WOW!
Check out this fun wiper card I made using the Santa Express DSP!
It is sooo stinkin' cute in person!
I have made many wiper cards over the years, but
I haven't made one for a few years.
My inspiration came from a card that I got
from my demonstrator friend Laura Barto.
I made the Santa Express DSP be my main focus on the whole card.
I love it when Stampin' Up! coordinates their DSP with their dies together,
so that you can die cut several images right from the DSP!
COOL HUH!
I think it is just adorable!
For the backside I could have used a whole 4 x 5 1/4" piece of
Basic White card stock for my greeting, but I just used this scrap piece I had!
How did I make the wiper?
from the top right corner to the center bottom edge as shown to make a tab.
2. Attach this tab to the top side of the accordion fold by adding adhesive
onto the triangle part only & stick it down as shown above.
3. This tab is the part that you can now add the pop up penguin/post/sign onto!
4. See how I folded the tab downward & attached the post/sign/penguin onto it.
MAKE SURE that you have whatever you are attaching to the tab be facing upward.
When adhered together this all lays completely FLAT when the card is folded shut.
5. I attached this bottom z fold strip to the z fold card base at both ends
& the center is all open & not attached to anything.
Here is a view from the top when the card is standing up!
Notice how the 2 z fold pieces are attached to each other on the ends only.
By looking at it this way is kinda forms an open center box.
And here is an interesting thought when assembling this card-
Both the z fold base & the z fold strip are score identically.
BUT you just flip the strip over so that it folds in the opposite direction.
Neat Huh!
The z fold card base is- 4 1/4 x 8 1/2"- scored at 5 1/2" & 7".
The front z fold strip is- 2 x 8 1/2"- scored at 5 1/2 & 7" &
then you just flip it over- which then makes the z folds at 1 1/2" & 3".
I stamped these images-
- Special Delivery words for the sign
- Penguin- colored him with Stampin' Blends & die cut him.
- Puffs of smoke- colored them with Stampin' Blends & die cut out.
- Santa Claus is coming to town words.
- Merry Christmas words on the back side.
Here are the supplies & measurements for the card.
stamp set: Santa's Delivery- words for sign; penguin; puffs of smoke

- Poppy Parade- 4 1/4 x 8 1/2"- score at 5 1/2" & 7"
- Poppy Parade- 2 x 8 1/2"- score at 5 1/2 & 7" & then flip the card stock over, which makes the scored lines at 1 1/2 & 3"
