Instructions: Using your Silhouette Cameo and design program, size your card base and window frame to a 5" x 7" card base. Cut both base and frame from white card stock using your electronic die cutting machine. Apply a thin coat of Tim Holtz Distress Stain to the window frame and set aside to dry. Locate one of the 5" x 7" pre made card panels within the paper collection that has white space off to one side. Decide where you would like to stamp candle image and mask off any area you do not wish to have the image appear. Before stamping, be sure to double check that placement of the candle image will appear as you want it to in the window. Stamp image and color using blendable pencils and blending solution. Next, drop small amounts of white embossing enamel onto the pre made image panel and stamped image. Set with heat tool. Continue this process until you have achieved the "falling snow" look you desire. Add several areas of white embossing enamel to the brown window frame itself and heat set as well. Next build up several layers of Aleenes Glitter Snow to the bottom of the window ledge, allowing each layer to dry slightly in between. Adhere window frame to image panel.
Next, moving along to the hand shaped flowers, stamp as many poinsettia images as you wish to incorporate. (In this example, the largest poinsettia has been created using the large poinsettia image and coordinating die, as well as the largest image and die from the multiple image set. Then a complete set of the multiple images have been used to create the other two smaller poinsettias.) Using sponge finger daubers and your Memento inks, begin building your colors on top of one another. Spritz with a tiny bit of water and shape using flower shaping kit. Assemble flowers and set aside to dry.
Cut one of each of the snowflake shapes in the Arianna Lace Die set. Place the largest one on the bottom corner where you will place your largest poinsetta, and the second one at the top of the card as shown. Adhere your flowers to your card base over your lace die cuts as pictured. Adhere ribbon to card base. Stamp two sets of the holly leaves and once again die cut and color using your Memento inks and sponge daubers. Arrange and adhere around floral arrangements and bow once happy with placement. Once again using the Arianna Lace Die, cut four of the swirls in the collection using white card stock. Adhere over and around leaves as shown. Locate your die cut berry clusters and color using Memento ink. Shape and adhere to card base around several poinsettias and to centre of bow. Locate small square panel with the pictured sentiment image on the tags and embellishments page in the paper collection. Fussy cut and apply using 3D pop dots. Apply Champagne Stickles to the edges of the Poinsettia leaves, and a Cameo Sparklet to the centre of each flower. Apply Diamond Stickles to the Arianna Lace snowflake die cuts, and Patina Stickles to the Arianna Lace swirl die cuts. Also apply some Diamond Stickles to the Aleenes Glitter Snow for some added shimmer. For the berry clusters, add just a touch of red and gold stickles to the tops. Lastly, apply some Gold Stickles around the outside of the window frame, and also a touch to the snow on the window sill as well. Add just a touch of a few spots of Diamond Stickles among the white embossed enamel snow to give it a hit of shine.
