Scrappy Boy Stamps: 3D Believe in the Magic of Christmas!

I am having so much fun with Scrappy Boy Stamps' newest stamp set called Pretty Little Things. I could not resist making another Christmas card, but this time I made a 3D step card that can also be used as a Christmas display. Inspired by The Nutcracker, this stamp set is not just for Christmas, and it comes with coordinating outline dies so you won't have to do any fussy cutting!

Please join the Scrappy Boy Stamps Inspiration Facebook Group for more ideas and inspiration! 

First I stamped all the images, cut them out with the coordinating outline die, and colored them with Copic markers. I then stamped and trimmed the sentiment and added a mat out of black cardstock.

To make this 3D step card, cut out the card base at 12"W x 5-1/4"H and score at 1-1/4", 2-1/2', 4-1/4", 6", and 9".  Fold the card so that it forms a zig zag with the largest panel in the back, which will be the stand.

Then I cut out a 5-1/4" square cardstock panel. I adhered patterned paper to this square panel. Then I decorated this square panel as follows (make sure you decorate the panel before you add to the card base!).

• Decorate each step with a snow hill using white glitter cardstock. I used a hill die from Gina Marie Designs. This is for all 3 step/panels of the card.
• The Christmas tree is cut using an Ellentina Cutting Die out of green cardstock and the snow is white glitter cardstock. The tree is decorated with rhinestones from my stash. The star is a die from Gina Marie Designs (from the same set as the hill). Adhere the tree to the square panel using double sided foam tape.
• The swirls on the card is actually the pumpkin vines from a pumpkin shaker die set from Stamp Anniething. The snowflakes are from Hobby Lobby.

To finish the card, I adhered all the colored stamps and sentiment with a combination of glue dots and liquid glue.  I added pre-made poinsettia flowers to the front with glue dots and the card is finished. 

I hope you give this card a try! This stamp set is just fabulous and fun to play with! Thank you for visiting and have a crafty week!
