Bad Santa 1 3D Shelf Card Kit with Card BoxCompleted by Louisa Price

A multi sheet kit with a envelobox. There's always someone you know who would appreciate this card, some one with a sense of humour! This is Bad Santa, and there's lots of detail that you cant see with a camera, short of dis-assembling it, for example the children in the sack, or the snowman, but I will leave you to discover those for your self!

I printed the 2 main card bas pieces, the card base, and the Shelf on a good sturdy 320gsm matte photo card, If your printer wont take something that heavy then print off the shelf and card base, and then print off the backing paper onto as heavy card stock as you can and glue them together before cutting out. The base does need to be strong or it will start to splay. I printed the rest of the pieces onto a matte 220 gsm card stock, and then cut the pieces out, Top tip use Forest Moss Distress ink to hide any cut edges, and then decoupaged each section, there can be quite a few layers, see the photos. I added glaze to eyes, bottles nose and cans, and glitter pen/ink to anything else that just needed a touch of some thing. X-cut do a set of 3 circle punches, that are white and square, and the middle size of these punches is a perfect fit for the buttons that decorate the front of the shelf.

I made the envelobox as per the instructions on a heavy weight paper, using the border-less setting on my printer, but do follow the instructions provided, as the card is too large for an 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch envelope, and carefully made it up making sure that my printer hadnt printed things out in the wrong size (there things happen).

A lovely quirky card for fans of Krampus....
