Instructions:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.)
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
