Welcome to Day 1 of my Nutcracker series using a variety of stamps and die sets to make some nutcracker themed cards. My card today uses products by Hero Arts – Big Mouth Nutcracker Bundle of dies and A Little Nuts stamp set.

Watch the process video below to learn how this card was made.
Cardbase: Cut from white light-to-medium weight cardstock one 4.25 x 5.5-inch rectangle. Also cut one pink 4.25 x 5.5-inch rectangle.

Slider Mechanism: Cut three of the large mechanism from the Big Mouth Slider die set from light-to-medium weight cardstock. Cut one “T” interactive sliding piece from pink. Using the upside-down “U” die cut out an opening as shown in the video above from the center bottom pink panel.

Sentiments: Stamped sentiments are from the Stamp & Cut A Little Nuts set. Inside the mouth is “Hope your holiday is all it’s cracked up to be.” On the card back is a nutcracker and “Let’s have a cracking Christmas.”

Envelope: The panel card fits into an A2 size envelope with a nutcracker and “Peace, Love & Pecans” on the envelope back.
