It’s Day 1 of my 12 Days of Christmas Ovens.

I’m using a stamp and die set by Diamond Press to create this interactive card that lets you pull the tab to open the oven door and reveal a Christmas turkey. (Because this kit doesn’t include any holiday sentiments, I had to use ones by other sources.)

Watch video above for a tutorial on how to make the card.

Cardbase: I used a purchased top-fold A2 size (2.25 x5.5-inch) gray cardbase and punched a half circle opening in the top center for a thumb hole to help with the pull tab. To help with the weight of the front, I added a 4×5.25-inch piece of the same green cardstock I had used for the front matching ups the thumb hole notches.

Oven: I watched an assembly video before I started my card. Then I cut the pieces I needed from green colored cardstock and white 65 lb. white cardstock.

Sentiments: For my original card, the outside “Merry Christmas” sentiment, I cut the words from a commercial Christmas card. For the card in my process video, I used stamps from the Greetery saying “Warmest Winter Wishes.” Inside both cards is “Happy Holidays, a die-cut sentiment by Karen Burniston in black.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 envelope.
