Gingerbread family pop out card

Good Morning everyone.  Welcome to December, the countdown is on😀

Today im sharing a fun card, i made one for each of my brothers families and nieces.  I think the girls will have fun with the spinning pop out

6x6" cream card.  I first scored, folded and cut a sheet of cream pearl card into my 6x6 base card, and decorated the front with papers from a 12x12 paper pad, i loved this gingerbread house paper and thought it would be the ideal village for my gingerbread family to live in.  The sentiment is die cut from more cream pearl card then glued to a large oval die cut from green paper from the same paper pad that i used for the inside.  I die cut the tonic gingerbread people from brown & cream pearl cardstock and adhered the 2 layers together and attached to the card front.  Glitter glue highlights to finish

and below is how i did the pop out

I took a 2nd sheet of cream pearl card and cut it smaller to fit inside and scored into 4 equal panels and concertina it, then folding it in half i die cut an oval from the middle on the score line.  I decorated all the panels with red & green patterned papers.  I attached clear thread to the back of the pop out where the oval is and then attached the pop out section to the middle of the card by just gluing down both end panels, I found it easier to glue one side, add the glue to the back of the other end panel and closed the card down, this ensured the card would close nicely.

I then die cut the gingerbread people from pearl card stock and attached to the inside.  I cut 2 for the spinner, gluing one either side of the thread so that its double sided.

When i closed the card up I twisted the gingerbread man on the thread like winding it up so that when they open the card he spins.
