Why

Making greeting cards can be "snow" much fun! With the Crayola Cutter, you can make unique peek-inside cards to send to family and friends for any holiday!

Steps

1. Fold paper in half to make the card. Follow the package directions to use your Crayola Cutter. Open the card and place it on the Cutter mat. Cut out a window on the front flap of the card. It’s easy to make window panes, snow sculptures, snow flakes, or any inside cut shapes!
2. Place wide tape over the opening with the sticky side facing the front of the card. On the sticky side of the tape, spread Crayola Glitter Glue to create your snowy window! Use additional Glitter Glue to decorate the card. Air-dry the glitter glue.
3. Be creative! Use Crayola Twistables® Crayons to decorate around and behind the snowy window. Make one-of-a-kind cards to show how much you care!

When & Where

"My daughter and I used this technique to make 3-D pictures for Chanukah. We framed them for gifts."
- Angela P., mother of age 9.

"We created these cards in our after-school program. The new twist on a traditional craft really appealed to the children!"
- Jasmine T., child care provider.

Interesting Info

One of the most popular times to send and receive cards is at Christmas. The custom started in Victorian England. Before this time, people often sent Christmas letters. The letters took a long time to write, so in 1843 Sir Henry Cole asked artist John Calcott Horsley to create the first Christmas cards. By 1862, Christmas cards were so popular they were being mass-produced with pictures of robins, holly, mangers, and snowmen.
