Matt and layer onto the top of each, silver mirror card and patterned paper, glittering around the sides of the patterned matts with White Christmas Sparkelicious glitter. Affix both layers to the base card using foam pads.
2 From the Basic Oval die set, cut a large die from silver mirror card and emboss using the Christmas Tree embossing folder. Matt and layer onto a larger white oval die-cut panel, glittering around the edges of this panel with White Christmas Sparkelicious glitter, and attach to the main card with foam pads.
3 Place a double-sided sticky sheet over white cardstock and die-cut using the tree from the set. Place inside the embossing folder and emboss. Remove the top from the double-sided sticky sheet and cover the tree with White Christmas Sparkelicious glitter. Decorate the background using the Art Glitter glue and jewels from the Everyday Essentials Bling Box and secure in place with foam pads. Emboss a small piece of silver mirror card for the star, fussy cut it out, and attach it to the main tree.
