How to make:

1 Trim down a sheet of red mirror card and attach to the base card. Using the Scalloped and Pierced Square die set, cut the largest die in Crystal White pearl card and go around the four sides using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Die-cut the next die from the set from red mirror card, then adhere both together and secure onto the base card with foam pads. Matt and layer on top a panel of patterned paper from the Winter Wonderland foiled paper pad, glittering the four sides using Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter.

2 For the next layer, using the same die set as Step 1, die-cut number six in Crystal White card. Stamp and heat-emboss along the top the Elegant Baubles using Silver Bells embossing powder. Secure the red ribbon in place on the bottom left-hand corner. Matt and layer onto a red mirror card scalloped die-cut panel and adhere to the base card with foam pads. Colour the baubles with the marker pens.

3 Stamp, heat-emboss and fussy cut the baubles numerous times onto scrap card. Colour as before and glitter with assorted Sparkelicious glitters, securing in place using 3D glue gel.

4 Decorate the background using Metallic Self-adhesive Sparkles and Starfall and Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. Secure the red bow and 12mm Sparkle in place using glue gel.

5 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment from the Elegant Christmas Verses set onto white card. Matt and layer onto red mirror card and affix with foam pads to finish.
