Hello and welcome to day seven of our popular 12 Projects of Christmas series! Our seventh instalment, by our very own Chloe, depicts the magic of Christmas Eve when Santa travels the world, delivering presents to all the boys and girls!

How to make:

1 Trim a sheet of white cardstock down to 7½” square. Stamp the Winter Wonderland Tree Border using a clear embossing inkpad, cover with Metallic Silver Sparkle embossing glitter and heat to set. Stamp some stars into the sky using a clear embossing inkpad, cover with Metallic Silver Sparkle embossing glitter and heat to set.

2 Tear a piece of scrap paper to create a hilly background. Line this up on your card, across the back of the trees. This will create the mask to help create the sky. Tape your mask in place and then use your Distress inkpads to ink the background. I like to start with a sweeping motion with one of our blending brushes, and then work over to blend the ink colours.

3 Allow a little time for your ink to dry, then add dots of PVA glue to the trees and stars in the sky and cover with Sleigh Bells Sparkelicious glitter. Add dots of PVA glue to the sky and then add some snowflakes from the Snowflake Flurry glitter over the top. Complete the background scene by applying PVA glue to the snowy area and covering with Chunky Crystallina glitter. Once dry, affix to base card.

4 Trim a sheet of white card to 7½” square. Using one of the Basic Square dies, die-cut a hole from the centre to create a frame. Cut two thin strips of white card; these will be used to create the window. Stick the strips at the top, bottom and each side to create a window, then affix to the base card using a double layer of foam pads.

5 Stamp Santa onto smooth white card using a Versafine Clair inkpad, cover with Clear Gloss Superfine embossing powder and heat to set. Using the coordinating die, cut out Santa, then colour using Copic marker pens. Apply PVA glue to the red areas and then cover with Santa Suit Sparkelicious glitter. Apply fluffy stuff to Santa’s hat and cuff, cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and then heat to set.

6 Die-cut the tag from white cardstock, then stamp the sentiment using a clear embossing inkpad. Cover with Metallic Polished Silver Superfine embossing powder and heat to set. Affix the tag to the top-left corner of the card. Complete by adding a bow and sparkler.
