INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Place the top of the largest die from the Gilded Squares set just over the fold on the base card and die-cut. Using the same die, cut again in white card and adhere both together. Glitter the debossed lines using Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. Cut the next die in the set in silver mirror card and attach to the base card with foam pads.

2 Using the third die from the set, cut in Lapis Lazuli pearl card and emboss with the 8x8” Starlit Star embossing folder. Cover all the embossed parts with Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter and secure in place with foam pads.

3 For the middle layer, die-cut panels in silver mirror card and patterned paper from the paper pad. Glitter the debossed lines on the patterned panel with Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter, then matt and layer together and secure onto the main card with foam pads.

4 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the Starlit Christmas Tree five times using Starlit Silver embossing powder, clear embossing inkpad and Lapis Lazuli pearl card. With four of the trees, cut a segment off each one before attaching to the main tree for a 3D effect. Glitter the bottom part of each panel using Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut the star from the set and secure in place at the top of the tree, along with the Flower Sparkler.

5 Finish by decorating the tree using pearls from the Frosty Christmas Bling Box.
