For each section, matt and layer together blue mirror card, Crystal White pearl card (glittering the four sides of the white ones with Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter) and patterned paper from the Frosty Christmas Foiled Paper Pad. Secure the ribbon to the largest panel before attaching all three to the base card.

2 Using the Bubble die set, cut number three in blue mirror card, four in Crystal White pearl card (glittering around the edges using Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter), and five in patterned paper from the Frosty Christmas 8x8" foiled paper pad. Attach the patterned paper die-cut shape to the white number, matt and layer onto the blue mirror card using 3D foam pads and attach to the left-hand side panel.

3 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the Christmas Magnolia flowers using Vista pearl card and WOW Diamond White embossing powder. Add Frosty Christmas Sparkelicious glitter, shape the petals, and attach them together with Pinflair glue. Die-cut the stamens in silver mirror and silver glitter card, secure into the middle of the magnolia flowers with Pinflair glue and attach a jewel from the Frosty Christmas Bling Box.

4 Stamp, heat-emboss and fussy-cut the leaves from the Christmas Magnolia stamp and die set onto acetate. Glitter the back of the acetate using Art Glitter Dries-Clear glue and glitter with an assortment of Sparkelicious glitters.

5 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the berry foliage from the Dazzling Foliage stamp and die set onto Crystal White card using WOW Metallic Silver embossing powder, then decorate with jewels and pearls from the Frosty Christmas Bling Box. Die-cut the swirl from the Summer Foliage stamp and die set in silver mirror card and arrange the flowers and foliage onto the left-hand side of the Bubble die-cut shape, securing in place with Pinflair glue.
