Instructions: Size: 10 x 10". Start with a 12 x 12" decorative sheet with poinsettia corners. Cut each corner off starting at 6" mark at top and going to 6" mark at side for each. Cut the center portion of paper down by 1" on top and bottom also 1" on each side. Cut a white 12 x 12" to 10 x 10 "and glue the center red piece and 4 corners back together to reform page. Use the cut lines to place 3 decorative borders from the Starry Night Decorative Die cut from Ivory cardstock. Cut 1 Adorn It from ivory using any of the decorative slits for the picture to slide into. Find the place where you will glue the Adorn It die cut and make a mark on each side of the slit. Take the die cut away and use a kraft knife to cut a slit into JUST the red paper (not through the cardstock behind it). Now glue the Adorn It die cut onto page so that slits match and you can now insert a photo.
Mat a photo with green decorative paper and glue photo to it then insert into pocket (the sample page has the photo glued to the page, but you wouldn't have to do that so that you could slide the photo in and out if desired). Cut 2 hearts from red and 2 eyelet hearts from ivory, glue together and pop up on 2 horizontal corners. Cut 4 ivory corners from Album tags and Accents and glue them to the 4 corners of 10 X 10" page.
Stamp, die cut and color large candle, poinsettia blossoms and holly with berries. Shape the flowers with the shaping mold (see video) and slightly shape holly with berries. Glue 3 layers of poinsettias together and add Prills to the center of poinsettias. Arrange Candle, poinsettias and holly in the left lower corner of photo pocket. Add glitter to the page randomly and to the flowers.

Cut a 6" square piece of white stamping card and sponge the misty grey colour cloud over the card. Dot with water, allow to sit on the card for 10 seconds then blot off (this will give a patchy affect). Die cut the decorative medallion die using scrap card, place on the square and use a stencil with the pretty in pink colour cloud ink. Repeat the stenciling until the whole card has been covered with the stenciled pink. Use the leaves in the simply classic stamp set to randomly stamp using the highland heather ink.

Instructions: Card size: 6 1/4 x 6 1/4". Use the shadow box that comes with the 6 x 6 foldout cards and construct the box without gluing it yet. Use some foam between the layer tabs at the bottom of the box to keep them apart for display. Cover the back with decorative Under the Sea Paper (6 1/8 X 6 1/8") Make sure to put it on going the right direction when box is closed. Cut decorative paper for the front, sides and back of box. To cut the opening, place the front paper inside front and trace the opening onto it then hand cut. Glue front and side on, set aside the paper for the back.
Stamp using black, coral x 3, shells, fish, and plant life (Rain Boots and Blossoms & Backyard Blossoms) on white, die cut and color. Stamp flowers using Buttercup, Tiger Lily, Deep Purple, Magenta Hue and Rose Madder. Sponge with the same colors and create center colors mixing and matching ink colors above. Die cut and start the shaping in the 3D Floral Basics Shaping Mold. While still damp, pinch creases in petals created by the mold just to deepen them. Glue 2 different sizes together except small flowers which are singles then add Prills to centers and stigma. Stamp, sponge and die cut leaves using Fern Green and Leaf Green.
Glue coral to the front bottom and sides and cut off excess from 1 side (save it). Glue sand color card stock, shells, more coral to the bottom, divided layer tabs. Glue plant life mainly on the sides of opening and a little on the back layer.
Stamp sentiment onto decorative water paper then circle cut. Cut a white mat a little larger, then glue them together and glue to the back water scene. Pop up fish around the sentiment. Apply Nuvo drops as bubbles on the background coming from the coral and the fish.
Re-construct box now gluing the back tabs onto the back of the back scene. Cover with set aside 6 1/8 x 6 1/8" decorative paper (or plain white cardstock). Once glue is set, decorate the top of box with the leaves and flowers. Glitter all the flowers, add pearls around in coral and in shell. Use Nuvo Shimmer brush on the fish.
