Santa's Helpers Making Toys - A ZigZag Card

 

Santa's Helpers Making Toys - A ZigZag Card
This zigzag card is like a diorama.  

There are five sections, which when folded together, create a three dimensional scene. Notice the zigzag that is formed when the sections are glued together.  This card fits into an A7 envelope.

Here is the PDF file. I used Neenah brand 65 lb White Gold metallic cardstock from Office Depot.  I used Echo Park "Santa Claus Lane" paper.

Here is the .Studio file.

Here is the SVG. The file goes beyond the viewable area.  Zoom out to see the entire file.

Making the Zigzag Card

When cutting out the design, I recommend using overcut as the intricate pieces might not cut out correctly and also cutting the design with two passes. 

The five sections are glued together by a tab.  Each section is numbered in the file to help with the placement. Look at the photos for placement of the embellishments.

The back panel is a sandwich.

Make the one side of the panel and then glue the backing to the other side(this backing is the center of the pretty paper as the pad of paper only has two pieces of paper of the same type.)

Glue tabs to the back of the pretty paper (the pretty paper was two sided, you can skip this step if your paper is the same on both sides).
