Designer Tips: Here I placed the cutting dies together on the card front to cut a window with words as a focal. Silver shiny paper and bright patterned paper beneath the words creates a festive contrast.

• Cover the card front with Winter’s Garden red tiny holly leaves paper. Place the card out flat, facing up so the scored fold is horizontal across the center. Align the 2 cutting dies together, centered 1 1/4" from the top. Tape the corners of the dies in place. Place in the appropriate “sandwich” for your die cutting machine and run it through the machine. Remove the dies and excess paper/cardstock.
• Place the “Merry & Bright” die back on the card, aligning the words and Christmas lights. Tape the corners in place. Use the VersaMark™ Pen to add the ink through the scalloped lines between the words and Christmas lights. Carefully lift the tape and die. Sprinkle with silver embossing powder and tap off the excess. Emboss with the heat gun.
• Glue Winter’s Garden striped paper across the bottom 2” of the card and a 1/2" wide strip across the top. Add White Jewel Border Dazzles™ and Silver Jewel Dazzles™ as shown. Layer Winter’s Garden die cuts with foam tape and foam tape on the lower left corner of the card. Use 1/8” wide brown grosgrain ribbon to tie a bow. Zot™ the bow on the card as shown.
• Cut a 6 1/2"x3 1/8” Winter’s Garden green/white dots paper and place it on the back of the card front, even with the bottom. Check to see that the green paper shows through the die cut words “Merry & Bright” and the ornaments/lights on the front. Add White Jewel Border Dazzles™.
• Inside: Cover the inside with Silver Linen Specialty paper. Cut a 6 1/2"x2 3/4" Winter’s Garden green/red holly paper and mat the top edge on green/white dots paper with a 1/4" border. Glue it even with the bottom of the card. Place Christmas Greetings Dazzles™ “Season’s Greetings” centered on a tag die cut and glue it centered on the holly paper. Add a poinsettia die cut as shown. Place Dazzles™ and Zot™ ribbon as shown.
