Designer’s Tip: I love the look of the Glass Bead Glitter Gel on acetate. To get the look of heat embossing on the mirror sheets, simply heat emboss on Heat Resistant Acetate, then adhere over the mirror sheet. Do not try to use heat on the mirror sheet, as it will shrivel/warp/melt!

Instructions:

  1. Card front: Cut a piece of blue mirror sheet to fit the card front. Peel off the backing and apply it to cover the card. Cut 7"x7" of Heat Resistant Acetate. Secure the Snowfall stencil to it with stencil tape. Scrape Glass Bead Glitter Gel over the stencil with the mini squeegee. Lift the stencil and let dry overnight. Cut out 5"x3 1/2" of the snowflakes acetate. On the back, place Zots™ on some of the snowflakes. Flip it over (Zot™ side down) and adhere to the top of the card.
  2. Cut a 5"x2 3/8" piece of Heat Resistant Acetate. Rinse with water and pat dry with paper towels. Stamp "Merry Christmas” in the center with VersaMark™ and heat emboss with Super Fine White embossing powder. Apply thin strips of Ultra Clear Tape (cut in half lengthwise) across the top and bottom of the back of the acetate, and adhere to the card just under the snowflakes piece. Cut 5"x3/4" of snowflake acetate and Zot™ as before, and place just under the greeting section to cover the card. Use Zips™ to place lengths of white satin ribbon across the top and bottom of the greeting section. Zot™ a bow to the upper right of the greeting as shown.
  3. Card inside: Cut 5"x1 3/8" of blue mirror and apply across the top, 1/2" from the top. Zot™ a 5"x5/8" strip of snowflake acetate across the blue mirror as shown.
