to your (Drummer Bears) hat

 This is NOT a simple card but it’s not not as hard as it looks.

Just follow along with the photos.  I’ll interject where needed.

Oops, I don’t know what happened to the camera!

Sorry for the glare.  That’s the smallest gold piece.

So now you have all the sections put together.  The first section you should put on the base is the bear’s face.  Then put his shirt on.  Now fold the card so that the box is in the front.  Now insert the piece with the drumsticks, hands, and the top of the drum.

Attach the insert on the back of the card and you are finished!  Whew!!

Santa’s bestest nice list

 

As box cards go, this one has tons of pieces.  Plan on spending several hours putting it together.  (Okay, so it’s not that difficult.)

I’m going to post a series of photos where various components are grouped together.  These are the two pieces that make up the box:

Fold on the score lines to form the box..  You should end up with this:

Fold the side flaps and front flap down.

Here’s the next group of pieces.  The tree is the 3rd insert in the box.

Attach the decorated tree to the back of the inside of the box and move on to the presents insert.

That was easy, wasn’t it?

Now for the Santa insert.

Assemble the pieces onto the insert starting with Santa’s velour suit, followed by his arm.  Then attach the list, making sure that the arm isn’t hiding any name.  Adhere the white glove with the cuff, again be careful to avoid covering a name. Put Santa’s belt on and the white trim.

Add the phrase Nice List as shown above.  Then start on the face:

Using a black pen, give Santa some eyes so he can find your chimney.

(I forgot to!!)

Add his mustache and then insert him to the inside front of the box.

Attach the sentiment to the top of the back of the card. (No picture taken.)
