INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Trim a sheet of Vista mirror card to size and adhere to the base card.

2 Die-cut the two largest dies from Scalloped and Pierced Square die set in white and red mirror card, then glitter the white die-cut panel using Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Trim a sheet of patterned paper from the Santa’s Workshop paper pad to fit the red mirror die-cut panel, then go around the four sides using Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer the three panels together and adhere to the base card. For the next layer, repeat as before, but this time use two smaller dies from the die set. Decorate with red pearls from the Candy Bling Box and secure onto the base card with foam pads.

3 From the Scalloped and Pierced Oval die set, cut the outer one in red mirror card. Cover a sheet of white card with the A4 double-sided sticky sheet, die-cut with a stitched-edge die, place inside the Decadent Dots embossing folder, and emboss. Remove the top of the sticky sheet and cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer the two oval die-cut panels and secure onto the base card with foam pads.

4 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the Santa image from the ‘Making a List, Checking it Twice’ stamp and die set using the Versafine Clair Black ink and WOW! Clear Gloss embossing powder onto white card. Colour with the marker pens and add Snowball Sparkelicious glitter to the trim on the bottom of the jacket. For a 3D effect, stamp and heat-emboss Santa again, colour with the marker pens the parts that are required, add Snowball Sparkelicious glitter to the fur trims and Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter to the beard. Apply Glossy Accents to the boots, fussy cut the extra parts, and attach to the main image with Pinflair glue, securing onto the base card with foam pads to finish.

5 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut Santa’s sack. Colour with the markers pens and add Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Stamp, heat-emboss and fussy cut the sack only, adhere both together, and secure onto the main card with foam pads.

6 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the sentiment using Versafine Satin Red ink and WOW! Clear Gloss embossing powder onto white card. Cover with Glossy Accents, then, when dry, affix to the main card with foam pads. Secure the red bow and pearl in place using Pinflair glue to finish.
