Pierce a hole in the center of all 3 poinsettias and leaves, then thread the blue stamen through, using hot glue to attach. Trim off excess wire from the backside of poinsettias. Use the shaping stylus to shape the trees, pine sprigs and ornament branch.

Attach clear cardstock circles onto both circle frames. Attach dimensional adhesive strips around the circle frame. Pour a bit of Frosting Powder onto the circle that has the adhesive. Attach the remaining circle on top to create a shaker frame.
