INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Using the largest die from the Scalloped and Pierced Square die set, cut into silver mirror card and attach to the base card. Die-cut the second die in the set using the Crystal White pearl card, then go around the four sides with glue and cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Trim down a sheet of patterned paper from the Beautiful Butterflies foiled paper pad, go around the edges with Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter, then matt and layer both glittered panels together and secure onto the base card with foam pads.

2 Die-cut the third die from the Scalloped and Pierced Circle die set in silver mirror card and the fourth die in Crystal White pearl card. Stamp and heat-emboss the Baby Boy Statement Sentiment stamp onto the Crystal White pearl card panel using Metallic Silver embossing powder, then matt and layer the two circle panels and attach to the main card with foam pads.

3 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment stamp again onto another piece of white card, concentrating on just the ‘Baby Boy’ part. Colour with a blue marker pen, add Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, then fussy cut and attach to the main card with Pinflair glue gel. Decorate the background with pearls from the Candy Cane Lane Bling Box and cover the small stars with Lemon Sorbet Sparkelicious glitter.

4 From the Basic Star die set, cut the small stars using different coloured paper from the Pastel Sorbet A4 paper pad, then cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and secure into place with Pinflair glue gel. Attach the large bow to the top left-hand corner and decorate with glittered stars to finish.
