Instructions:
- For the card front: Place the card with the fold at the top. Cut 6⅜"x4⅞" Cutsie Christmas aqua snowflakes paper. Cut 6⅜"x1⅝" Cutsie Christmas striped paper and mat the long edges on cardstock with ⅛" borders. Glue it to the snowflakes paper, ½" above the bottom, then glue the snowflakes paper centered on the card front.
- Place three gold thin line Dazzles™ across the striped paper as shown, trimming the excess. Place green “ho ho ho” and two snowflake Dazzles™ on the left end of the striped paper as shown.
- Peel the standing gold Santa Dazzles™ off its backing sheet and place it sticky side up on your work surface. Color the sticker with the markers, following the card photo as a guide. (I found that using a bouncing or dotting motion with the markers produced the best results; longer strokes moved the glue around too much and left blank areas.)
- Attach the Santa sticker to cardstock and cut around it, leaving a narrow white edge. Foam tape the sticker to the front as shown. Repeat the coloring process with the right-facing gold elf with presents. Attach the elf to cardstock, cut it out as for the Santa, then foam tape it as shown. Decorate the stickers with jewel Dazzles™.
- For the inside: Cut 4½"x3½" Cutsie Christmas dark blue snowflakes paper and mat it on Gold paper with ⅛" borders. Glue it to the inside center. Cut out the white/dotted Cutsie Christmas tag and mat it on Gold paper with 1/16" borders. Place red “jingle all the way” Dazzles™ on it, then glue the tag to the center of the snowflakes paper.
- Place a left-facing gold elf with gifts and a gold presents Dazzles™ sticker on white cardstock and cut them out as before. Glue both in place as shown, then decorate the stickers and tag with jewel Dazzles™.
