A pop-up Christmas card that opens into Santa and his sleigh. It is the smaller of the two sleigh cards, square rather than tall.
The Square Compresses the Scene
A sleigh is a long object and a square card gives it less room to stretch into than a portrait one does. The result is a more compact scene, which some people prefer: the sleigh reads as a single piece rather than as a procession across the card.
A Simpler Fold
Less cut paper and a simpler mechanism, which makes this the version to buy if you are sending several and want the postage to stay reasonable. The elaborate cards are for the few people who will keep them on a mantel; this one is for the list.
Opened on a mantel, a square card has a wider base than a tall one and is harder to knock over. For a Christmas card, which will be standing somewhere for weeks rather than being read once, that is worth something.
Blank Inside
Nothing on the card is personalised. No proof is produced and nothing waits on approval, so it can be ordered late in December and written the day it arrives. Cut paper holds its colour where printed ink fades, which on a card standing in a bright room through the whole of December is worth having.
It Folds Flat and Comes Back
Closed, the card posts in an ordinary envelope like any other. Opened, the sleigh rises and stands on its own with nothing to assemble or prop up.
Afterwards it folds flat again and goes into the box with the decorations, which is why these come out the following year as ornaments rather than being recycled in January. The big sleigh card is the version with more depth and more to look at, and most people send both: this one widely, that one to a few.
Between the two sleigh cards the decision is mostly about quantity. The big one has more depth and more to look at and suits the few households whose mantel it will stand on; this one is simpler, cheaper to post and sturdier in a batch of twenty. A square card also has a wider base when opened and is harder to knock over. Both fold flat into the same decorations box afterwards.

When you can’t be there to wish your loved ones a happy holiday, Santa always has a little extra room in his sleigh to deliver your special message. This sweet pop-up greeting card opens to show Santa Claus traveling with his reindeer in 3D, saying “Merry Christmas” as he passes by! There’s plenty of room inside for you to add your own handwritten greeting, too.
