    INSTRUCTIONS:

    Create a 7¾”-square panel from Jupiter pearl card and affix to the card blank using Dries-clear glue. Trim a sheet of white cardstock to 7½” square and affix to the card using foam pads. Trim a sheet of patterned paper to 7¼” square and affix to the card using Dries-clear glue.

    2 Trim another sheet of Jupiter pearl card down to 6½” square and edge with a chisel-tip glue pen. Cover in Red Poinsettia Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card at an angle using foam pads. Trim white cardstock to 6½” square and affix to the card at the opposite angle to the glittered panel using foam pads. Trim a sheet of patterned paper to 6¼” square and affix to the card using Dries-clear glue.

    3 Die-cut Basic Circle 7 from white cardstock and affix to the card using foam pads. Die-cut Decorative Circle 2 from Jupiter pearl card. Run a chisel-tip glue pen all around the edges and cover in Red Poinsettia Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads. Die-cut Basic Circle 12 from patterned paper and affix to the card using foam pads.

    4 Stamp the two candy canes using Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock. Heat-emboss using Clear Gloss Superfine embossing powder, then die-cut using the coordinating dies and colour in using alcohol markers. Apply Dries-clear glue to the white sections on the candy canes and cover in Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card, creating a heart shape, using foam pads.

    5 Die-cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from Jupiter pearl card. Apply glue all over, using a chisel-tip glue pen, then cover in Red Poinsettia Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using Dries-clear glue.

    6 Add few clay embellishments to the background using Dries-clear glue. Create little hearts using the candy cane embellishments and secure in place using 3D glue gel. Add a few Self-adhesive Sparkles to the background and a few pearls to the corners, as shown. Finish by trying a triple bow from red satin ribbon and affix into the corner using 3D glue gel, adding a candy embellishment to the centre.
