Introduction
Pop-Up 3D Christmas Card
This is a lovely Christmas card that you can customize. A Christmas setting that makes an excellent Christmas Card. The pieces fit perfectly and stay upright without having to use glue.

Place your 3mm board into the M1. You must use 3mm wood in order for the pieces to fit appropriately and slide into the slots. I use the Honeycomb and air assist for the cutting and scoring. I chose to score rather than engrave for a couple of reasons- the processing time is much shorter and scoring allows for the project to be painted.


Upload the file I provided and make sure the setting are input properly. Refresh the image and hit "auto-measure" in XCS. This will ensure the most accurate image is provided. Move the images in the file so they fit onto your board. Hit Process and then Frame to be sure all of the objects will fit onto your wood. When everything is ready hit Process and then the blinking light on the M1 and watch the magic happen. Never leave your machine unattended while in use.

Once all of your pieces have been cut out you can start to assemble them.

Some of the pieces are a tight fit to ensure they don't fall out. Just match the pieces in the photo to slide into the right spot on the round base.

This will be really great to make for my cat lover friend at Christmas. One of the best designs I've seen in any category. Thank you for sharing.

This is so cute! I cut out the little parts (presents and mice) to add to a project of my own and I'm prepping to cut out the whole thing now. Cut like butter with my D1 Pro!

Sorry in advance for the dumb question, but can this project be done with a D1 Pro 20w? If so, how? Thanks in advance.

A great design, I will have to change the cat for a dog, as I am allergic to cats unfortunately...
