Instructions: The finished card measures 6 inches by 6 inches. To make the card base, cut white card stock 6 inches by 12 inches and score and fold at 6 inches on the long side. Cut a mat layer from the paper collection a little smaller than the card base and distress the edges with scissors. Adhere on the card base with clear drying glue. Cut a 6 by 6 inch card panel from paper collection, cut a little smaller than the mat layer, distress the edges with scissors and adhere on the mat layer with foam strips.
Stamp the trees from Snowy pine village stamp set with leaf green archival ink. Cut with matching die. Add embossing ink on the edges and add embossing powder. Heat set with heat tool. Stamp the flowers with Rose Madder ink and colour lightly with the same ink with sponge daubers. Shape the smaller poinsettias with 3D flower shaping mold after cutting them with matching die. Shape the larger poinsettias with groove tool and the flower shaping kit. Layer the flowers together using glue and add prills. Add a little adhesive on the petals and add sparkling dust.
Cut the ornaments from the paper collection using the coordinating die. Stamp many pine leaves with green archival ink and colour with same color. Cut with matching die and shape with groove tool. Add glitter on the ornaments using clear glue.
Stamp a snowy village scene with black archival ink. Colour using color pencils and cut with matching die. Add a little snow using sparking dust powder. Cut two circles from the Circle die set from the paper collection. Adhere the village image on one circle. Adhere this on another bigger circle that has been scored at 1/8 inch intervals. Cut an eyelet circle and distress with green ink. Add the two circle layers on the eyelet circle and place the whole set on the card front. Add the trees.
Arrange the flowers, leaves and ornaments. Add sparkle with stickles and sparkling dust. Add dots of stickles to give the effect of snow.
