Pop up box cardCreate this sweet, dimensional nativity scene in a pop-up box card:  Using the pop-up box card template, cut out the pop up box card base from red card. Cover the flaps with sheet music, leaving a thin border.Cut two 11cm strips of red card, then score and fold a 1cm tab either end. These are your internal struts. Cut out some Nativity characters, we've used Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus and the manger, then arrange and glue the characters to one of the struts.Fussy cut the stable and attach to the other internal strut. Secure the struts inside your box card, making sure they’re evenly spaced.Cut out a sentiment, lamb, tree, lantern and donkey from your printables and build up your stable scene. Tie a bow of twine behind the lantern and finish with an adhesive gem.Fussy cut the star of Bethlehem and mount onto gold glitter card, leaving a thin border. Cut a 7 x 1cm strip of acetate, and stick the star at the top. Attach the strip of acetate behind the stable.2. Shepherd's delight Use the stepper card template to make this neat centre stepper card that folds flat for postage. The ‘O Holy Night’ sentiment makes for an ideal focal point behind the shepherd. Here's a top tip: ripped up sandpaper is brilliant for creating sand! Just make sure to use a wet glue if you stick anything on top of it so that it sticks properly. 3. No words needed You don’t always need to use a sentiment. Sometimes the images are enough on their own, like this heartwarming take on the classic starburst card. Lay a piece of music paper onto your card base, then take the Bethlehem skyline paper and snip a wedge out of it.Stick two strips of gold glitter paper along the inside edges of the wedge (use tape on the back - it sticks better).Cut out the star and back this also onto gold glitter card, then cut around the star leaving a small border.Now attach the star at the top of the wedge in your Bethlehem paper.Mount your Bethlehem paper onto the music paper using foam pads for added dimension.Rip up some sandpaper and lay at the bottom of the card.Finally, add a wise man to follow the star!Download your free Nativity printables:To download your free Nativity printables, click on the link below the image and it will open in a new window.
