2 Die-cut the second die from the Leafy Lace Frame die set in Lagoon mirror card and the third die in Crystal White pearl card. Go around the four sides of Crystal White panel using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter then adhere both together and secure onto the base card. Matt and layer Lagoon mirror card, Crystal White pearl card (glittering this piece, as before), and patterned paper from the Cany Cane Lane paper pad on top of the die-cut panels.

3 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the elements from the Driving Home for Christmas stamp and die set onto Crystal White pearl card using Versafine Clair Black ink and WOW! Clear Gloss embossing powder. Stamp and heat-emboss the main stamp again and fussy-cut the Christmas tree. Colour all the elements with the marker pens, decorate with Winter Wonderland and Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, and apply the Glossy Accents to various parts of the vehicle. When everything is completely dry, attach the second tree to the main image with Pinflair glue gel and secure onto the main card along with the presents.

Shape the petals, adhere together, glitter with Watermelon Crush Sparkelicious glitter, and secure on the top right-hand corner with Pinflair glue gel. Secure a jewel from the Spring Collection Bling Box into the middle of each flower.
