INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Create a 7¾” square panel from foiled paper and affix to the card using dries-clear glue. Trim white cardstock to 7½” square and edge with a chisel-tip glue pen, then cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card using foam pads. Trim a sheet of foiled paper to 7¼” square and affix to the card using dries-clear glue.

2 Die-cut one of the snowflake frames from white cardstock and edge with a chisel-tip glue pen then cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Trim a sheet of Aquamarine pearl card to slightly larger and edge with Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Adhere both panels to the card, at an angle, using foam pads. Trim white card slightly smaller than the snowflake frame and then run through the Swirly Snowflakes embossing folder. Affix to the card.

3 Stamp out the sentiment onto white cardstock using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Clear Ocean embossing powder. Trim then matt and layer onto silver mirror card. Affix to the centre of the card using foam pads.

4 Run a panel of aquamarine pearl card and two panels of silver mirror card through the Crystal Snowflakes embossing folder. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Layer the snowflakes, as shown, and affix to the card using foam pads.

5 Cut out some of the foiled foliage and tuck behind the snowflakes using 3D glue gel. Add three crystals from the Bling Box to the remaining corners using dries-clear glue.
