"Twas The Night Before Christmas" Pop Up Christmas Card - Off The Page

Step into the moonlit pages of a Christmas classic.

Inspired by Clement Clarke Moore’s much-loved poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, better known as ’Twas The Night Before Christmas, this extraordinary pop up card transforms a familiar festive story into an intricate paper world.

Santa sweeps across the snowy night sky behind his team of reindeer, while below, a beautifully illustrated house opens to reveal Christmas preparations within. Layer upon layer of original artwork by Reuben McHugh creates a wonderfully theatrical scene, with the printed pages of the poem woven into the design itself.

This is one of the first designs in our new Off The Page collection — a series in which beloved books, poems and stories are reimagined as three-dimensional paper sculptures. Each begins with original illustration before being carefully engineered, laser cut and hand finished to create something somewhere between a painting, a book and a miniature theatre.

Designed to be enjoyed long after Christmas Day, it makes a particularly special card for someone who loves books, illustration, Christmas traditions — or simply the magic of receiving something unexpected through the post.
