Instructions: Locate light blue snowflake patterned paper within paper collection. Trim out pieces for small outside fold, along with pieces needed for the inside of the card (back of small fold, center panel as well as side panel). Trim slightly smaller than the original measurements if you desire the black frame around each part of the card. Now locate the 12" x 12" layout page that has the large sleigh image on the bottom. Cut out the sleigh in a square measuring 6" x 6". This will be the image that will appear on the card behind your stamped fence image. Using a sponge dauber, ink all edges of all the pieces you've cut using a teal colored ink. Adhere pieces where they belong on the card. Now locate the strip with the purple poinsettias and trim to fit along front of small flip fold, ink all edges with teal ink and adhere as shown. Cut out a backing for the back of the card using black card stock to cover up score line if you desire.
Using the preprinted tag from within the paper collection, fussy cut skates and poinsettia image to use in the upper corner on the small flip fold. Ink all edges with a teal colored ink and adhere as shown. Stamp gate cling stamp using grey ink and a heavier white card stock. Cut using coordinating die and ink edges using a teal ink. Adhere to card as shown. Stamp present cling stamps onto white card stock - one in purple, one in plum and one in teal. Add a touch of color using dove blending kit, and cut using coordinating dies. Stamp one image of the mittens in teal ink, die cut and apply teal coloring using sponge dauber. Using a dark green ink, stamp one inking of the vine along with the decorative wreath onto white card stock. Die cut, add a touch of light green color to leaves and some plum color to berries. Shape wreath, vine and presents slightly. Adhere to card as shown. Next, stamp both sizes of poinsettias onto white card stock three times using a dark purple ink, and the holly three times as well in a dark green ink. Sponge poinsettia petals with a plum ink and then sponge dark purple around the edges of all petals. Sponge insides of the holly leaves with light green ink and sponge edges with a dark green ink. Shape poinsettias and leaves, assemble a double bloom backed with holly leaves. Adhere to card as shown. Locate one of the 6" x 6" card panels in the paper collection that showcases the sleigh, trim to fit inside center of card and ink all edges with a teal color. Adhere to inside of card. Working carefully, shape the gate into just a slight bend so the center comes outward. Add a touch of glitter to blooms and preprinted elements on outside and inside of card.
