They are actually really easy to make....

I made a 6x6 base, then you just add you layers as you wish.
I cut (4) 2.5" x 5" strips and scored them at 2.5" I watched this video YouTube and went from there.  I glued everything in place except the images as that is the hardest part you want to make sure they open correctly.  Look at the picture below and you can see how the images are the exact opposite in the way you lay them. 
Images used: Christmas Dreaming, Snowman's New Hope, Bart Loves Christmas and Christmas Cocoa

Challenges: 
Tic Tac Toe - TTC 137 any shape die, snow, tree
