INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Trim a sheet of patterned paper to 7¾” square and affix to the card using dries-clear glue. Apply a thin line of glue to the edge of the patterned paper by butting up the metal tip to the edge of the paper and dragging carefully toward yourself, leaving behind a line of glue. Cover in Red Velvet Sparkelicious glitter. Trim a sheet of white cardstock to 7½” square and patterned paper to slightly smaller. Glue together and then affix to the card blank using foam pads.
2 Die-cut a circle from Jupiter pearl card and affix to the card using foam pads. Die-cut a smaller circle from Lapis Lazuli pearl card and apply a thick rim of glue using a chisel-tip glue pen. Cover in Stardust Blue Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card using foam pads. Die-cut the snowflake and star circle from Crystal White pearl card and edge with glue. Cover in Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card using foam pads.
3 Stamp out two boots onto white cardstock using an Onyx Black Versafine inkpad. Heat-emboss using Clear Gloss embossing powder then die-cut using the coordinating die. Colour in using alcohol markers and apply dries-clear glue to the boots’ straps, then cover in Red Poinsettia Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, apply dries clear glue to the buckles and cover in stardust gold sparkelicious glitter. Cut two pieces of faux fur and add to the top of the boots. Affix to the card using foam pads.
4 Stamp out two each of the extra elements onto white cardstock using the Onyx Black Versafine inkpad and heat-emboss using Clear Gloss embossing powder. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Colour in using alcohol markers and glitter using dries-clear glue with Red Poinsettia and Stardust Gold Sparkelicious glitter. Carefully tuck in behind the boots using 3D glue gel.
5 Stamp one of the postmark images onto both Lapis Lazuli and Jupiter pearl card using a clear embossing inkpad. Heat-emboss using Opaque Bright White embossing powder. Carefully cut out the Lapis Lazuli one whole and the Jupiter one by cutting away the edge. Adhere together using foam pads. Apply a thin line of glue around the edge and cover in Red Velvet Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads.
6 Tie a triple bow and affix to the top right-hand corner, then add a crystal to the centre. Finally, add some self-adhesive sparkles to the snowflakes in the background.
