How to make:

1 Create a 7¾”-square panel from silver mirror card and affix to the card blank using dries-clear glue.

2 Trim a sheet of Jupiter pearl card to 7½” square and then take the North Pole post office stamp and stamp repeatedly onto the card using a clear embossing inkpad to create an all-over pattern. Heat-emboss using Metallic Silver Superfine embossing powder. Edge the panel with a chisel-tip glue pen then cover in Santa’s Suit Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads.

3 Trim a sheet of white card down to 7” square and affix to the card using foam pads. Trim a sheet of silver mirror card to 6¾” square and affix to the card using dries-clear glue. Trim a sheet of Jupiter pearl card down to 6½” square and emboss using the Dashing Through the Snow embossing folder. Affix to the card using foam pads.

4 Die-cut two ovals from white card and one from silver mirror card, large enough to fit the post box image. Affix to the card using foam pads. Stamp out the post box using a Versafine black inkpad and heat-emboss using Clear Gloss embossing powder. Die-cut using the coordinating die and colour in using alcohol markers. Glitter the post box using Santa’s Suit and Black Soot Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, apply fluffy stuff to the top of the post box and heat set to puff. Affix to the card using foam pads.

5 Die-cut two large and four medium plain elegant poinsettias and one large and two medium filagree poinsettias. Apply glue to the filigree flowers using a chisel-tip glue pen and cover in Santa’s Suit Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer together and add a sparkler to the centre. Glitter some foliage using dries-clear glue and Sleigh Bells Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, affix the foliage and poinsettias to the card using 3D glue gel.

6 Stamp out one of the post marks onto Jupiter pearl card using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Metallic Silver Superfine embossing powder. Die-cut using a circle nesting die then add a self-adhesive sparkle to the centre of the snowflake. Affix to the card using foam pads. To finish the card, add three gems to the corners.
