Cover in Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card using foam pads. Emboss the second rectangle using the Christmas Tree 3D embossing folder. Affix to the card using foam pads. Emboss another Christmas tree onto Crystal White pearl card and die cut. Lightly rub over the image using silver gilding wax. Apply flicks of Dries-Clear glue to the tree and cover in Starlight Sparkelicious glitter. Add dots of glue to the tree and star, and cover in Sleigh Bells Sparkelicious glitter. Add a few crystals to the tree and affix to the card using foam pads.
