my completed box card using black shimmer card stock as a base

I cut 3 pieces from white foam to give a sugar paste look and 3 from kraft card stock....1 extra,just in case...

I also cut 3 sets of the bow tie out of red card stock

I cut just a strip of black card stock to fit behind the buttons,mouth and eyes....best to not try piecing sections as small as these

Then I glued the bow tie pieces to the base

position your gingerbread men to your tabs,as you like

attach the red trim and 2 cut outs of the hanging baubles(I used gold glitter card stock)

from the top

I cut holly leaves from green foam to add dimension 

attach your sentiment to the front

(I used white foam for mine)

Super cute Gingerbread pop up box card DONE!

Your card folds like this for envelope placement

ideas from other crafters-

Envelope card class

Envelope and card in one

here goes

from a 12 x 12 sheet of card stock(double sided saves you having to cover your plain card stock)

measure and score at-

10 cm    5 mm     10 cm    5 mm    5 cm( for the flap)

15 cm down

if you are adding a decorative edge,do so now

finished card base

for your window-

cut your remaining piece to-

20 cm x 15 cm

Score at 1 cm on both sides and fold backwards 

create a window within the middle ( I used a metal ruler to size mine)

cut out the center piece

attach double sided tape to your flaps

carefully line up your window to your base,making sure it is placed at your scoreline like the picture shows

attach the right sand side,again making sure it lines up to the edge of your card

erase all pencil lines

base .....complete

decorate at will

I layered some pieces for a dimensional look,also cutting some trees out of foam for a snowy look

envelope flip using a corner rounder punch

Same template,using double sided paper

finish with a Velcro closing, ribbon/or paper belly band
