5. How to assemble your Christmas card
1. Cut the frame of your card along the
thick line. Then fold along the dotted
lines as shown in the picture here.
Next cut the two thick lines, which are
for inserting the long strip of paper as
shown in the illustration above.
2. Color and cut out the long strip of
paper with the Nativity scene. Cut the
two thick lines, and then bow slightly
to form an arc.
When cutting out the figures, you don’t have
to cut right on the black lines. Simply cut a
few millimeters from the figure.
• Color the background of the card, and
color and cut out the various figures
to place around the card to create the
scene.
• You can use colored glitter or small
shining stars to decorate your card.
• You can also use the template on the
next page to create your own scene and
draw your own figures. You might like to
use colored paper or other materials to
decorate your card.

To fit your card into an
envelope, first remove
the strip of paper with
the Nativity scene. Then
fold the tabs inside and
insert your card, the strip,
and the angel into an
envelope.

6. TEMPLATES
You can use these
to create your own
Christmas card
design or make other
cards using the idea
presented on the
previous pages.
You can also make
a simpler card by
cutting a piece of
paper to size for
your envelope, and
decorating it with
figures from this
project.
