Polkadoodles Project - Kicking Off Christmas with a Clear Front Easel Card

First Christmas card of the year — check!

I’m officially diving into festive crafting, and what better way to start than with a sparkly, interactive easel clear front card? I love how this one turned out.

For this project, I combined die cutting, digital stamps, and a bit of dimension to create a unique card that’s both sturdy and see-through (yes, acetate powers!). Here’s how I made it and everything I used:

Supplies Used:

• Plain cardstock (blue)

• Acetate sheet

• Glitter cardstock

• Lawn Fawn – Snow Flurries Backdrop dies

• Sizzix Big Shot

• Ohuhu Markers

• Foam tape

• Bearly Art Precision Glue

• Cricut Maker

• Polkadoodles Digi Stamp – Winnie White Christmas

• Polkadoodles Sentiment – Seasons Greetings

• Paper trimmer

🛠️ How I Made It:

1. Cut the acetate to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches.

   
   
   

2. Die cut your glitter cardstock using any border die you like. I used Lawn Fawn’s Snow Flurries Backdrop for a pretty, intricate and sparkly touch.

   
   
   

3. Cut plain cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11 inches, then score it at 5 1/2 inches to create your card base.

   
   
   
   

4. Cut another piece of cardstock to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches — this will be the card front panel.

   
   
   
   

5. Cut out the middle of both card front panels, leaving a 1/4 inch border all around.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

6. Score the card base at 2 3/4 inches on the front flap to create the easel fold.

   
   
   
   

7. Adhere the acetate between the glitter die-cut frame and the front panel.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

8. Glue this layered panel onto the bottom half of the easel fold.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

9. Decorate! I colored Winnie White Christmas (Polkadoodles) with Ohuhu markers and adhered her in the center of the acetate.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

10. To make the easel stand, pop up a sentiment using foam tape. I used Seasons Greetings from Polkadoodles.
