3D On the Shelf Card Kit - Winter Sports Little Snowboarder Jaida is Shreddin The GnarCompleted by Louisa Price

Snow Boarder Girl On the Shelf.

I live in Rossendale which has had a dry Ski slope since 1973, so this is quite apt for where I live. This is ideal for those younger people who are into "Shredding the 'gnar",( give me a pair of ski's any day!)

These cards tend to be on display for quite some time, so it is worth taking the time to print on a good heavy weight card stock, use wet glue rather than tape (which may dry too much then the card will fall apart, especially over an extended period of time on display), and I always print the backing sheet on the back and cover the cut edges with a complimentary colour marker.

This snowboarder is really easy to cut out, though I do cheat and use my SNC now-a-days (pure laziness on my part) and once the parts are cut, scored and cut edges coloured I always glue the top part to the card base first, then fold it up and place it onto the matching envelope so that I can guesstimate where the leg portion needs to be attached, so that it fits nicely in the envelope. Then I use foam tape and pads to add the paper toile, and finish with glossy accents on the eyes, or reflective surface such as the goggles. In this instance as this is snow themed NOT Christmas I also added some fake snow to the pompoms on her hat. A quick and easy card, with impact.
