Starbook “Christmas”

Want to surprise a loved one with a special, homemade greeting card? Or maybe you'd like to send a little Christmas cheer to someone who can't be home for the holidays with this Nativity to Go. These instructions give you the opportunity to do just that.

You will receive a

SVG file (vector format)
as well as a multi-page PDF file with assembly instructions in German and English (US terminology) and the templates in original size.

This means: The card parts can also be created manually.

I recommend using cardboard (250 - 300 g/sqm) and paper (approx. 120 g/sqm).

Please note:

This is a digital download, no physical items will be delivered. The files are for your personal use only! If you use a cutting plotter, please make sure that your cutting program opens/imports the file format before purchasing.

This special card consists of 5 segments and can be completely unfolded. Seen from above it looks like a star. The base cards are made of gold card. The two overlays for each section are made of tonal paper in metallic white and metallic cream.

The card also looks great if you use matching design paper (possibly with gold or glitter elements) for the overlays on the outside.

If something does not work or if you have any questions about the installation, please send me an e-mail.

If you would like to send the card: This card may be too heavy to send as a standard letter - depending on the card used - please enquire about postage.

If you use a cutting plotter, please ensure that your cutting software opens/imports the SVG file format before purchasing. It is assumed that you know how to use a cutting plotter and the corresponding software.

Suitable for beginners.

A detailed PDF tutorial in English and German including the full size cutting templates is included in the download.

The size of the card is about 10.3 x 14 cm (suitable for a C6 envelope), but the size of the SVG file is freely scalable.
