Evergreens in Snow - papercuts, adult art class student display, 1/6/20

Class worked hard trying to follow my instructions for this yet untested idea. We have done variations on it over the years. The difference here is that the foldover flap with the cutouts stays attached to the background panel. Before I write out or draw up instructions, how about treating this as a puzzle to solve!

There must be a way to post answers - in the comments! Do try it!

Winter scenes - evergreens in snow papercuts. Adult art class, 1/14/19

This is a project that can really bullox our brains! We try to cut 3 trees in 3 frames in the top sheet, (which is copy paper). We color backgrounds on card stock. We then fasten the papercut to the background sheet.
We have tried to fold the top sheet into accordion folds from which we cut trees in window frames. Those frames often get dropped somehow! We can end up with just trees! Or a reversal of the background coloring being the trees! Lots of possibilities..
