Designer's Tip: Use removable tape to secure the dies on the papers and cardstock before die cutting the borders and edges. They won’t shift during cutting and they’re perfectly centered on the edges! Refer to the photo to see which border die is used for each element on the page. And to make lining up and centering the dies on the card edges, I work on a cutting mat with a grid printed on it.

Instructions:

1. For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the top. Cut 6⅜"x4⅞" Wonderland dark snowflakes paper and glue centered on the front. Open the card and place the die indicated in the photo across the lower right corner of the front, angled as shown. Secure with removable tape, then follow the manufacturer’s directions to die cut the card.
2. For the strip along the card top, cut 6½"x1⅝" Wonderland blue textured paper. Secure the die shown in the photo centered along one long edge, then die cut it. Stamp the snowflake border on the strip, cover with embossing powder, and tap off the excess. Heat to melt the powder, then trim the ends, making it 6⅜" long. Glue to the upper edge of the dark snowflakes paper.
3. Place one thin lines Dazzles™ along the upper edge of the papers and two lines across the card 1⅞" and 2⅛" from the bottom, trimming the excess. Punch out the Wonderland die-cuts shown and remove the nibs. Cut out the “spread the cheer” banner.
4. Glue the label die-cut, the banner, and one snowflake centered on the lower Dazzles™ as shown. Foam tape the second snowflake die-cut and the tree as shown. In a well-ventilated area, spray glitter over the front and let dry. Place rhinestones on the front as shown.
5. For the inside: Cut 6⅜"x4⅞" Wonderland collage paper. Stamp and emboss a snowflake corner in each of the paper corners, then glue the paper centered on the inside.
6. Cut out the “wishing you a season…” sentiment. Punch out the Wonderland die-cuts shown and remove the nibs. Glue the label ⅝" from the left edge and the sentiment extending off the right edge of the label. Foam tape the stamp and snowflake die-cuts as shown. Spray with glitter, then place the rhinestones as shown.
