Instructions:
- For the card front: Cut 4¾"x6¼" Santa Baby green snowflakes paper and ⅞"x6¼" red diamonds paper. Glue the red paper along the right edge of the green paper. Wrap a 6" ribbon across the papers, 1½" from the bottom, and glue the ends on the back. Glue the paper centered on the front.
- Punch out the Santa Baby circles border die cut and remove the nibs. Cut a 6¼" length, then glue to cover the left edge of the red paper, tucking it under the ribbon. Punch out the 5½"x3½" label die cut and remove the nibs. Glue it to the front as shown, slipping it under the ribbon.
- Cut out the “season’s greetings” label and mat on cardstock with 1/16" borders. Foam tape to the front at the upper right. Tie the remaining ribbon onto the first, 1¾" from the right card edge.
- Stamp the skater shown and the dog on white cardstock. Color the images with pencils as shown, using colors to coordinate with the Santa Baby papers. Dip the tip of a paper stump into the blending solution and rub it over one color, blending away the pencil marks. Repeat for each color, using a clean stump for each color. (To clean the stumps, rub the tip on the sander, rolling it while sanding, until no color remains.)
- Cut out the colored images, leaving a 1/16" white border on each. Glue the dog just above the ribbon knot and foam tape the skater to the left, overlapping the ribbon. Place rhinestones as shown.
- For the inside: Cut 5"x3¾" Santa Baby black checks paper and glue across the inside center. Cut a 10"x1¼" strip of Santa Baby striped paper, then cut into two 5" strips. Glue over the upper and lower edges of the black paper.
- Cut out the “have a super…” greeting and mat on cardstock with 1/16" borders. Punch out the die cuts shown and remove the nibs. Glue the holly die cuts to the upper left and lower right corners. Glue the sentiment at the upper right, ⅞" from the card top. Glue and foam tape the star and snowflake die cuts as shown.
- Stamp the sled and dog on white cardstock. Color as for the front images, then cut both out, leaving 1/16" borders along the edges. Glue the sled and foam tape the dog as shown, then place rhinestones on the sentiment and the small die cuts as shown.
