Shadowbox card “Nativity scene”

Do you enjoy crafting and want to surprise your loved ones with a special, homemade greeting card? Maybe you'd like to send a little holiday cheer to someone who can't be home for Christmas with this "Nativity to Go". This file gives you the opportunity to do just that.

You will receive a

SVG file (vector format)
and a multipage PDF file with instructions in English and German and the templates in original size.

This allows you to make the card parts by hand.

I recommend the use of cardboard (250 - 300 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.

The special 3D effect of the card is created by the special shadow box technique, in which the individual layers are mounted with a little space between them. When assembled, the card is approximately 4.4 cm deep. The front layer of the card shown is made of pearl white metallic cardstock, the layers behind are made of matching metallic cardstock (cream, gold, dark brown).

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 assembly, please send me an e-mail.

If you would like to send the card: This card cannot be sent as a standard letter due to its size and weight, please enquire about the postage incurred.

If you use a cutting plotter, please make sure 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 cutting templates in original size is included in the download.

The size of the card is approx. 10.6 x 10.6 cm (depth approx. 4.4 cm), when folded approx. 10.6 x 15 cm (fits into a C6 envelope), the size of the SVG file is of course freely scalable.

(Metallic) cardboard in four coordinated colors (e.g. white, cream, gold, brown), if desired: matching design paper for the outer overlays
Computer with plotter software and a cutting plotter
Alternatively: cutter knife
Glue or double-sided adhesive tape

If you like my tutorial, I would appreciate a positive rating.

    Super nachzuarbeiten.
    Die Anleitung ist super einfach zustricken. Doch gibt es eine Sache, die mich sehr gestört hat. Der Name durch die Anleitung. Ich bin Sehbehindert und da stören solche Dinge besonders, sind meiner Meinung nach auch nicht nötig.

    Absolut demotivierend !
    Liebe Anfänger, lasst die Finger davon, sonst werdet ihr nie wieder eine Nadel in die Hand nehmen. Ich bin Dauerhäklerin und habe schon viele schwierige Anleitungen durchgearbeitet und schöne Stücke erhalten. Das hier ist so unübersichtlich vom Maschenbild, dass man sich nie sicher sein kann. In den Fotos ist nicht klar erkennbar welche Masche gemeint ist und der Film, so man ihn auf Youtube überhaupt findet(O6O oder 060?), ist zu schnell zu unübersichtlich und ohne sprachliche Erklärung. Den einen Stern von mir gibt's nur für das schöne Motiv. Falls es mit einer normalen Häkelart gehäkelt wird. Frieditta

    Tolles Motiv, wird ein tolles Weihnachtsgeschenk für meine Hundesitter!
    Es hat sehr gut geklappt, die Anleitung ist sehr übersichtlich gestaltet und entworfen! Interessant finde ich, dass ich mich gar nicht entscheiden kann, ob mir die Vorder- oder die Rückseite besser gefällt… Danke, gerne wieder!

    Für mich als Nicht-Profi schwierig, aber außerordentlich netter Support
    Ich hatte ursprünglich einen anderen Bewertungstext, da ich zunächst enttäuscht war, dass ich mit der Anleitung Schwierigkeiten hatte (als Anfänger). Zudem hatte ich mir gewünscht, dass die Beispielbilder farbig wären anstelle schwarz-weiß. Kurz nachdem ich meine Bewertung eingestellt hatte, schrieb mich die Verfasserin unwahrscheinlich freundlich an und ging auf alle meine angegebenen Punkte ein. Sie bot mir direkt an, dass ich gerne persönlich Kontakt aufnehmen könne und sie mir bei Problemen gerne zur Seite stehen würde - ebenso bekam ich den Hinweis für eine farbige Bebilderung. Und das, obwohl ich meine Bewertung bereits eingestellt hatte. Ich muss sagen, dass hat mich doch sehr beeindruckt und gefreut, gleichermaßen aber auch beschämt, dass ich aufgrund meiner Enttäuschung über mein Nicht-Gelingen direkt eine mittelmäßige Bewertung abgegeben habe, die ich jetzt revidieren möchte. Vielen Dank für die nette Rückmeldung! 🧶

    Super Anleitung
    Alles sehr verständlich erklärt, leider bekomme ich das mit dem mitlaufenden Faden einhäkeln nicht hin. Bin dann immer schief oder habe es doppelt gehäkelt. Vielleicht häkle ich auch zu fest. Ich umhäkle den Faden jetzt immer, dann sieht man ihn halt durch.

    Ein tolles Motiv. Das Nacharbeiten hatte ich mir allerdings wesentlich einfacher vorgestellt.
