Being the season of giving is quickly approaching (and I have very little money to actually buy stuff to give) I thought I'd compile some craft ideas to shell out come December 25th. And what better way to say Seasons Greetings than with a lift the flap Christmas card?
What you'll need:
Land O Lakes butter box
exacto knife/scissors/saftey pin/steak knife... something sharp and pointy
scotch tape
decrotive card stock
glue stick/glue gun/something sticky
What to do:
1. Find the side of the box with the little Native American girl.
2. Cut this panel out and put the rest of the box to the side. You'll need it later.
3. Holding the Panel, cut the part of the picture off that says "same great butter taste" but be careful not to disrupt the trees, river and grass.
4a. Now take your pointy object and CAREFULLY cut around the butterbox she is holding. Cut a line up the two sides and the bottom, leaving the top connected, making a flap.
4b. You could cut the whole box out, but I like an element of surprise. Your Call...
5. Pick up the rest of the box you had put to the side and cut a mediumish sized rectangle around the Native American's knees. Once you cut the knees out you can toss the rest. Unless you need butter recipes.... then save it.
6.Now comes the important part. Line up the knees under the flap you cut into the first panel, so they look like tits.
7. When this is in place, scotch tape the hell out of it.
8. Fold cardstock in half and place the Land O Lakes cover on top of it, cutting excess off.
9. Glue cover onto card stock.
10. Write a clever witty message inside... preferably something about butter and christmas. Maybe "Hope this card 'butters' you up to get me a good present this year". If you're not witty attatch it to a canister of butter cookies and the standard "Merry Christmas xoxox" should do.
