How to make:

1 Die-cut a scalloped square card base using the largest scalloped square die and a white card blank. Place the die slightly over the edge of the card fold and affix with low-tac tape before running through an A4 die-cutting machine. Using the same die, cut another scalloped square from red matt mirror card and affix to the front of the card base using dries-clear glue.

2 Using the second-largest die from the Pierced and Scalloped Squares die set, die-cut a panel from gold matt mirror card, then adhere to the card front using foam pads.

3 Trim a sheet of Jupiter pearl card to 7x7” then place inside the Star Background embossing folder and run through the die-cutting machine. Using dries-clear adhesive, add Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter to the raised areas, as shown. Add the same glitter around the edges of the card using the chisel-tip glue pen. Affix to the card front using foam pads.

4 Die-cut gold matt mirror card using the fifth-largest die from the Scalloped and Pierced Squares die set and then Jupiter pearl card using the sixth-largest die from the same set. Add Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter to the edges of the Jupiter panel and then matt and layer both onto the card front using foam pads.

5 Fussy cut some berry branches from gold foiled acetate. Add Santa’s Suit Sparkelicious glitter to the reverse of the berries using dries-clear adhesive and set aside to dry.

6 Stamp three large and four medium Wonderland Poinsettias onto Jupiter pearl paper using the clear inkpad, then cover with St. Tropez Sands embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut the flowers, add dots of dries-clear adhesive to the petals, and sprinkle with Salted Caramel Sparkelicious glitter. Layer up the flowers, as shown, using 3D glue gel. Add a gold tint to the 12mm and 10mm Sparklers using the marker pen and affix to the centre of each flower using 3D glue gel. Affix the flowers to the top left of the card, as shown, using 3D glue gel.

7 Stamp the large and small Christmas branches onto heat-resistant acetate using the clear inkpad, then cover with St. Tropez Sands embossing powder and heat set. Fussy cut the branches, add dots of dries-clear adhesive, and cover with Rockin Robin Sparkelicious glitter. Add some red self-adhesive gems for decoration. Affix the branches to the card front, as shown, using 3D glue gel. Arrange the gold foiled berries around the branches and affix with 3D glue gel. Stamp the three hanging decorations from the Christmas Branch die and stamp set onto Jupiter pearl card using the clear inkpad, cover with Polished Gold embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut using the corresponding dies and, using dries-clear adhesive, infill with Santa’s Suit and Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter, as shown. Add a self-adhesive sparkle to the centre of each decoration. Using foam pads affix to the card front to look like the decorations are hanging from the branches.

8 Stamp the sentiment onto Jupiter pearl card using the clear inkpad, cover with Polished Gold Superfine embossing powder and heat set. Matt and layer onto gold matt mirror card and affix to the card front, as shown, using foam pads. Add some self-adhesive sparkles to the card to finish.
