2 Using the third and fourth die from the Scalloped and Pierced Square die set, die-cut using red mirror card and patterned paper from the pad. Matt and layer together and secure onto the base card with foam pads.
3 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut all the images using the Santa’s Worksop stamp, the Making a List, Checking it Twice stamp and die set, and the Snowy Tree stamp and die set onto white card using the Versafine Clair Black ink and WOW! Clear Gloss embossing powder and then colour with the marker pens. For the Santa’s Workshop image, stamp this twice. On one, cut out the door, roof and candy cane poles, then adhere to the main stamped image with foam pads. Decorate with Snowball and Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, Glossy Accents, and pearls from the Candy Bling Box for the lights. Decorate the Snowy Tree using Jazzy Jade Sparkelicious glitter. Stamp the Santa twice, fussy cutting the boots, arm, face, and the list on one of them for a 3D effect. Decorate with Glossy Accents and Snowball and Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter.
