Instructions:

1 Trim a sheet of patterned paper to 7¾” square and affix to the card using Dries-Clear glue. Trim Crystal White pearl card to 7¼” square, edge with a chisel-tip glue pen, then cover with Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads. Trim Lapis Lazuli pearl cardstock to 7” square and affix to the card using foam pads.

2 Trim white pearl cardstock to 6 ¾” square and stamp the snowflake border down both sides using a clear embossing inkpad. Heat-emboss using Metallic Silver Sparkle embossing powder. Add a crystal to the centre of each snowflake and affix to the card using foam pads.

3 Die-cut two different-sized Gilded Rectangles. Apply glue to the debossed line on the larger one using a Quickie glue pen and cover with Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads. Apply Stormy Sky Distress ink to the smaller rectangle. Apply a scribble of glue to the bottom and cover with Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Affix to the card using foam pads.

4 Stamp out two snowmen using a black inkpad and heat-emboss using Clear Gloss embossing powder. Colour in using alcohol markers. Cut out one snowman whole, and then just the scarf and hat of the other. Layer together and glitter using Dries-Clear glue, and Crystallina and Sleigh Bells glitter. Apply faux fur to the hat trim and pom pom. Affix to the card using foam pads. Add two crystals to the buttons.

5 Emboss two large and four medium poinsettias onto vellum and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp out one large and two medium poinsettias onto vellum using a clear embossing inkpad and heat-emboss using Sparkling Snow embossing powder. Die-cut with the coordinating dies. Apply dots of Dries-Clear glue to the centres of each and cover in Diamanté Sparkle. Once dry, shape the leaves and layer them together. Add a sparkler to the centre of each, then affix to the card using 3D glue gel.

6 Cut out some foliage from the sheets and glitter using Dries-Clear glue and Crystals Crush Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, tuck in behind the poinsettias.

7 Stamp out the sentiment onto Crystal White pearl card and heat-emboss using Metallic Silver Sparkle embossing powder. Trim and matt onto Lapis Lazuli pearl card. Affix to the card using foam pads to finish.
